Tips to increase the recognition quality
You will have the best recognition quality when using the default letter shape settings. Disabling too many shapes will decrease the recognition quality. There is only one reason to disable a certain shape of a certain letter, which is if calligrapher recognizes this letter incorrectly because you wrote its shape similar to another letter. For example, if your "o" is recognized as "u", you can try to disable some shapes for "o" or for "u", or for both. However, if you disable too many shapes you will decrease the recognition quality.
When you click on the selected shape in the Letter Shape Selector it will redraw the letter showing the direction in which you should move your pen. The direction of the pen strokes is as important as the shape.
Try to write bigger characters. The minimum recommended size of your handwritten characters should be equivalent to size 16 (or bigger) of the Tahoma font. (To get an idea how big it is, run Pocket Word, select the Tahoma size 16 font and write “something”).
Upper case characters should be at least twice as big (or bigger) as the lower case characters.
