SMART Board software includes the SMART Board driver and
SMART Notebook software. The SMART Board driver activates
the SMART Board interactive whiteboard so that you can
use your finger as a mouse or annotate over applications
in electronic ink. SMART Notebook software captures and
saves notes written on the SMART Board interactive whiteboard.
SMART Board software is compatible with all major operating
systems. Use the table below to find out about the specific
features available for your platform. SMART Board software
is also available in several languages, including English,
French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Chinese Traditional,
Chinese Simplified, Korean, Portuguese and Italian.
*Note: Some features in SMART Notebook software are not
available to Macintosh users. These features are marked
as Windows only.

whiteboard so you can use your finger as a mouse on

Write on the Interactive Whiteboard

whiteboard so you can write over top of any application
