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.
