Input Methods: Letter, Numbers, Symbols
The PDA includes four methods for character input: Block Recognizer, Keyboard, Letter Recognizer, and
Transcriber.
In the Keyboard method, the user selects a text field in display, and then selects a character at a time from a
virtual keyboard. Using the keyboard involves familiar concepts that will enable quick and accurate
entries.
In the other three methods, the stylus is used to write the desired input directly onto the screen, and each
requires some adaptation of user skills. Of these, the Transcriber is probably the most efficient and easiest
to use.
