You can select from two layouts: "calculator" or "dialing pad". Pressing the Silkypad numeric buttons instead of writing Graffiti strokes you can enter numbers 3 times faster. Holding a button down for a short period of time gives you a punctuation mark: @,#,$,%, etc. Now you don't need to keep in mind how to write them using Graffiti. ------- Writting But what is even more exciting, you can still write Graffiti numbers as you always did. How is it possible? Read the section "How it Works" at http://www.silkyboard.com. ------- Wide Grafffiti - v.1.1 update "Split" checkbox. When it is unchecked - Silkypad unifies alpha and numeric parts of the Graffiti writing area. This let you to write Graffiti letters at either part of writing area and, as a result, to improve the accuracy of text input. At the same time all you will need to do to enter a number will be tapping a numeric key. ------- Punctuation Shift You will find that you can not use Graffiti Punctuation Shift mode the same way you did it before. To activate Punctuation Shift, instead of tapping the screen make a stroke similar to Enter, but from the lower right to upper left. Then write a Graffiti symbol as usual to enter a punctuation mark. ------- Standby mode In Standby mode only Graffiti writing is recognized by the system, the keypad is inactive. Write a big stroke at the bottom of Graffiti area similar to Backspace, as if you underline your PDA screen frame. The stroke should be no less than eight keys of the Silkypad. You will hear a beep indicating that the Standby mode is on (Silkypad is inactive). To activate the Silkypad (Standby off) make the same "underlining" stroke in the opposite direction: from the left to the right. ------- How to install? Install as usual application. If On box on the Silkypad panel is not checked - check it. ------- How to delete? Uncheck On box on the Silkypad panel at first. Delete as usual application after that.
