Writing Graffiti Letters
Most people find they can enter text quickly and accurately with only
minutes of practice. The Graffiti alphabet includes any character you
can type on a standard keyboard. The Graffiti strokes closely resemble
those of the regular alphabet which makes it quick and easy to learn.
For example, the following Graffiti strokes are portions of the regular
alphabet equivalents.
There are four basic concepts for success with writing Graffiti characters:
■
If you draw the character shape exactly as shown in the tables later
in this chapter (like the shapes shown in the following diagram),
you achieve 100% accuracy.
■
The heavy dot on each shape shows where to begin the stroke.
Certain characters have similar shapes, but different beginning
and end points. Always begin the stroke at the heavy dot.
■
Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the
stylus from the Graffiti writing area, your WorkPad recognizes
and displays the text character immediately.
■
The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts: one for writing
the letters of the alphabet and one for writing numbers. The small
marks at the top and bottom of the Graffiti writing area indicate
the two areas.
