Title: handwriting Qwikscript how-to
Post by: white_angelbreath on May 09, 2004, 05:19:33 am

I just downloaded a Quickscript software but I do not know how to use it.
Is there a manual or instruction guide you can spare to me?

Qwikscript is based on Quikwriting.  Have a look here for some information:

I\'ve been using it for a little over a month now and it\'s getting more comfortable.  At first, it was very confusing but I\'m getting to know where the letters are located.  The only problem is that some letters like r are difficult for me - it might be my line of sight where I think I\'ve come down far enough before entering the home zone but instead I end up making an n.   (Tonight I\'m on my MI keyboard so any typeos are not due to Quikscript.)

At least now I know it\'s not just me. When I try to write fast many of my r\'s and f\'s turn out as n\'s.

My problem is being left handed I cant see what the letters in the bottom left corner are without lifting my stylus.
Probably go away once I get used to the layout. The instructions on http://mrl.nyu.edu/projects/quikwriting/Qu...Quikwrite2.html (http://mrl.nyu.edu/projects/quikwriting/Quikwrite2.html) were the most helpful for me in actually being able to write anything with this.

Now if only we had dasher for the C760 - the 5500 versino is too small to read quickly for my tired eyes.

What would be really nice is to have a word select option like the handwriting method does.

This would speed things up a whole lot and make inputting repeated words much faster.
