ENTERING DATA IN YOUR SMARTPHONE 23

Entering Data Using Graffiti

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

With only a few minutes of practice, you’ll find it easy to enter

accurate text and numbers using Graffiti writing strokes. Follow

these guidelines to learn and use Graffiti writing strokes

successfully:

• To achieve 100% accuracy, practice

drawing characters exactly as they

appear in the tables later in this

chapter.

• The heavy dot on each shape indicates where to start the

stroke. Some characters have similar shapes, but different

starting and ending points. Always start the stroke at the

heavy dot. (Do not draw the heavy dot; it is there only as a

guideline.)

• Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the

stylus from the Graffiti writing area, your Smartphone

recognizes and displays the text character immediately. The

Graffiti writing strokes for letters closely resemble uppercase

letters of the standard English alphabet, and many Graffiti

strokes are part of their standard alphabet equivalents.
