The cursive HWR engine "learns" your handwriting and AFAIR it was written by
the developers from Paragraph. Utilities such as Corrector+ assist whenever
it consistently mistakes your intended text for something else. HTH

Subject: [NTLK] How does Newton "learn"?

The question has been posed before, but so far I'm unable to find a
definitive answer:

By what process does the Newton "learn" handwriting? Obviously, you
have to check the "learn my handwriting" box. From what I've read,
only the ParaGraph (cursive) recognizer will learn handwriting -
correct me if I'm wrong...

But here's the question - are there only certain circumstances in which
Newton will learn?

For example, if I write a word with one incorrect letter, and write
over it to correct the letter, has Newton "learned" then?

Does it only learn if I use the Corrector? Does it learn no matter
what?

   Is "learning" simply another way of saying "difficult words are added
to the Personal Word List" thereby making the Newton understand them in
the future?

What is the best process to adopt in order to successfully teach my
Newton when I write unrecognized words?
