I miss it as much as I miss writing in Graffiti script on palm OS in the mid 90s. In other words, not much.
If all your PDA (smart phone without the phone, essentially) had is what now counts as a modestly low performance microcontroller, your OCR needs help, so Graffiti had glyphs like a single simple right angle for a letter T, an F is that right angle flipped, etc.
There exists a Graffiti keyboard input for Android, just search for it. I have not used it.
I was brought up in the era of all engineers will use block caps on blueprints and all scientists will use readable block caps in lab notebooks, so the kids were put in tracks by middle school therefore I've not written cursive since 6th grade. Possibly the "future english lit" track students continued to use cursive, I donno.
- jdmichal 10y agoFor those who don't know, technical lettering is pretty standardized: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_lettering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_lettering > It is used to describe, or provide detailed specifications for, an object. With the goals of legibility and uniformity, styles are standardized and lettering ability has little relationship to normal writing ability.
- 5555624 10y agoI use "Graffiti Pro for Android" (Access Co,. LTD). I prefer it to using the onscreen keyboard, I used my Palm Vx extensively, so I got very good with Graffiti. I like it; however, I don't know if I would use it if I did not already know Graffiti. Every so often a character does not register the first time; but, it's still quicker for me than my fat thumbs on a keyboard.
