Thank you for trying TealScript. This program is a replacement
for the graffiti text recognition system. Unlike the graffiti recognition
system that comes standard on all Palm organizers, TealScript is configurable,
allowing you to train it to recognize your own distinct handwriting and reduce
common errors. With a little practice, you can also tweak it to add your own
alternative strokes, multi-character macros or correctly recognize strokes that
might confuse the built-in recognition.

your organizer to install the program file TEALSCRP.PRC and the stroke profile PROFILE.PDB.
This manual is provided in this archive as the PalmPilot document SCRPDOC.PRC,
which you may view with TealDoc.
After a crash or system reset, TealScript normally needs to be
launched again to restart
recognition.
You can automate this by installing the system extension ReScript and it's
manager program HackMaster, but this is optional and may not work if you are
running other programs that perform certain functions after a system reset. Use
the PalmPilot installer to install RESCRIPT.PRC and HACKMSTR.PRC. Then run the
HackMaster program on the PalmPilot and check on the checkbox next to ReScript.
TealScript will be started the first time after you leave HackMaster.
Instructions on how to use the Palm installer are in the Palm
Handbook that came with your Pilot, PalmPilot, or WorkPad.
WARNING
Once you enable TealScript,
before updating or deleting the program in the future, you must first turn off
global recognition or your PalmPilot will crash during or soon after HotSync.
Likewise, HackMaster system extensions like
ReScript must also be turned off before deleting or reinstalling.
TealScript recognizes strokes in graffiti area by comparing each
entered pen stroke to entries in the current stroke profile. A stroke profile
is a collection of recorded strokes and the characters they represent.
TealScript uses the stroke profile as a sort of dictionary, converting a stroke
to a character once it's found the closest match.
Most tuning is done by manipulating the stroke profile's
individual entries, tuning its adjustment values, retraining its recorded
stroke data, or adding new stroke entries altogether.
After installing, begin using TealScript by starting it from the
Palm application launcher. You'll start on the main control screen, the main
starting point for tuning and configuring TealScript. If the default profile
file has been installed properly, it should appear at the top of the screen
under the title Profile:, which is a pop-up list that displays all installed
profiles and provides choices for deleting, creating, or duplicating them.
Normally, you'll want to turn on the Enable Globally option and
perhaps some of the other options as well. At this point, you can simply leave
the program and use your PalmPilot normally. To tune the recognition for better
results, however, you can use the following options and tools either now or
later when you return.
On the main control screen, you can set various options, and set
or modify the current stroke profile.
Enable
Globally
Turns on TealScript stroke recognition using
the current profile. Set this checkmark to use TealScript handwriting
recognition as your default text input system. When this option is not
selected, TealScript's replacement system is only active within the program
itself, and the default Palm graffiti recognition stays in effect outside
TealScript.
Note: TealScript's global recognition turns off
when you reset the PalmPilot, either from a crash or using the pinhole reset on
the back. When this occurs, you only need to restart TealScript to reenable
recognition. You can use the included HackMaster extension ReScript to
automatically do this after a reset.
Allow Alternate Strokes
Recognizes as valid strokes entries in the
current profile marked as "alternates." You might want to turn off
this option if you create many "alternate" strokes but later want to
temporarily disable them and go back to a bare-bones set of standard graffiti
strokes. You normally want to set this option on.
Beep on Error
Plays the system error sound when a stroke
is entered that does not resemble any entry in the current profile. Set this
option to give an audio cue to help in recognition.
Click on entry (slows recognition)
Plays the system click sound when a valid
stroke is entered. Note that that this option will slightly slow down text
entry recognition.
Maintain Statistics
Maintains and updates a statistics table
whenever you enter a keystroke. These statistics can help you tune the
recognition for better results.
EZ Capitalize on alpha/num border
This option effectively creates a third
drawing region between the number and text regions. When you draw letter on
this line between the number and text areas, they'll become automatically
capitalized.
Disable System Auto-Shift
Newer versions of the Palm OS automatically
capitalize the beginning of a block of text. Checking this option tells
TealScript to ignore this auto-capitalization. The visual shift indicator will
still automatically be drawn "shifted" when you start, but its effect
will be ignored unless it was manually turned on by a graffiti stroke.
On up stroke...
Sets which feature to activate when a
stroke is made from the graffiti area to the top of the screen. This menu takes
the place of the system preferences "pen" options when TealScript is
active. Note that for Palm OS versions prior to 3.0 on the PalmPilot Personal
and PalmPilot Professional models, some features, such as beaming will have no
effect.
The following buttons on the Main Screen
provide tools for analyzing and tuning a script profile. A brief description
appears below, followed by more detailed explanations.
Train Profile
Brings up the training screen to quickly
teach TealScript to better recognize your own distinct graffiti.
Edit Profile
Bring up the detailed editing screen to
view, adjust, or retrain individual strokes in the current stroke profile.
Test Profile
Test the current profile, showing strokes
as you enter them along with their matched profile entries.
Statistics
Show statistics on stroke that were entered
since the last time the current profile was set or changed.
Use
this menu to Select, create, clone, rename, or delete the current stroke
profile. While it's possible to create a new profile from scratch, doing so
requires making hundreds of stroke entries and tuning them by trial and error.
