Using Graffiti writing to enter data
29
That’s all there is to it! When you lift the stylus from the screen, your handheld
recognizes your stroke immediately and prints the letter at the insertion point on
the screen.
As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for the next
character you want to write.
IMPORTANT
You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti writing area. If you
do not make Graffiti strokes in the Graffiti writing area, your handheld does not
recognize them as text characters.
Graffiti tips
When using Graffiti writing, keep these tips in mind:
■
Accuracy improves when you write large characters. You should draw strokes
that nearly fill the Graffiti writing area.
■
To delete characters, simply set the insertion point to the right of the character
you want to delete and make the backspace stroke
(a line from right to left) in the Graffiti writing area.
■
Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can generate recognition errors.
■
Do not write on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to the sides of the
Graffiti writing area.
■
Press firmly.
