capital letters hack

[tcugrilla]

there is a hack for the palm os that i loved that is missing for the pocketpc. by simply making a letter in the area between letters and numbers you could make a capital letter. i believe it was called midcaphack, but am not sure. is there such a program for the pocketpc?

i had that same program on my visor deluxe and it was great. i was just thinking about that program for the pocket pc. we're on the same brainwave dude!

If you use the "Letter Recognizer" input panel instead of "block recognizer", there's an area for capital letters, lower-case, and numbers. That might do what you're looking for without an added program.

Interestingly, Letter Recognizer in PPC 2000 supported a Graffiti-like mode, in which case it would have been exactly what you wanted. But too many people complained about the three areas, so Block Recognizer only has two. ;)

Just note that Letter Recognizer, while it has three areas, will force you to not use Graffiti but rather standard lowercase characters.

But, isn't the effort to cross the letter-number border the same as using a third input area?

As for me, it's easier to use the Letter Recognizer instead. Just remember to dot your I's and cross your T's. I mean, come on. You spent about a month to perfect Graffiti, why not spend a few days to re-learn natural handwriting?

Actually, I thought the letter recognizer recognized the Graffiti 't'...

There's actually some elements of Graffiti that I like because I can do them quicker than actual handwriting. Like the letter 'a' for example. Since I don't do any "real" writing anymore, using the substitute letters wasn't really a problem for me...

I used Grafitti for a couple of years on a Palm before switching to Letter Reconizer on PPC. I never found it had to transition to LR from Grafitti. And, when I normally write, I only write in capital letters. While using Grafitti, I found that there were a few ways to write letters that were not documented. Sometimes it made it easier for me.

The only problem I ever had (besides with symbols) was with remembering to write the letter "v" backwards. ;)
