 | TG50 & Graffiti Anywhere
I've been using my new TG50 since last week, going back and forth between the keyboard and using GA. I'm a long-time graffiti user but couldn't resist the TG50 (don't ask me why).
Anyway, the only major annoyance I have is when I am using GA. Whenever I try to do a graffiti "caps shift" (vertical stroke from bottom to top), it always triggers the graffiti help screen instead of giving me caps mode.
Any ideas how to get around this problem?

| Use a really short (and I mean short) vertical stroke. It took awhile to get the technique down but it works most of the time, (except when I accidentaly tap the screen to hard and create symbols rather than letters or numbers or when I accidentaly stroke part of my letters in the number area and don't get anything). | |

| You might think about trying out Jot. I know I konw its not free but the virtual graffiti is seamless. Download a demo and try it out. | |

| genglish, I totally agree with you and in fact was going to make a similar post. I noticed you can't turn off the graffiti stroke shortcut feature and it is SO annoying. I set mine to brightness adjustment but its really hard to capitalize a letter.
Other annoying part of Graffiti Anywhere is that it does not allow for punctuation. neither does newpen. I wonder why someone can't just implement punctuation, is it so hard? | |

| Guys Jot does punctuation and lets you use Graffiti instead of Jot if you want. Just an FYI | |

| My suggestion to do caps using GA is doing a short stroke up from the bottom of the screen. that work well for me.

| GA lets me do punctuation exactly as I would do it in the graffiti area. Just a dot and then the stroke for whatever symbol you want. A period is a double tap. GA handles this fine for me. | |

| Here's my tip for CAPS on Graffiti Anywhere-- start a little higher on the screen when you do the caps upstroke. I kept getting the same problem you are having, until I realized that I had to do the caps upstroke very high on the screen instead of in the middle of the screen. Works perfectly now.
I'm a graffiti user, too, and Graffiti Anywhere has made the TG50 a much better device for me. | |

| Great! The "short" and "top of the screen" tips seem to have solved my problems. I can pretty consistently get the caps shift to work now.
Thanks to all.

| about making punctuation, i figure that you have to use a "comma" style stroke.
For making shift, i use a upward stroke which is 2 input line long. I just figure out making the shift stroke on the top just help you to limit your stroke length.
BTW, i set the upward graffiti stroke to be toggle backlit, the i don't have to click the stupid ok to get back to my doc...
