About SMARTInk
You can use SMARTInk to write and draw in digital ink over open applications, files, folders,
websites and any other open window on your computer. When you move, resize or minimise a
window, the ink stays with the window.

write over a video without pausing it or interfering with the video’s interactivity. You can
highlight content on your screen.
You can move, copy and paste and erase your digital ink notes or convert them to text. You
can also capture notes as an image and save the image in a SMART software file.
When you open Microsoft® Word, Excel® or PowerPoint®, you can use the Microsoft ink tools
to write in files.
