Graffiti 2 tips
When using Graffiti 2 writing, keep the following tips in mind:
• For greater accuracy, draw letters with large strokes; strokes that
nearly fill the text input area are easily interpreted.
• To delete characters, set the insertion point to the right of the
character you want to delete, and draw the Backspace stroke (a line
from right to left) in the text input area.
• Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can produce errors.
• Do not write at a slant. Keep vertical strokes parallel to the sides of
the text input area.
• When letters and numbers can be written using two different
strokes, use the easiest one for you.
• Press firmly.
