1 Writing and Drawing
`
`This chapter teaches you how best to write and draw on the MessagePad 2100. There
`are several methods and tools you can use to enhance recognition, correct mistakes,
`and manipulate text and drawings. Go through the chapter to find the best tools for
`your needs.
`
`If you want to go through a brief tutorial about writing, you can use the Handwriting
`Instructor. To access this, tap Extras E to open the Extras Drawer, tap the folder tab
`and in the list that appears, tap Setup. Then tap HW Instructor (cid:238).
`
`About recognition
`
`This section offers a general description of handwriting recognition used
`in the MessagePad and discusses some of the factors that may affect how well it
`recognizes your handwriting.
`
`When you write on your MessagePad, you write in normal printed or cursive
`characters, as well as numbers, punctuation, and gestures. Often you write English
`words, but not always.
`
`1
`
`Apple Inc. Exhibit 1028
`
`

`
`The MessagePad tries to detect when you are writing English words, abbreviations,
`and common expressions. It uses a large dictionary to aid in recognizing these things
`quickly and accurately. When you write things that are neither simple numbers nor
`English words (such as initials, dates, telephone numbers, file names, or serial
`numbers) your MessagePad tries to match the characters you write to the common
`patterns of these entries. If no such pattern can be discerned, your MessagePad does
`its best to recognize the characters individually.
`
`Generally speaking, your MessagePad is somewhat better at recognizing poorly
`formed characters if they are part of English words (or other items that are in
`the MessagePad’s dictionary). When you’re writing things such as license plate
`numbers, you’ll find that extra care in forming your characters neatly contributes to
`improved accuracy.
`
`Your MessagePad distinguishes characters and words in part by detecting pauses in
`your writing. It’s a good idea when writing to complete each character without
`pausing too long before it’s finished, and similarly to complete your words without
`pausing in the middle.
`
`Your MessagePad is also sensitive to the way your writing is spaced. In normal writing
`or text there is a clear difference between the amount of space separating letters
`within words and the amount of space separating words themselves. The more
`distinct and consistent you make this difference when you write on your MessagePad,
`the better recognition tends to be. A control in the Handwriting Recognition slip
`allows you to let your MessagePad know whether your writing tends to be widely
`spaced or more tightly crowded. Experimenting with this setting may result in
`improved accuracy.
`
`Generally, the MessagePad tends to deliver the best overall recognition accuracy if
`you select Printing as your handwriting style. This means you must print using
`separate letters only, taking care to lift the pen between characters when you write.
`
`If you write in cursive style (always joining letters) or mix cursive and printed styles,
`you should select Cursive as your handwriting style. Both styles are then recognized,
`even when mixed, although overall accuracy may decrease somewhat.

`
`Selecting a handwriting recognition setting
`
`In some areas of the MessagePad, such as the Notepad, you can choose a handwriting
`recognition setting to help your MessagePad interpret what you are writing or drawing.
`
`The Recognition button on the bottom left of the MessagePad screen controls the
`way the MessagePad recognizes your writing and drawing. Tap the Recognition
`button and a pop-up list appears.
`
`Tap your choice and the picture in the Recognition button changes to the
`new setting.

`
`Setting your handwriting recognition preferences
`
`Using the Recognition button, you can also set the way your MessagePad recognizes
`your handwriting.
`
`To set your handwriting preferences:
`1 Tap the Recognition button (cid:242) and, in the list that appears, tap Preferences.
`2 In the slip that appears, select the appropriate settings, then tap X to close the slip.
`The settings are discussed in further detail in the following pages.
`
`Tap this checkbox to
`set up your MessagePad
`for a guest user.
`
`Tap here to align the
`pen and screen.
`
`Handwriting styles: Printing and Cursive
`
`The MessagePad uses different methods to recognize printing and cursive writing. It
`is important that you choose one style and write that way consistently. When you
`change your writing style, you must also change the style setting in the Handwriting
`Recognition slip.
`
`Tap a button next to
`Printing or Cursive to
`select your writing style.
`
`Tap the pen on the
`slider and move it to
`set your word spacing.
`
`Tap here to set
`additional writing
`options or to revert to
`the default settings.

