Tips for getting good recognition: 1. Write neatly. 2. Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line.

For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Zoom menu. 4. Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the Pocket PC can easily tell where words begin and end. 5. Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted. 6. If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a "3" to an "8") after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.
