Using Graffiti® writing to enter data
This section describes the procedures for creating letters, numbers,
punctuation, and symbols, and teaches you some Graffiti® tips and tricks.
What is Graffiti writing?
Most people find they can enter text quickly and accurately with only
minutes of practice. Graffiti writing includes any character you can type on a
standard keyboard. The Graffiti strokes closely resemble the uppercase
letters of the regular alphabet, which makes Graffiti writing easy to learn.
There are four basic concepts for success with Graffiti writing:
•If you draw the character shape exactly as shown in the Writing Graffiti
alphabet table in this chapter and as shown below, you can achieve 100%
accuracy.
•The heavy dot on each shape shows where to begin the stroke. Certain
characters have similar shapes, but different beginning and end points.
Always begin the stroke at the heavy dot (you should not create the heavy
dot; it is only there to show you where to begin the stroke).
•Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus from
the Graffiti writing area, your CLIÉ handheld recognizes and displays the
text character immediately.
To allow you to write an entire character with a single stroke, some
Graffiti strokes are portions of the regular alphabet equivalents.
•
The on-screen Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts: one for
writing the letters of the alphabet and one for writing numbers. The small
marks at the top and bottom of the Graffiti writing area separate the two
areas.
Graffiti writing examples:
A, B, C, D, and E

Writing Graffiti letters
1Tap where you want your text to go.
Note
You need to tap above the Graffiti writing area, and you must see a flashing cursor
before you write the text.
2Use the tables on the following pages to find the stroke
shape for the letter you want to create. For example, the
stroke shown below creates the letter n.
Note
There are two different stroke shapes available for some letters. For these letters,
choose the one thats easiest for you.
As you will see later, you use the same shape to create both the upper
case and lower case version of a letter.
3Position the stylus in the left-hand side of the Graffiti writing
area.
4Start your stroke at the heavy dot and draw the stroke shape
as it appears in the tables.
5Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
That is all there is to it. When you lift the stylus from the screen, your
CLIÉ handheld recognizes your stroke immediately and prints the letter
at the insertion point on the screen.
As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for
the next character you want to write.

Note
You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti writing area. If you do not
make Graffiti strokes in the Graffiti writing area, your CLIÉ handheld will not
recognize them as text characters.
Tips
•Accuracy improves when you write large characters. You should draw strokes that
nearly fill the Graffiti writing area.
•To delete characters, simply set the insertion point to the right of the character you
want to delete and make the backspace stroke (a line from right to left) in the Graffiti
writing area.
•Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can generate recognition errors.
•Do not write on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to the sides of the Graffiti
writing area.
•Press firmly.
To display the Graffiti on-screen help
Drag the stylus from the bottom of the writing area to the top of the screen. Graffiti
Help opens a series of screens that show the complete Graffiti character set.

To write capital letters
If you shift to caps, you can make capital letters with the same stroke shapes
as the basic alphabet characters.
•To draw the first letter of a word as a capital letter
Use the Caps Shift stroke 
 .
To return to the lowercase, use the Backspace stroke 
 .
Note
When you create a new sentence or a new record (by tapping New or a blank line),
the first letter is automatically capitalized.
•To enter only capital letters (Caps Lock)
Use the Caps Lock stroke
  .
To return to the lowercase, use the Caps Shift stroke  
.
