Using Graffiti writing to enter data
23
Two stroke shapes are available for some letters. Choose the one that’s easiest
for you.
As you’ll see later in this chapter, you use the same shape to create both the
uppercase and lowercase version of a letter.
3.
Position the stylus in the left side of the screen.
4.
Start your stroke at the heavy dot, and draw the stroke shape as it appears in the
tables.
5.
Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
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.
NOTE
You must begin the character strokes on the left side of the screen. Otherwise
your handheld does not recognize them as text characters.
To delete Graffiti characters:
■
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).
Graffiti tips
When using Graffiti writing, keep these tips in mind:
■
Accuracy improves when you write large characters. Draw strokes that nearly
fill the side of the screen.
■
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
screen.
■
Press firmly.
