Entering data into your Sony CLIE Handheld Using Graffiti® writing to enter data This section explains the procedures for creating letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols, as well as teaching 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. There are four basic concepts for success with Graffiti writing: • 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 can achieve 100% accuracy. Graffiti writing examples: A, B, C, D, and E • 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 (you should not create the heavy dot; it is only there to show you where to begin the stroke). • Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus from the Graffiti writing area, your CLIE 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 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 separate the two areas. Write letters here Write numbers here Division marks Chapter1 Basic operations of your Sony CLIE Handheld 13
