ENTERING DATA IN YOUR SMARTPHONE 232Entering Data Using Graffiti You can use Graffiti writing commands to create letters,numbers, punctuation, and symbols. The Graffiti writing strokesinclude all letters, numbers, and symbols found on a standardkeyboard. Writing Graffiti CharactersWith only a few minutes of practice, you’ll find it easy to enteraccurate text and numbers using Graffiti writing strokes. Followthese guidelines to learn and use Graffiti writing strokessuccessfully: • To achieve 100% accuracy, practice drawing characters exactly as they appear in the tables later in this chapter.• The heavy dot on each shape indicates where to start thestroke. Some characters have similar shapes, but differentstarting and ending points. Always start the stroke at theheavy dot. (Do not draw the heavy dot; it is there only as aguideline.) • Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift thestylus from the Graffiti writing area, your Smartphonerecognizes and displays the text character immediately. TheGraffiti writing strokes for letters closely resemble uppercaseletters of the standard English alphabet, and many Graffitistrokes are part of their standard alphabet equivalents.
24 ENTERING DATA IN YOUR SMARTPHONETo write Graffiti letters:1. Tap the screen where you want towrite text, for example, on a linenext to a time in the Date Book. 2. Use the tables on the page xx to findthe stroke shape for the letter youwant to write. For example, the strokeshown below creates the letter n. You use the same shape to create boththe uppercase and lowercase versionof a letter.Write letters hereDivision marksWrite numbers hereA blinking cursor appearson the screen before youcan begin writing text. Lift stylus here.Start stroke at heavy dot.• The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts, one forwriting letters and one for writing numbers. The small marks atthe top and bottom of the Graffiti writing area indicate the twoareas. To have your Smartphone recognize characters andnumbers, you must begin character strokes on the left side,and number strokes on the right side of the Graffiti writingarea.
ENTERING DATA IN YOUR SMARTPHONE 2523. Position the stylus in the left hand side of the Graffiti writingarea. 4. Start your stroke at the heavy dot, and draw the stroke shapeas it appears in the tables.5. Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.Your Smartphone recognizes your stroke immediately anddisplays the letter at the insertion point onscreen. As soon asyou lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke forthe next character you want to write.Graffiti TipsWhen using Graffiti writing, keep the following tips in mind:• For greater accuracy, draw letters with large strokes; strokesthat nearly fill the Graffiti writing area are easily interpreted. • To delete characters, set the insertion point to the right of thecharacter you want to delete, and draw the Backspace stroke(a line from right to left) in the Graffiti writing area.• Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can produce errors.• Do not write at a slant. Keep vertical strokes should be parallelto the sides of the Graffiti writing area.• When letters and numbers can be written using two differentstrokes, use the one that’s easiest for you. • Press firmly.

ENTERING DATA IN YOUR SMARTPHONE 272Writing Capital LettersGraffiti writing automatically capitalizes the first letter of a newrecord or sentence. To write additional capital letters, you mustfirst write a command to shift to Caps mode— just as you pressthe Shift key on a keyboard—and then write the desiredcharacter stroke.To write capital letters:1. Choose from the following options:• To enter a single capital letter, write the Shift stroke. Thenwrite the character stroke.
