Is there a way to move the white box (with the computer version of the name) out of the way so I can see the names under it?

    Good question, and I appreciate that it can be a bit frustrating. There isn't a way to move it, but there are a couple of ways to work around it that I have found.

    1. Review a name or two beyond it and when the box moves, you can read what you need to.
    2. By using the -/+ icons in the top right corner, you can get the white box to move just a little bit.

    If you are needing to read the other names for handwriting clues, you can review a name or two beyond it and then return back to correct a name if you need to. Be aware that if you are close to finishing a batch then you may not be able to do this.

    Good luck!

    Scrolling the page up or down will move the box above or below the name, which often helps.

    Or click "back" to review previous name and it clears the box
