Topic images are selectable thumbnails. The selected picture appears in the main picture window on the left of the screen. To the right of the main picture window are annotation tools for writing in the box below. Alternatively use the on-screen keyboard for the selected language. This keyboard is operated by touching the letters on the whiteboard in combination with your physical keyboard.
