Handspring Visor manual Graffiti tips

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.

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.
