[NTLK] Handwriting Recognition > Options > Letter Shapes

[Doug]

I cringe every time I see the tiny letters retrace themselves, then doubly
cringe when I see the weird "suggested letter constructions" they imagined.
Does anybody really construct a lowercase letter "y" looking like a capital
"Y," just smaller, but from the bottom upward? Really?

I think it would be important to be working with Larry Yaeger, asking him
for input and suggestions on the necessity or the benefit of adding
additional letter shapes to the existing letter shapes sets already
defined. I'm curious to know if adding additional letter constructions
would immediately be applied forward in the recognizer's accurate
recognition of the handwriting, without affecting the recognizer's overall
accuracy.

Another way of saying the same thing might be that I'm wondering if the
existing sets of suggested letter constructions have been compiled, and
therefore cannot be easily added to. I seem to remember asking this
question once before. I'm not sure what the answer is. What I'm trying to
explain is rather difficult.

Some of the existing animations are so difficult to see that I cannot
really detect what path or pattern is, they are so small, and the
animations happen so quickly. That's another thing that could be worth
expanding on, literally and figuratively.
