appendix b CHARACTER RECOGNIZER Using Character Recognizer, you can write characters directly on your iPAQ H3000 screen with your stylus, just as you would on a piece of paper. The characters you write are translated into typed text. Use Character Recognizer anywhere you want to enter text, for example, to write a note or to fill in fields in a dialog box. The default writing mode for Character Recognizer is lowercase (Jot-compatible) mode. In this mode, you write characters in lowercase.
The Character 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. Tap to select an input method or change options. The letter you write is converted to typed text that appears on the screen.
The following 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.
