2. Go to your **device settings** and **click "general"**
3. Scroll down and **select "keyboard"**
4. In the keyboard settings, **click "keyboards"** at the top.
5. **Select "add new keyboard"**
6. Scroll and **select the handwriting keyboard** under "third-party keyboards"

3. **Click keyboards**

2. When you are ready to scan, **switch** between your current keyboard and the handwriting** keyboard**
3. Follow the instructions on how to use the app
