Writing With the Stylus
Your eBook includes the FonixAllegro™ handwriting recognition software. This software lets you use
your stylus to write simple stroke patterns on the on-screen writing pad, and they will be instantly
recognized as numbers, letters, or symbols. You'll probably find you can use the Allegro system
successfully and easily after only a few minutes of practice.
Different stroke patterns may be used with different handwriting recognition
systems. Be sure to review the stroke patterns for Allegro, given below, even if you are
familiar with other handwriting systems, such as Graffiti®, or Jot®.

Allegro Tips
The characters appear in the text box above the writing pad as you complete
them. Each stroke is finished when you lift your stylus.
If you make a mistake writing a character, use the stylus to move the cursor to the
right of the mistake, then draw the backspace stroke (a straightright-to-left line in the
center of the writing pad).
