    CP50 Mobile Computer Reference Manual 1.5.3. HANDWRITING RECOGNITION Onscreen text input doesn’t necessarily rely on onscreen keyboard. “Handwriting Recognition” can also get the job done. “Handwriting Recognition” is an input method that interprets and converts user’s handwriting received through touchscreen to text.
  • Page 44 Chapter 1 Use Mobile Computer BLOCK RECOGNIZER Also known as “Graffiti”, a writing system used on Palm O.S.-based PDAs. It recognizes handwriting by the particular “neography” that relies on user drawing an uppercase letter with a single stroke. The name comes from the feature of its drawing area divided to two blocks to admit each letters-drawing and numbers-drawing.
  • Page 45: Edit Text

    CP50 Mobile Computer Reference Manual LETTER RECOGNIZER “Letter Recognizer” presents a writing pad divided in three areas. Each respectively detects uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers/symbols/punctuations. To enter text: Write letters, numbers, and numbers/symbols in their respective areas as desired. Letter Recognizer then converts them to typed text.
