Chapter1 Basic operations of your Sony CLIÉ Handheld

Entering data into your Sony CLIÉ Handheld

Using Graffiti® writing to enter data

This section describes the procedures for creating letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols, and teaches you some Graffiti

tips and tricks.

What is Graffiti writing?

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 upper case 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 Writing Graffiti alphabet table in this chapter, and as shown below, you can achieve 100% accuracy.

Graffiti writing examples: A, B, C, D, and E

• 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 CLIÉ handheld recognizes and displays the text character immediately.

To allow you to write an entire character with a single stroke, 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 separate the two areas.

Write letters here Write numbers here

Chapter1 Basic operations of your Sony CLIÉ Handheld

Division marks

Entering data into your Sony CLIÉ Handheld

Continued on next page

Writing Graffiti letters

Tap where you want your text to go.

Note

You need to tap above the Graffiti writing area, and you must see a flashing cursor before you write the text.

Use the tables on the following pages to find the stroke

shape for the letter you want to create. For example, the stroke shown below creates the letter "n".

Note

There are two different stroke shapes available for some letters. For these letters, choose the one that's easiest for you.

Lift stylus here

Start stroke at heavy dot

As you will see later, you use the same shape to create both the upper case and lower case version of a letter.

Chapter1 Basic operations of your Sony CLIÉ Handheld

Position the stylus in the left-hand side of the Graffiti writing area.

Position the stylus

Start your stroke at the heavy dot and draw the stroke shape as it appears in the tables.

Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.

That is all there is to it. When you lift the stylus from the screen, your CLIÉ handheld recognizes your stroke immediately and prints the letter at the insertion point on the screen.

As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for the next character you want to write.

Entering data into your Sony CLIÉ Handheld

Note

You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti writing area. If you do not make Graffiti strokes in the Graffiti writing area, your CLIÉ handheld does not recognize them as text characters.

Tips

• Accuracy improves when you write large characters. You should draw strokes that nearly fill the Graffiti writing area.

• To delete characters, simply set the insertion point to the right of the character you want to delete and make the backspace stroke (a line from right to left) in the Graffiti writing area.

• Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can generate recognition errors.

• Do not write on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to the sides of the Graffiti

writing area.

• Press firmly.

To display the Graffiti onscreen help

Drag the stylus from the bottom of the writing area to the top of the screen. Graffiti Help opens a series of screens that show the complete Graffiti character set.

Writing accented characters and non-English characters

To create accented characters, draw the stroke normally used to create the letter, followed by an accent stroke. Graffiti writing then adds the accent to the letter.

To enter “é,” for example, draw

à è ì ò ù á é í ó ú ´y

â ê î ô û ã õ ñ

ä ï ö ü ÿ å

To write non-English characters

You can write the following characters without any special punctuation or shifting:

ç æ

and then .

Note

You must write these non-English characters on the left side of the Graffiti writing area.