`
`Chapter 1
`
`Apple Inc. Exhibit 1028
`
`

`
`The highest overall recognition accuracy is achieved when you print, using separate,
`unconnected letters.
`m Select Printing as your style when you often write information that is not whole
`words or common abbreviations. If you select Printing, you must lift the pen
`between characters so that characters are separated and easily distinguishable
`from one another.
`
`m Select Cursive as your style when you join some or all of the characters you write.
`
`Word spacing
`
`When you write, your MessagePad must decide which groups of pen strokes to
`interpret as words, along with what words these strokes represent.
`
`You can improve your MessagePad’s ability to distinguish words by writing your
`characters somewhat close together and your words somewhat far apart. Use the
`slider in the Handwriting Recognition slip to set the distance between words. This
`helps your MessagePad recognize words more easily.
`
`Tips on word spacing
`m If your MessagePad tends to run your words or expressions together, try writing
`them farther apart.
`m If your MessagePad tends to break apart your words or expressions, try writing the
`characters closer together.
`m If you want to deliberately combine two separate words into one, write the second
`word extremely close to the first word.
`m If you want to separate a string of characters into two words, be sure to leave extra
`space between the two expressions.

`
`Other options
`
`You can set additional preferences by using the Options button. Tap the Options
`button and a list appears.
`
`The options you see depend on which writing style you selected—Printing or Cursive.
`Tap an option in the list and in the slip that appears, enter the appropriate
`information. The various options are described below.
`
`Text Editing Settings
`
`Use this to set the scaling of ink text, to specify whether to insert words at the caret,
`and to automatically add new words to your word list.
`
`m Ink Text Scaling—Tap the diamond u and, in the list that appears, tap No Scaling,
`75% Scaling, or 50% Scaling.
`m Insert new words at caret—If this box is checked, you can tap the pen on the
`screen to place the caret ^. Anything you write on the screen is then placed at
`the caret. If the checkbox is not checked, your writing appears wherever you write
`it on the screen.
`m Add new words to Personal Word List—If you selected Cursive as your handwriting
`style and this is checked, any words the MessagePad interprets that are not already
`in a word list (such as someone’s last name) are automatically placed in your
`personal word list.

`

`
`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 in the dictionary, the MessagePad displays the
`word closest to it in the dictionary.
`
`For example, if you wrote “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 information
`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 recognition 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.”
`
`“Learn my handwriting” tells your MessagePad to learn your handwriting. If this
`option is selected (checked), the MessagePad accumulates information about your
`writing style based on how you correct its recognition. The letter forms in Letter
`Shapes change as the MessagePad learns how you write. For people with consistent
`handwriting this option improves accuracy of recognition. If you find that recognition
`doesn’t improve or worsens, uncheck “Learn my handwriting,” then open the Letter
`Shapes panel and tap the “Use Default Settings” button. If “Learn my handwriting” is
`not checked, the MessagePad does not learn your handwriting and recognition stays
`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.
`
`Tap a letter or
`character to go to it.
`
`Tap the arrows to go
`to the next character.
`
`Tap a letter form once to select it. Tap it again to see how it’s written (notice the
`direction of the strokes). Then tap Often, Rarely, or Never to indicate how often you
`write the letter this way. (If more than one form is boxed, your choice affects all the
`forms in the box.)

`
`Tips for better handwriting recognition
`
`Writing is one of the most convenient ways to put information into your
`MessagePad. There are several tips to keep in mind while you are writing. Most of
`these tips are common sense, and help the MessagePad interpret your handwriting
`more accurately.
`m Write at an even pace.
`Don’t pause in the middle of a word. Finish what you write—don’t go back to a
`word to change it until you’ve finished writing it.
`m You don’t have to wait for a word to be recognized to continue writing.
`m Write simply and neatly.
`Avoid adding flourishes, like serifs, to your letters. Don’t write at too much of an
`angle or slant your characters. Close your letters properly.
`m Exaggerate the space between words, but not between letters.
`This helps your MessagePad determine when one word ends and another begins.
`
`Writing and Drawing 9
`
`Apple Inc. Exhibit 1028
`
`

