Getting started

We all write differently. I write in a particularly ineligible fashion. And the built in handwriting which comes with Palm devices is good, but it not you. Good news is, how poorly I write is totally irrelevant, and there is a tool, “Teal Script” by Teal Point which allows you to enter PDA text exactly as you like, create short cuts for making multiple words etc.

The Basics:

• Order Teal Script online from Teal Point


• Install the tool (down load file, run installation program, synchronize your PDA.

Complete initial set up of the tool

• Choose TealScript icon from your applications (House button) screen)


• Coose Preferences at top left of screen


• Chooses Write Anywhere


• Check the Write anywhere on screen box and click OK

Begin training Teal Script to recognize your handwriting

• Open your applications screen by pressing on the House button on your PDA


• Find the Teal Script icon and press it to open


• Use the Train Profile feature.


• After the initial training, use the Edit Stroke Entries to fine tune letters and numbers. Return here often whenever a character is not easily recognized.

See the tip (look at right side of this screen) for cleaning up a bunch of clutter which will probably confuse you, and will definitely confuse your PDA.
