Some tips for getting good recognition are listed below: 
• Write neatly. 
• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the 
cross of the “t” and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not 
confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the 
line. 
• For better recognition, use the Tools menu to increase the zoom level 
to 300%. 
• Write the letters of a word close together and leave big gaps between 
words.

• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as 
accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted. 
• If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to 
an “8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add 
will not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.  
Drawing on the Screen 
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. 
The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you 
select items and how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings 
can be resized, while writing cannot. 
To create a drawing 
• Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box 
appears. Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box 
become part of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross three 
ruled lines will be treated as writing.

Recording Formats 
Your hp Jornada supports several formats for voice notes. The formats vary 
in both the quality of the recording and the size of the sound file. When 
selecting a recording format, you should consider the quality you need as 
well as how much storage memory the recording will use on your hp 
Jornada. 
Not all recording formats are compatible with other software or computers. 
If you will share your recordings with others or transfer a recording to your 
desktop PC, be sure to choose a recording format that is supported by the 
software used to play recordings on the other computer.  
The PCM format offers the highest quality recording, and is compatible 
with all hp Jornada models, other Windows-powered mobile devices, and