`
`m Write capital letters and tall letters (such as t and l) so they are twice as tall as
`small letters.
`m Correct as you go.
`Write a few words, then wait while your MessagePad recognizes them. If there are
`mistakes, go back and fix them one at a time. If you don’t, your MessagePad
`assumes the word is correct and adjusts its recognition accordingly.
`m When dotting your i’s, keep the dot close to and above the i. Make sure it doesn’t
`look like an accent mark.
`m When you cross t’s, make sure you don’t cross any other tall letters. Make the
`cross horizontal, not slanted.
`m Don’t crowd words at the edge of the screen.
`m Make parentheses bigger than tall letters.
`m Keep punctuation close to the word. If your MessagePad turns a punctuation
`mark into a letter, you’re leaving too much space between the word and
`the punctuation.
`m Write colons and semicolons from top to bottom and make them half as tall as
`capital letters.
`m Write exclamation points the same size as tall letters.
`m Make slashes long and slanted.
`m If your MessagePad is having problems recognizing certain cursive letters or
`characters, go to Letter Shapes and identify the letter forms you use.

`^ Using the caret
`You can insert a word or phrase at a specific place on the screen using the caret. If
`you choose to enter text without a caret, the text is placed in the general area where
`you wrote.
`
`To use the caret, follow these steps:
`1 Tap the Recognition button (cid:242) and in the list that appears, tap i Preferences.
`2 Tap Options and in the list that appears, tap Text Editing Settings.
`
`3 Tap the checkbox next to “Insert new words at caret.”
`
`4 Go back to the item where you want to insert text.
`
`5 Tap the pen where you want the word(s) to go on the screen.
`A caret appears where the words will be placed.
`
`6 Write the new word or words anywhere on the screen. The text is placed at the caret.
`
`Using the on-screen keyboard
`
`The MessagePad has four on-screen keyboards: a typewriter keyboard and three
`types of numeric keyboards (for entering calculations, telephone numbers, and
`times/dates).
`

`

`
`Entering symbols and other special characters
`
`If you have selected Cursive as your handwriting style, you must use the keyboard to
`enter accent marks. Your MessagePad does not recognize handwritten accent marks
`on cursive letters.
`
`Display the typewriter keyboard on the screen. Then tap the Option key, or the
`Option key and then the Shift key, to see the available special characters (such as
`symbols, accent marks, and accented letters).
`
`Erasing text and drawings
`
`You erase text and pictures by “scrubbing them out” with a zig-zag line.
`m The zig-zag must go back and forth at least four times.
`m You can draw the zig-zag in any of four orientations.
`
`m Draw the zig-zag with sharp corners, making each segment about the same length.
`m Don’t draw the zig-zag so it loops or crosses over itself.
`m The zig-zag lines should go well above and below the word or drawing.

`
`

`
`Correcting a misinterpreted word
`
`There are several ways you can correct words that the MessagePad has misinterpreted.
`
`One letter corrections
`
`If only one letter is wrong, write the correct letter over the incorrect one. Correct
`only one letter at a time.
`
`Scrubbing
`
`You can scrub out the word to erase it and then rewrite the word. To scrub, draw
`a zig-zag line over the word or phrase. Make sure the line goes back and forth at
`least four strokes. For more information, see “Erasing Text and Drawings” earlier in
`this chapter.
`
`Using the pop-up list
`
`You can double-tap on a word. A list appears.
`
`“Try letters” appears if you select
`Cursive as your writing style.
`
`Corrector button.
`
`Keyboard button.
`
`Writing and Drawing 17
`

`
`

`
`m If the correct word is in the list, tap it.
`m If the correct word is not in the list, you can tap the Corrector button L or the
`Keyboard button _ to rewrite or retype the word. If you selected Cursive as
`your handwriting style, you can also tap “Try letters” to let the MessagePad try to
`recognize the word again, using letter-by-letter recognition.
`If you tap the Corrector button L in the list, you can write directly over a letter to
`change it. You can also tap once on the letter and in the list that appears, tap a
`choice—the lower- or uppercase version of the existing letter, Delete, or Insert. You
`can also tap a blank space to add punctuation marks or another word, as well as to
`delete or insert a space.
`
`Tap the arrows to move
`to the next character.
`
`If you tap the Keyboard button _ in the list, the on-screen keyboard appears. Tap
`out the word.
`
`If you tap “Try letters,” the MessagePad uses letter-by-letter recognition instead of its
`dictionary to interpret the word. It then displays its best guess. This option is useful if
`you don’t have letter-by-letter recognition turned on and you write a word that is not
`likely to be in the dictionary. It is also helpful if you write a word and the MessagePad
`guesses a number, or if you write an unusual combination of letters and numbers that
`isn’t recognized.

