Ink on your screen

For a quick answer, Wobo draws straight onto whatever is already on your screen, and the ink fades when the point is made.

This is the smallest of the three ways Wobo draws. A ring around the term you asked about. An arrow at the step where it went wrong. A number written beside a slider. One line, in place, on the thing itself.

How it behaves

  • The ink is anchored to the actual thing, not to a spot on the glass. Scroll, rotate the phone, switch to dark mode, and the mark stays on its target.
  • If the thing it points at disappears, the mark fades out rather than floating in space.
  • It fades on its own once Wobo has finished the sentence. Nothing to dismiss.
  • Wobo points before saying "this", so the ink is always there by the time the word arrives.

When Wobo uses it

For a pointer, a correction, one short line. If the answer needs more than a few strokes, a derivation or a diagram from nothing, Wobo brings out the plane instead.

Asking for it

You do not have to. But if Wobo has opened the plane and you would rather have the mark right here, say "here" and Wobo draws in place.
