Tips for getting good recognition:
ᮣ
Write neatly.
ᮣ
Write on the lines and draw descenders (e.g., the lower part of “g”)
below the line. Write the cross of the “t,” the dots of the “i” and “j,”
and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not confused with
the word above. Write periods and commas above the line.
ᮣ
For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the
Tools menu.
ᮣ
Write the letters of a word closely and leave large gaps between words
so that the device can easily tell where words begin and end.
Note: Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters
such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
