Using Graffiti® writing to enter data This section describes the procedures for creating letters, numbers, punctuations, and symbols, and teaches you some Graffiti® tips and tricks. What is Graffiti writing? Most people find they can enter text quickly and accurately with only minutes of practice. Graffiti writing includes any character you can type on a standard keyboard. The Graffiti strokes closely resemble the upper case letters of the regular alphabet, which makes Graffiti writing easy to learn. (Graffiti writing examples A, B, C, D, E) Entering characters with a single stroke Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus from the Graffiti writing area, your CLIÉ handheld recognizes and displays the text character immediately. To allow you to write an entire character with a single stroke, some Graffiti strokes are portions of the regular alphabet equivalents. The 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 from the dot. Lift stylus here Start stroke from dot Note You do not need to create the dot; it is only there to show you where to begin the stroke. Entering data on your Sony CLIÉ™ handheld 45