`
`Selecting text and drawings
`
`To select an item, hold the pen near the item until a heavy mark appears under the
`pen and the MessagePad makes a squeak. (If the pen sound effects in Prefs „ or the
`volume are turned off, you won’t hear the squeak.) Draw the mark over or around
`the item.
`
`To select words, draw the highlighting mark across them.
`
`To select text on more than one line, draw the highlighting mark from the beginning
`of the first word to the end of the last word.
`
`To select several whole lines of text, draw the highlighting mark vertically through the
`lines of text.
`
`To select lines in a shape, draw the highlighting mark along the lines.
`
`To select groups of text or drawings, circle them with the highlighting mark. The
`MessagePad puts a box around the things you select.
`
`To deselect an item, tap the pen anywhere outside the selection.

`
`Copying text or drawings
`
`You can duplicate a drawing or words and phrases. First you must select them. Hold
`the pen near the item until a heavy mark appears under the pen and draw the mark
`over or around the item.
`
`Then, copy the selected item by tapping twice inside the selection, keeping the pen
`down on the second tap. Then move the pen to move the duplicate away. You can
`also use this technique to copy items in the Clipboard.
`
`Moving text or drawings
`
`You can move words or drawings around on the screen. To move an item, you first
`have to select it. Hold the pen near the item until a heavy mark appears under the
`pen and draw the mark over or around the word.
`
`To move an item around on the screen, hold the pen inside the selection, and move
`the pen to where you want the item.

`
`To move an item to a location not currently on the screen:
`
`1 Go to the item and select it.
`
`2 Hold the pen inside the selection and move it to the top, left, or right of the screen.
`
`The item becomes a miniature box and moves to the Clipboard, a box on the right
`edge of the screen. If you selected text or ink text, words appear in the box; if you
`selected a drawing, you see the word “drawing” in the box.
`
`When you hold the pen on the
`selection, the entire item appears for
`you to move around on the screen.
`
`3 Go where you want to put the item.
`
`4 Hold the pen on the miniature item at the edge of the screen. The text appears and
`you can move it where you want. The item returns to its normal size.

`

`
`Modifying drawings
`
`You can modify the size or shape of a drawing in several ways.
`
`1 Select the drawing. Hold the pen on or near the drawing until a heavy mark appears
`under the pen and draw the highlighting mark over or around the drawing.
`
`2 Use the following techniques to modify the drawing:
`m Hold the pen on the dot where the two line segments meet, then move the pen.
`
`m Hold the pen on a corner or edge of the box and drag to stretch, shrink, or distort
`the picture. Grab a side or corner if you want to stretch or shrink the drawing
`horizontally or vertically.
`
`m Scrub out a line to erase it.
`
`Formatting text and drawings
`
`Your MessagePad provides easy ways to insert text, add punctuation, capitalize words,
`change margins, and create indents using tabs.
`
`Inserting space in text and joining words
`
`To insert space in text, draw carets and lines as shown in the following table. The top
`of the caret should line up with the baseline of the letters. Draw the caret in one
`stroke; do not use a separate stroke for each side of the caret.
`
`Writing and Drawing 23
`
`Apple Inc. Exhibit 1028
`
`

`
`It’s best if you aim the tip of the pen at the baseline. If you are joining words, the top
`of the caret should be at the baseline.
`
`Inserts space for a single letter.
`
`Joins two words.
`
`Inserts space for a word (the longer the line, the bigger the space).
`

`

`
`Adding punctuation
`
`Sometimes punctuation marks can be misinterpreted by your MessagePad. You can
`quickly add punctuation marks by using the caret or the on-screen keyboard.
`
`To add punctuation marks using the caret:
`
`1 Tap the pen where you want the punctuation mark to appear. A caret appears.
`
`2 Tap the caret.
`In the slip that appears, tap the punctuation mark you want.
`
`Tap here to add a
`return character.
`
`Tap here to delete a space.
`
`Tap here to add a space.
`
`Writing and Drawing 25
`
`Apple Inc. Exhibit 1028
`
`

