Using Graffiti writing to enter data
You can use Graffiti writing commands to create letters, numbers,
punctuation, and symbols. The Graffiti writing strokes include all letters,
numbers, and symbols found on a standard keyboard.

Writing Graffiti characters

Most people find they can enter text quickly and accurately with only
minutes of practice. Graffiti writing includes any character you can type on
a standard keyboard. The Graffiti strokes closely resemble the uppercase
letters of the regular alphabet, which makes Graffiti writing easy to learn.
There are four basic concepts for success with Graffiti writing:
• 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 archive
100% 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 only there to show you where to begin the stroke).
• Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus
from the Graffiti writing area, your Sony handheld recognizes and
displays the text character immediately. To accomplish single strokes,
some Graffiti strokes are portions of the regular alphabet equivalents.
• The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts: one for writing the
letters of the alphabet and one for writing numbers. The small marks at
the top and bottom of the Graffiti writing area indicate the two areas.
