# Chatter — How to Use It
|
|
|
|
Chatter is a simple writing screen. You write with the pen; the person you are
|
|
talking with reads what you wrote. That's it.
|
|
|
|
## Writing
|
|
|
|
- **Write with the pen**, just like on paper.
|
|
- The pen's color and thickness are whatever is set in the normal reMarkable
|
|
screen. (To change them, see "Changing the pen" below.)
|
|
|
|
## The two buttons (top of the screen)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
┌──────┐ ┌───────┐
|
|
│ Back │ │ Clear │
|
|
└──────┘ └───────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **Clear** (top right) — erases everything and gives you a fresh page.
|
|
- **Back** (top left) — leaves Chatter and goes to the normal reMarkable screen.
|
|
|
|
A button turns **gray** the moment you touch it, so you know it heard you. You
|
|
can press a button with **either the pen or your finger**.
|
|
|
|
## Erasing
|
|
|
|
- **Erase a little:** rub a **finger** back and forth over what you want to
|
|
remove, like erasing pencil with your fingertip.
|
|
- **Erase everything:** tap **Clear**.
|
|
- You can also flip the pen over and use the **eraser end**, like a pencil.
|
|
|
|
## More room to write
|
|
|
|
- **Two fingers, drag up or down** to scroll, when you want more space than one
|
|
screen. The page follows your fingers.
|
|
- (After scrolling, the screen may blink once to clean itself up. That's normal.)
|
|
|
|
## Going back and forth
|
|
|
|
- **Leave Chatter:** tap **Back**.
|
|
- **Return to Chatter** from the normal reMarkable screen: place **four fingers
|
|
on the screen and hold** for about a second.
|
|
|
|
## Changing the pen (color / thickness)
|
|
|
|
Chatter copies the pen you last used in the normal reMarkable screen. To change
|
|
it:
|
|
|
|
1. Tap **Back** to go to the normal screen.
|
|
2. Open a page, pick the pen, color, and thickness you want, and **write a little
|
|
with it**.
|
|
3. **Go back to the document list** (this is what saves your choice).
|
|
4. Return to Chatter (four-finger hold). Your new pen is now used.
