Okay Sieghard, do tell! How on Earth did you get a colon? Each time I try, it gives me a period right after I touch the screen the second time.
thanks, Cara :) On Sep 22, 2013, at 3:47 AM, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote: Hello, I am quite intriqued by the new handwriting feature and have been practicing a bit. I have a feeling that if a person knows how to write which I do since I lost my sight at the age of almost 17, this could become a rather efficient method of text input. I actually don’t understand why Apple does not make this available to all iPhone users instead of restricting it to Voiceover users. They could have made Handwriting a keyboard choice so to speak. This way if you added the “Handwriting” keyboard to your list of keyboards, one could have simply tapped on the keyboard button at the bottom to switch to it, but maybe they have their reasons. Anyhow, I would like to know if somebody has figured out how to best insert a comma. I know of course I have to switch to the punctuation area and I have managed to figure out how to do most commonly used symbols like a period, semicolon, colon, question mark, exclamation mark, Dollar sign, @ symbol, underscore etc. I am still having a bit of trouble with a dash, if you draw a horizontal line across it always interprets it as an underscore. I don’t think I managed to get a comma done more than once and I have no idea how I did it. If I simply draw a line down the screen it inserts this as a “vertical line”, if I give the line a bit of a curve it usually inserts a right parenthesis. Any explanations are appreciated.