`
`The punctuation mark you selected is placed at the caret.
`
`You can also use the punctuation slip to add returns and spaces to phrases and to
`delete characters.
`
`Capitalizing words
`
`To change how a word is capitalized, select the word by holding the pen near the
`item until a heavy mark appears under the pen (the MessagePad makes a squeak),
`and draw the mark over or around the word. Then draw a vertical line over the word
`as shown.
`
`Draw from bottom to top æ; becomes “Apple.”
`
`Draw from top to bottom ´; becomes “apple.”
`
`Draw from bottom to top æ; becomes “APPLE.”
`
`Draw from top to bottom ´; becomes “apple.”
`
`When you’re changing the initial capitalization of a word, make sure that there is no
`space selected before the word. If there is, the first letter of the word does not change.

`
`Changing paragraph margins
`
`1 Select the paragraph by drawing a selection box around it.
`Hold the pen near the item until a heavy mark appears under the pen (the
`MessagePad makes a squeak), and draw the mark over or around the paragraph.
`Note: Selecting text by drawing a line through it does not create a selection box. To
`change paragraph margins, you must select by drawing around the paragraph.
`
`2 Hold the pen on the left or right edge of the box and move it.
`
`Indenting and using tabs

`
`Using the word list
`
`When you write text or convert ink text, the MessagePad recognizes the words by
`comparing the words you write to the word list in the MessagePad. The MessagePad
`can recognize words more easily if they are in its word list. Words in the word list
`cannot exceed 30 characters.
`
`To see your personal word list, follow these steps:
`1 Tap the Keyboard button _.
`The keyboard appears. (If the Typewriter keyboard is not shown, tap the Keyboard
`button again and in the list that appears, tap Typewriter.)
`
`2 Tap the Dictionary button d in the lower-left corner of the on-screen keyboard.
`The word list appears.

`
`Viewing the word list
`
`You can review the words you’ve added to the word list, so that you can add more
`words or remove words you no longer use.
`
`To review the word list, tap a letter along the bottom of the list to go to that letter in
`the list. You can also tap the up and down arrows to go through the list.
`
`Adding or removing words in the list
`
`You should add words that you are likely to use often, and remove words that
`you don’t use often. A word list of more than a thousand words or so may cause
`memory problems.
`
`The capitalization you use when you add a word helps determines how it will be
`capitalized when the MessagePad recognizes the word the next time you write it. The
`MessagePad first tries to discern the capitalization you’ve used from your
`handwriting. If your capitalization isn’t clearly recognized, the MessagePad uses the
`preference for capitalization in the word list.
`
`To add a word to the list, tap it out on the keyboard, then tap Add.
`m If the word is not already in the MessagePad’s list, it is added to your personal
`word list.
`m If the word is in the MessagePad’s list, a message appears telling you that the word
`is already in the list. (It may be that you typed a capitalized or lowercase version of
`the word.) Tap Yes to add the word or No not to add it.
`
`To remove a word from the list, go to it in the list and tap it. Then tap Remove. The
`word is automatically deleted.

`
`Revising recently written words
`
`If you select Cursive as your handwriting style, words you write that are not in the
`MessagePad’s dictionary are placed in the Recently Written Words list. When there are
`many words in this list, a blinking star may appear at the top of the screen each time
`you write another word that’s not in the dictionary.
`
`The star is a reminder to evaluate the list and select the words you want to add to
`your personal word list.
`To see the list of recently written words, tap the Keyboard button _ and then tap
`the Dictionary button d.
`
`To add a word to your personal word list, tap the word and tap Add. To close the slip,
`tap X.

`
`Teaching the MessagePad 2100 to recognize abbreviations
`
`You can write an abbreviation or shortened form of a word and have the MessagePad
`recognize it as the expanded word. For instance, if you write the word “example” a
`lot, you can choose to write “ex” and have the MessagePad automatically recognize
`this as “example.” You can also use this method to interpret and expand a word with
`accented characters.
`
`You can expand a word in two ways. You can add it to your word list and expand it at
`the same time. Or, you can expand a word or expression that is already in your list.
`
`To expand a word that is not in your list, you first add the expression, then expand it.
`1 Tap the Keyboard button _ and then tap the Dictionary button d.
`Your personal word list appears.
`
`2 Tap the word or expression you want to expand on the keyboard, then tap Add.
`
`3 When a slip appears asking if you really want to add the word, tap Yes.
