“Learn my handwriting” is used to help your MessagePad
learn your handwriting. If this option is selected (checked),
the MessagePad accumulates information about your writing
style based on whether recognition was correct or not. The
letter forms in Letter Shapes will change as the MessagePad
learns how you write. The accuracy of recognition will
improve if your handwriting is consistent. If “Learn my
handwriting” is not checked, the MessagePad will not learn
your handwriting and recognition will be the same as when
you first started to use your MessagePad.
Letter Shapes
This option only appears if you selected Cursive as your
writing style. You use Letter Shapes to help the MessagePad
improve handwriting recognition by identifying letter shapes
you don’t use.
Your settings do not prevent the MessagePad from
recognizing the letters if you write them in other ways. As
the MessagePad learns to recognize your handwriting, it
changes the Letter Shapes settings automatically.

Writing and Drawing
Handwriting Settings
This option only appears if you selected Cursive as your
writing style. Use this to add letter-by-letter recognition to
the MessagePad and to indicate whether you want the
MessagePad to learn your handwriting.
Letter-by-letter recognition controls the MessagePad’s ability
to recognize text that is not in its dictionary. If a word is not
in the dictionary, the MessagePad uses letter-by-letter
recognition to interpret the word. If letter-by-letter
recognition is turned off (not checked) and the word is not
found in the dictionary, the MessagePad displays the word
closest from the dictionary.
For example, if you wrote the word “snapko,” the
MessagePad would only be able to recognize that word if
letter-by-letter recognition is selected, since “snapko” is not
in the dictionary.
“Letter-by-letter in fields” controls recognition in the Name
File and in fields in other applications. “Letter-by-letter in
notes” controls recognition in the Notepad. Some people get
good results if they turn letter-by-letter recognition off in
notes but on in fields. Fields typically have more unusual
words in them and it’s usually better to have letter-by-letter
turned on. Since most words in the Notepad are words
found in the dictionary, it is sometimes better not to select
“Letter-by-letter in notes.”
