Ok so there's no T here....What happened?

You trying it in the Facebook app or browser? If it's the app, try it through the web browser instead and see if it works for you. I checked several times within the browser and it work for me on Facebook, I don't use their app.

No "T" for me either.

Do you guys know any app that allows us to write using the pen in a pdf or any document?

Good thread. I fall into the general "hardly use pen" category. Glad to know its there if I need it for quick note taking, screenshots, and annotating images. Thats basically how I've used the pen since the Note 2.

It was inside the app. That's where I need the function because I can copy and paste from the browser version. You can see I got it to work once, then it just stopped working. It's incredibly inconvenient to load these group through the browser. I have a lot of cross posting that we do to get information out to people... Sigh.

Ok so I had so more time to play with this function. Not sure what's going on here but I can select about 6 to 7 lines of text and the covert to text option is available, any more than that then the covert to text option disappears. Just guessing here but there must be some character count limit imposed through this option.

I wondered about that, but in note 4 I could select a whole page. I tried selecting two sentences and it won't do it! Argh... Let me know if you keep experimenting.

I believe the "T" will only show up if using the preinstalled internet browser that comes in the Note 5. For me I disabled that browser and Chrome as well. I use Apus Browser and I see no T

First install "Google goggles"
Once it's installed do your smart capture
Goto the share option and select "Google goggles"
It will scan the text in the smart capture and allow you to copy paste it to anywhere you want

One feature I wish the s pen had is bluetooth in the pen itself. It would be awesome to use the s pen button as a remote for music with double click/triple click for changing tracks and also for the camera.

It's not in the list for me, but I searched and got it. Interestingly, I also don't have the Samsung app store on my phone.

It's factory loaded.Check disabled apps in app manager.

To the O.P.: The quick note while screen is off Is the best feature IMO .

AT&T USER --- [Make Settings Direct pen Input: Hold S Pen over bottom area you would use to bring up Keypad and a BLUE SYMBOL pops-up; Touch it and what you hand-Write becomes Text in the message. Chk for Message Font How-To.]

I cannot figure out what this prior function I copied/pasted relates to. My Message App is keybd only so --"what you hand-Write becomes Text in the message" makes no sense. Has anyone used this function to explain it here? Only 1/10 on my OCD Scale but it would be fun to clarify this.

Yes I use that function all the time, especially for text messages. Just hold your S Pen over the text entry box, you should see a blue circle icon with a T in it appear, tap that blue icon and then you'll get a window where you can hand write the text. You can also switch it to drawing mode. I use the drawing mode to send my own creations to message recipients. This function works in most places where you can enter text.

the S pen is very useful for me, but i find that the button is in the way alot and often i press it inadvertently while typing.

You will get used to how to hold it. I grip the pen above the button with it facing in to me. So I never accidentally push it. Gripping it that way also helps with leverage when the Note 5 is laying on a table and you are using the S-pen.

So, the button on the pen only has a couple of uses? Or am I missing something?

Hold it to highlight text and press it to bring up the menu. Were you hoping it would do something more?
