<h1>Quick Start</h1>
<p class="text-muted">
A short guide to go from a handwritten page to editable text in a minute or two.
</p>
<h2>5 steps: page to post</h2>
<ol class="section-list">
<li>
<strong>Write</strong> Fill a notebook page the way you normally journal. No special paper is required.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Snap</strong> Open Pen2Post and tap the <strong>camera button</strong> at the bottom left
to take a photo of your page, or choose an existing photo if your device offers that option.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Extract</strong> After the image is loaded, tap the main <strong>Extract Text</strong> button
(in the main app screen) and wait while your handwriting is turned into text.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Shape</strong> Read through the text in the big writing area, fix any misread words,
and make sure it matches your journal page.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Share</strong> Tap the round <strong>share button</strong> at the top right to send the text
into your notes app, email, or any other app your phone suggests.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
Pen2Post gives you a good rough draft of what you wrote. You stay in control of the meaning,
and you make the final edits.
</p>
<h2>Main buttons on the screen</h2>
<ul class="section-list">
<li><strong>Top right Share</strong>: sends the text to other apps on your device using the system share sheet.</li>
<li><strong>Top right Menu</strong>: opens options like About, Quick Start, Help &amp; Tips, Credits &amp; Rewards, Legal Stuff, and Feedback.</li>
<li><strong>Bottom left Camera</strong>: lets you capture a new photo of your handwritten page.</li>
<li><strong>Bottom center Clear</strong>: clears the current text and lets you start fresh. Use this only after you have saved or shared your text.</li>
<li><strong>Bottom right Save/Copy</strong>: copies the text or triggers saving, depending on how your device is set up, so you do not lose your work.</li>
</ul>
<h2>What a typical session looks like</h2>
<p>
You write a page in your journal, open Pen2Post, tap the camera button, and snap a clear photo.
You tap Extract Text, wait a short moment, fix a few words, then use the share button to send the
result into your favorite writing or notes app.
</p>
<h2>App screen preview</h2>

<h2>Tips for your first page</h2>
<ul class="section-list">
<li>Use good, even lighting and avoid strong shadows on the page.</li>
<li>Write a little larger and clearer than your tiniest handwriting.</li>
<li>Use dark ink on light paper for best results.</li>
</ul>
<p class="text-muted">
Once you are comfortable with a single page, repeat the same steps for the rest of your notebook.
