68 Entering Information
Handwriting recognition is a unique user interface allowing
convenient and natural handwritten input using the stylus.
By writing in certain areas of the screen, handwriting recognition
software turns the stylus strokes into characters or numbers.
Recognition of characters - uppercase letters, lowercase letters,
numbers, symbols, gestures and extended characters - occur
according to where you write them. The mode mark at the
bottom center of the display divides the screen into the different
writing areas.
•
Stylus strokes written in the left of the display are recognized
as lowercase.
•
Stylus strokes written in the center of the display are
recognized as uppercase.
•
Stylus strokes written in the right of the display are recognized
as numbers.
Note: Handwriting recognition accepts parentheses, slashes, and
dashes in the number writing area allowing you to write birthdays,
social security numbers, and telephone numbers on the right side of
the display.
•
Most characters are written with a single stroke.
•
Write accented (Western European) letters by writing an
upper or lowercase letter, then writing the accent mark to the
right of the display.
You can enter the same character shape to write an upper and a
lowercase letter, depending on where you write on the screen.
