| 119 0 0 Using Character Recognizer, you can write characters directly on your HP Jornada 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 chart at the end of this appendix contains examples of how to write characters in lowercase mode. You can also choose to write in uppercase (Graffiti- compatible) mode. In this mode, you write characters in uppercase. If you prefer to write in uppercase mode, tap Uppercase Mode in Options on the input method menu. Whether a letter appears in uppercase or lowercase when it is converted to typed text depends on where in the Input panel you write it, not on the mode you have selected. The Character Recognizer Input panel is divided into three writing areas. Letters written in the left area (labeled ABC) create uppercase letters, and letters written in the middle area (labeled abc) create lowercase letters. Use the right area (labeled 123) for writing numbers, symbols, special characters, and punctuation.
120 | HP Jornada 520 Series User’s Guide 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.
