Appendix A: Letter Recognizer

Using Letter Recognizer, you can write characters directly on your SX56 screen with your stylus, just as you would on a piece of
paper. The characters you write are translated into typed text. Use Letter Recognizer anywhere you want to enter text. For
example, you may want to write a note or to fill in fields in a dialog box.

The default writing mode for Letter Recognizer
is lowercase (Jot-compatible) mode. In this
mode, you write characters in lowercase. The
chart at the end of this appendix contains
examples of how to write characters in lowercase
mode. You can also choose to write in uppercase
(Graffiti-compatible) mode. In this mode, you
write characters in uppercase. If you prefer to
write in uppercase mode, tap Uppercase Mode
in Options on the input method menu. Whether a
letter appears in uppercase or lowercase when it
is converted to typed text depends on where in
the input panel you write it, not on the mode you
have selected.
The Letter Recognizer input panel is divided into
three writing areas. Letters written in the left area
(labeled ABC) creates uppercase letters, and
letters written in the middle area (labeled abc)
creates lowercase letters. Use the right area
(labeled 123) for writing numbers, symbols,
special characters, and punctuation.
The chart is a partial display of the characters you
can write while in lowercase mode (the dot on
each character is the starting point for writing).
Remember that even though you write a letter in
its lowercase form, the case of the text that is
displayed depends on where you write the letter.
For example, if you write a lowercase "a" in the
ABC area, an uppercase "A" is displayed on the
screen.
