[NTLK] Should I Lie About My Handwriting?

[Greg Hankins]

Hi All!

I have reminded myself, using NTLK and my MP2000 manual, that, since I have told it that I print, rather than using cursive, my Newton is not learning my handwriting.

I have read that recognition is better when printing-and I have no other choice, having abandoned cursive years ago. But should I lie to my Newton and have it learn my non-cursive handwriting?

I ask, because a couple of letterforms cause persistent problems. For example, my lowercase "r" looks like a "v." And, even though "evvov" is not a word, my Newton is happy to pretend that it is.

My "a" is not a ball and stick, but the sort of "a" one finds in Helvetica. The Newton often Is not sure what to make of that.

Would switching to cursive help?
