Recognition timeout

Recognition timeout is the maximum interval time allowed between two strokes input when writing a character or letter. Every time you finish a stroke and lift the stylus from the touch pad, the phone begins to count time. If you do not write the next stroke within the timeout, it’s considered that you have finished writing the character or letter, and the phone begins to recognise the strokes, and displays a list of candidates.

The default recognition timeout setting is Normal. If you want to

write faster or slower, you can change the timeout in Settings, Phone settings, Recognition time- out. Refer to ”Recognition time-out”on page 45.

Use gestures

You can write several gestures for certain functions.

The gestures include: Space, Enter, Clear, and Repeat. See the table below. You can use (Repeat) only

in mode, but other gestures in all handwriting input modes.
