Here's another hint.
use the expansion facility to correct your common
mispellings and the Newt's common mis-interpretations.
In my case, my lower-case "h" is sometimes
interpretated as a lower-case "n" So, words like "the"
and "there" are interpretated as "tne" and "tnere". I
just create an expansion to automatically fix this. I
have done this for the majority if my
mis-interpretated words. Plus, the Newt fixes my
dyslexic writing. Words I write as "ahve" are
translated to "have" and so forth (I also use "Perfect
Keyboard" on my windows machines to do the very same
thing...)
I have added so many of these changes to my Newt, that
I usually get 100% handwriting recognition...and this
is with no, and I do mean no modifications to my
original handwriting what-so-ever (what one
high-school english teacher claimed was an incrackable
code writing...and she made the requirement that I
type out all my homework instead of freestyle
writing...as such, my handwriting has just gotten
worse instead of better...I haven't written a letter
to friends and family free-hand in 30 years!...but my
Newt is ok with my writing!)
