Hi Kelly,
You can get the quotation marks by doing two commas side by side quickly and it works. The and sign can be done easily by doing something that looks like the key of G in music and it thinks it's the ampersand. The asterisk works well if you do it the same way as if you were doing it on paper, sort of a cross mixed in with an X. Ron & Danvers Falling down is part of LIFE... Getting back up is LIVING...

I had vision for a long time and have been able to get every single symbol written with the exception of a comm and apostrophe. lol I got quoteation marks a few times but am not sure what I did for that. lol I can draw all the other symbols, even an & sign with little difficulty. I am enjoying this feature. It is nice being able to write again and knowing that I remember even if it is with my fingers. lol Kellie, guide Loki and retired July From: Dionesque <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2013 7:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Handwriting - how to get a comma An easy way to write a comma is to write a dot and than swipe down with 2 fingers until VO says comme. Same way you can reach the dash by drawing an underscore and swiping down with 2 fingers. This is the easiest way to achieve the letters or punctuation marks one is experiencing difficulties with.

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.
