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:
- Tap Back to go to the normal screen.
- Open a page, pick the pen, color, and thickness you want, and write a little with it.
- Go back to the document list (this is what saves your choice).
- Return to Chatter (four-finger hold). Your new pen is now used.
