Voice recording (Max size is 25 MB for free accounts and 50 MB for Premium account. If the audio file is greater than these limits, the note is not synched with the cloud. That’s about 90 minutes of record time.)

iPad Tips
What you might already know:
Speed up your sentences. Double-tapping the spacebar while typing a message will type a period and then a space.
Virtual Keys. Tap and hold vowels, or C/S/N for displays of special characters used with foreign languages. Try the $, period, or dash.
More iPad Tips
Even I learned something new!
Tap & hold the comma key and it will insert an apostrophe.
Tap & hold the period key inserts a quotation mark.
Tapping the space bar with two fingers makes indents two spaces. Go ahead, try it with three fingers... and four!
