General guidelines for Graffiti 2 writing
Follow these guidelines to learn and use Graffiti 2 writing strokes successfully:
•
To achieve 100% accuracy, practice drawing characters exactly as they
appear in the tables later in this chapter.
•
The heavy dot on each shape indicates where to start the stroke.
•
Graffiti 2 includes symbols made with a single stroke and symbols made with multiple strokes.
- For multi-stroke characters, a temporary character is displayed after the first stroke, to show that
the stroke was recognized. For example, after the first vertical stroke of “t”, a temporary “l” is
shown. There is a limited time window during which the second stroke must be drawn. Otherwise
the temporary stroke is recorded.

1.
Tap the
screen
where you want to write text.
