Using Graffiti 2 - Samsung SGH-I530 Manual

Using Graffiti 2

In this section you learn the procedures for creating
letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols, as well as
some Graffiti 2 tips and tricks.
Most people find they can enter text quickly and
accurately with only minutes of practice. Graffiti 2
includes any character you can type on a standard
keyboard. The Graffiti 2 characters closely resemble the
letters of the regular alphabet, which makes Graffiti 2
easy to learn. Graffiti 2 is different from the writing
software found on earlier Palm phones. For example,
some characters are formed using a single stroke while
others are formed with more than one stroke.
When Graffiti 2 is enabled, the LCD screen of your PDA
phone works as the Graffiti 2 area.
There are four basic concepts for success with Graffiti 2:
• 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 close to 100 percent
accuracy.
• 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 there only to show you where to begin the
stroke.
