Well, the simplest way to avoid Graffiti 2 from recognizing your “l” and space as a “t” would be to simply uncheck the option in the Prefs application.

Go into the Prefs application. Select Graffiti 2. Select the character “t”.

Uncheck the box that says “Use this form of ‘t’ ” which indicates the first stroke as being horizontal from left to right and then a vertical stroke from top to bottom to make into a cross.

So, in order to write a ‘t’ after the box is unchecked, you now have to make the vertical stroke first and then the horizontal left to right stroke. This may take a bit of practice to get used to it, but if you find that you get a lot of the ‘l’ and space being incorrectly recognized as ‘t’s you may find this worth the hassle.

Of course, you can always try to install Graffiti 1 in your Palm. More info in this posting which also discuss Graffiti enhancement software that can allow you to customize how your strokes are recognized in the Palm.

As well, you can consider getting a virtual keyboard where you can write simply by tapping on the virtual keyboard in the screen. I know that the Palm has its own virtual keyboard, but it is horrible at detecting my taps. More info on virtual keyboards found here

Thanks for reading and for your comments. Hopes these ideas help.

Thanks for your website. My Z72 battery went dead last week, but was saved after reading your writing on ‘reseting the batter’.

I have one annoying problem when using my Z72. Whenever I write the word ‘will’, the computer would change the word to ‘wilt’ because of the space following the word (i.e. changing the ‘l’ to ‘t’ after the last stroke). I know I can wait a few second before I stoke the space, but I wonder if there is any way to get around it?

Well, I have always liked the graffiti 1 more.

Cheers,
Sirius

Unfortunately, the Graffiti 2 app is only available on select Palm handhelds. My first PalmOne handheld being the z71, Graffiti 2 was helpful in my transition from Graffiti 1. My T|T3 doesn’t come with such an app, altho i have beamed it over from my z71.

May also wanna mention that you can modify some G2 settings in Prefs as emphasis even though it’s Prefs has its own section

Thanks for mentioning that. I have now uploaded the Graffiti 2 Demo files for download from the free hosting servers at MyFilestash.com.

Yes I am aware of it. Thanks for mentioning it. I think I have mentioned that in another posting, possibly the Memo Pad application where I did some discussion on G2 and text entry.

Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to share all the great info.

Unfortunately I was unable to get the Graffiti 2 files you posted - I get the following message:

Hmm. That’s strange. It’s uploaded to MyFileStash as it’s showing. Maybe because the extension is something that is not supported (many hosts only allow certain file formats to be hosted). Anyway, I’ve uploaded it now to MyFileHut.com and it seems to work fine.

Thanks for advising me of this problem.
