Help Writing Characters

The software recognizes several alternative ways of writing a character. If a character you are writing is misinterpreted, you can use Help to see an animated demonstration of how to write the letter. Tap the Help button on the input panel, and then tap Next. Select the character you want to see, and tap Show.

Options

You can adjust settings to suit the way you work. Tap Start, Settings, then Input Panel. Select Jot Character Recognizer as the input method, and then tap Options.

One of your options is to use the Simplified Uppercase Character Set. For more information about how and where to write characters using this character set, see “Simplified Uppercase Character Set” later in this appendix or select this character set in the Options dialog box and then tap the Help button on the input panel.

Natural Character Set

The tables in this section show how to use the Natural Character Set to write letters, numbers, punctuation marks, editing marks, and symbols. For each character, the tables show alternatives for writing the characters. The dots indicate where the strokes begin; strokes with no dots can be written in either direction. Where appropriate, the stroke sequence is numbered.

Using the letter areas

You can enter letters, punctuation, and editing marks in the letter areas (abc and ABC) of the input panel.
