The Graffiti 2 writing strokes for letters closely resemble letters of the standard English alphabet, both upper case and lower case. Graffiti 2 includes symbols made with a single stroke and symbols made with multiple strokes.

For multi-stroke characters, a temporary character is displayed after the first stroke, to show that the stroke was recognized. For example, after the first vertical stroke of “t”, a temporary “l” is shown. There is a limited time window, during which the second stroke must be drawn. Otherwise the temporary stroke is recorded.

The text input area is divided into two parts, one for writing lowercase letters and one for writing numbers. The small marks at the top and bottom of the text input area define the division line. To have your pda phone recognize letters and numbers, you must begin letter strokes on the left side, and number strokes on the right side of the text input area. Uppercase letters are formed by writing across the division line.
