Handwriting
Natural handwriting is the recognition system that eBookMan
uses to allow data entry through writing. It makes character
input simple, accurate and fast by supporting more than one
way to write most characters. All writing must be entered in the
appropriate section of the Handwriting area, located at the cen-
ter of the Control Pad.
The Handwriting area is divided into the Letter input area,
Number input area and Punctuation input area. Write letters in
the Letter input area ( ), punctuation in the Punctuation input
area ( ), and numbers in the Number input area ( ).
Handwriting Guide
The Handwriting Guide shows the acceptable stroke or strokes
for each character. You can write each character in any of the
ways shown. The natural handwriting system recognizes these
variations.
