hi!

i know, a dumb question:
is there somewhere a picture that describes how the grafitti in pocket pc 2002 works? because there are some slight differences to the grafitti of palm, especially the character "Y" is causing me a lot of trouble...

thanks a lot in advance!

Hmm, I've never had trouble writing y's with the Block Recognizer. But if you want help, click the little question mark in the corner of the Block Recognizer SIP.

I haven't seen a chart for it, but Y is one of the easiest to do - start with a v then draw a line down. My worst one is D - ya'd think that would be easy, but I keep getting the combined ce.

hmm on palm a Y is done like a greek gamma, and that does not work any more on the pocket PC; but thanks a lot for the tip, the demo mode helps a lot, i just did not try a usual handwriting-y :D

i also had this problem for a while; but either you look at the demo mode where it is explained how to write a D (its defferent from palm!); or alternatively you do it as follows (i found this out by luck, and its faster):

I\
I \
I / <----- CORNER
I/

take care that the "bow" of the D is NOT round but instead has a "corner"; then it is nearly never recognized as a "ce".

hope that helps!
