How do you use the trackpad to draw Chinese characters?
Does anyone know how to use the trackpad to draw Chinese characters? I can't seem to figure out how to get the screen up to allow you to trace. I just installed Snow Leopard the other day.
I do have the trackpad, my Macbook is one of the latest unibody design. Which program should I be in to get it to work. I did a search in Finder and Mail for Pinyin but didn't find anything. Is it a download?
In system preferences goto language and text, then input sources.
Ensure you have Chinese enabled in the list, also select show input menu in menu bar.
Once you have done this a little flag will be displayed on the menu bar by the clock.
Click on this and it will give you the option to display the trackpad handwriting box.
It will take a little getting used to but works well.
