|  Welcome to the '''Spoken Tutorial''' on “'''Text tool features'''” using '''Inkscape'''.

|-
|00:06
| In this tutorial, we will learn about:

|-
|00:09
|'''Manual kerning''' '''Spell checking'''

|-
|00:12
|'''Super-script''' '''Sub-script'''.

|-
| 00:15
| To record this tutorial, I am using:

|-
| 00:17
| '''Ubuntu Linux''' 12.04 OS

|-
| 00:20
| '''Inkscape''' version 0.48.4.

|-
| 00:24
| I will be recording this tutorial in maximum resolution mode. This is to accommodate all the tools that will be demonstrated.

|-
| 00:33
| Let us open '''Inkscape'''.

|-
| 00:35
| Earlier in the series, we learnt to create and format text using the '''Text tool'''.

|-
| 00:40
| Now, we will learn some important features of the '''Text tool'''. Click on it.

|-
| 00:45
| Let us start with '''Manual kerning.'''

|-
| 00:48
| '''Horizontal kerning''', '''Vertical shift''' and '''Character rotation''' are called '''manual kerns'''.

|-
|00:54
|  Type the word '''Spoken.'''

|-
|00:58
| Keep the cursor after the alphabet '''“S”'''.

|-
|01:01
| '''Horizontal kerning''' adds space after the selected letter.

|-
|01:05
| Click on the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the space between the letters “S” and “p”.

|-
| 01:13
| Notice that the space is introduced only between the letters '''“S”''' and '''“p”'''.

|-
|01:19
|  Let me keep the '''Horizontal kerning''' parameter as 3.

|-
|01:24
|  The next icon, i.e. '''Vertical shift,''' shifts the letters after the selected letter up or down.

|-
|01:30
| Click on the up and down arrows. 

|-
|01:34
| Observe the letters after the cursor have shifted up and down. 

|-
|01:39
| Keep this parameter as 15.

|-
|01:42
| Next, we will rotate our characters using '''Character rotation'''.

|-
|01:47
| This icon rotates only a single character which is right after the cursor.

|-
|01:51
| So, place the cursor before the letter “e”.

|-
|01:55
|Click on the up and down arrows of '''Character rotation '''and observe that the letter “'''e'''” rotates.

|-
| 02:02
| To apply the '''kerns''' to more than one character, select the characters first then give the values.

|-
| 02:09
| Let me select the letters “'''p'''” and “'''o'''” and give '''Horizontal kerning''' parameter as 5, 

|-
|02:17
|  '''Vertical shift '''parameter as 10 and 

|-
| 02:21
| '''Character rotation '''parameter as 20. 

|-
| 02:24
| Observe the changes.

|-
|02:26
|  To remove the '''kerns''', go to '''Text menu.''' 

|-
|02:29
| Click on '''Remove Manual Kerns.'''

|-
|02:32
|  '''Manual Kerns''' can be used only in '''Regular text.''' 

|-
|02:35
| In '''Flowed text''', these options will be disabled. 

|-
| 02:39
| To check, create a '''text box'''. 

|-
|02:43
| Observe, the '''Manual kerns''' options are now disabled. 

|-
|02:47
| Press '''Ctrl + Z''' to '''undo''' this action.

|-
| 02:51
| Next, we will learn about''' Spell check''' feature.

|-
| 02:54
| To explain the '''Spell check''' feature, I will copy text from '''LibreOffice writer''' that I had saved already.

|-
|03:01
| Press '''Ctrl + A''' to select the entire text and then press '''Ctrl + C''' to copy it.

|-
|03:08
|  Now come back to '''Inkscape.''' 

|-
|03:10
| Click on the '''canvas '''and press '''Ctrl + V''' to '''paste''' the text.

|-
|03:15
|  Go to '''Text menu '''and click on '''Check Spelling '''option.

|-
|03:19
| A new dialog box appears.

|-
|03:22
|  All text is checked regardless of whether it is selected or not.

|-
|03:27
| When a suspect word is found, it will be highlighted with a red box and the cursor will be placed before the text.

|-
|03:33
|  A list of suggestions appears for the word “'''http'''”.

|-
|03:37
| Since the spelling is correct we will add this word to the dictionary.

|-
|03:41
| To do so, click on '''Add to Dictionary '''button.

|-
|03:45
| This will cause the '''spell checker''' to accept the word as correctly spelled always.

|-
|03:50
| Next, the word “'''tutorial'''” is highlighted. 

|-
|03:53
| Since the spelling is wrong, select the correct word from the suggestion list which is “tutorial”. 

|-
|03:59
| Now click on '''Accept''' button.

|-
|04:02
| If you click on '''Ignore''', all other similarly spelled words in the document will get ignored. 

|-
|04:08
| If you click on '''Ignore once''', the word will get ignored only once i.e the first time only.

|-
|04:14
| If you want to stop the spell-checking process, click on '''Stop'''.

|-
|04:18
| We can restart the process by clicking the '''Start''' button. 

|-
|04:22
| Spell checking will begin with the text at the top-right and work down the canvas. 

|-
|04:27
| Let us close this '''dialog box''' now and keep this text aside.

|-
|04:32
| Next, we will learn to write '''Superscript''' and '''Subscript.'''

|-
|04:36
| Type the mathematical formula '''(a+b)2 = a2+b2+2ab.'''(a + b whole square is equal to a square plus b square plus 2ab).

|-
|04:44
| We have to change the number 2 as '''square''' in three places. 

|-
|04:48
| Select the first 2. Go to '''Tool controls bar. '''Click on '''Toggle''' '''Superscript '''icon. 

|-
|04:56
| In a similar way, change the remaining''' 2'''s.

|-
|04:59
| Next, we will write a chemical formula using subscript.

|-
|05:04
| So, type “'''H2SO4'''”. 

|-
|05:07
| Here''' 2''' and '''4''' should be written as subscripts.

|-
|05:11
| First select '''2'''. Go to '''Tool controls bar '''and click on '''Toggle''' '''Subscript '''icon.

|-
|05:17
| In a similar way, change the '''4'''.

|-
|05:19
| Let us summarize.

|-
|05:21
| In this tutorial, we have learnt:

|-
|05:24
|'''Manual kerning''' '''Spell checking'''

|-
|05:26
|'''Super-script''' and '''Sub-script'''.

|-
|05:29
|  Here are 2 assignments for you-

|-
|05:31
| Write the text '''“How are you”''' and change the font size to 75.

|-
|05:36
|Keep the cursor next to “'''w”.''' Change '''Horizontal kerning''' parameter to -20.

|-
|05:42
|Select the words '''are'''. Change the '''Vertical shift''' parameter to 40.

|-
|05:47
|Select the words '''you'''. Change the '''Character rotation''' parameter to -30. 

|-
|05:52
| Write the following formulae using '''Sub-script '''and''' Super-script''' options.

|-
| 05:57
| '''Silver sulfate - Ag₂SO₄.''' 

|-
| 06:00
| a<sup>2</sup>−b<sup>2</sup><nowiki>=(a−b)(a+b)</nowiki><br/> 

|-
| 06:06
| Your completed assignment should look like this.