If you want to experiment with your own profile, it's highly recommended that
you load and copy the default profile, and use that as a basis in creating your
own profile.
The
training screen allows you to easily fine-tune whole groups of strokes in the
current profile, simply by writing them. Use this option to do minor quick
adjustments to the stroke profile to accommodate minor variations in your
handwriting, such as slanting letters. In general, it won't help with more
specific cases of stroke confusion. For these cases, use the more specific
training methods in the edit or training screens.
When doing overall training with this option, you're retuning
the profile to look specifically for the letters you enter, so enter your
strokes carefully, as they must be representative of your normal handwriting.
Careless training can make recognition worse, requiring hand tweaking in the
editing screen.
When the "Train Profile" option is selected, you'll be
presented with a list of character groups to train, such as
"alphabetic" or "numeric". Select one, and you'll be
brought to the training screen, and asked to enter a series of strokes one at a
time. Simply enter all the strokes carefully, ignoring any shifting strokes you
may ordinarily need to do when entering the characters. Enter the strokes
naturally, but slowly and carefully enough to be representative of your
handwriting.
You will be prompted with each stroke before you enter it, but
you needn't use the exact suggested stroke for a particular character if there
are active alternates in the current profile. The system will match each stroke
to its closest entry in the stroke profile, and adjust that entry to resemble
the stroke you entered.
The
profile editing screen allows you to make detailed modifications to individual
entries in the stroke profile. Making these modifications is more technical
than the overall training process, and requires experience and experimentation.
On the Edit Profile screen, a list of the strokes in the current
profile appears on the left. Note that in a complete stroke profile, there are
entries for not only letters and numbers, but for non-printing characters such
as a (Shift) operation or menu (Command) stroke. There are also often multiple
stroke entries for a single character. These exist to make the profile more
robust to variations in the way a stroke can be entered.
You can quickly go to an entry in the stroke list by entering
that key corresponding to those entries as a graffiti stroke.
When you select an entry from the list, the shape of this stroke
appears in the box below. On the right are various adjustable settings
corresponding to the stroke.
Class
Three different class settings exist:
Standard, Alternate, or
Distort. These affect how the strokes are
affected by training or the main screen "allow alternates" option.
Standard
A normal graffiti stroke which can be
modified by training
Alternate
A custom or unusual stroke. Alternate
strokes are in a separate category so that they can be easily turned off from
the main menu should a particular user find them confusing. Create 'alternate'
class entries to define your own completely new ways of entering a character.
Distort
A misshapen entry meant to help the
graffiti recognition understand even an incomplete or badly entered stroke.
'Distort' entries are unaffected by the global training operation accessible
from the main menu. Create 'Distort' class entries to handle occasions when an
entered graffiti stroke is recognizable, but varies significantly from the
standard due to speed or sloppiness of entry.
Squelch
This value allows you to de-emphasize the
current entry, forcing the recognition system to bypass this entry as a match
if there is another stroke entry that mathematically matches nearly as well.
This value can compensate for the fact that
simpler strokes with few angles are easier to match than more complex ones.
Though not often used, you can keep a stroke from being falsely detected by
increasing the squelch value. Use care when setting this value, however, as too
high a squelch will make this stroke unrecognized when it should.
Cutoff
The cutoff sets a "minimum match"
percentage for this stroke. When TealScript compares an entered stroke to an
entry, it generates a "percentage-match" value indicating how similar
the two strokes are. If a cutoff value is set, the "percentage-match"
value must exceed the cutoff value, or the that profile entry will not be
considered a match even if no other entry matches nearly as well.
Most of the time, the cutoff is a better
way to prevent a particular entry from being falsely detected when the entered
stroke was meant to be another character.
Active in Alpha Area
When checked, this stroke is valid entered
in the alpha entry area on the left side of the graffiti area. Set this
checkmark for letters and symbols.
Active in Number Area
When checked, this stroke is valid entered
in the numeric entry area on the right side of the graffiti area. Set this
checkmark for number. Note that either this or the previous option must be set
for a stroke to ever be recognized at all.
Normal Mode
Indicates that this entry is valid with no
shift modes active.
Punctuation Mode
Indicates that this stroke is valid when
punctuation shift is on.
Symbol Mode
Indicates that this stroke is valid when
symbol shift is on. Note that at least one of the three above options must be
set.
Add New
Creates a new entry into the stroke
profile. You'll be asked to choose a key represented by the stroke and set its
initial options. They key can be a character the stroke represents (A,B,C,
etc.), as special function (Shift, Command, Up, etc.) or a 1-10 multi-character
macro.
Retrain
Retrains the stroke corresponding to the
current entry. The retraining process is very similar to global training, but
only applies to the current entry.
Remove
Deletes the current entry from the stroke
profile.
Done
Returns to the main screen.
You can enter multiple keystrokes (up to 10
characters) and link them to a single graffiti stroke using the
"macro..." key choice when creating a new stroke. This can be a much
quicker way to enter common words than the standard graffiti shortcut
mechanism.
The default profile has a few example
strokes for multiple-key macros. For instance, drawing a clockwise triangle
starting in the lower left corner will create the word "and". The
word "for" is linked to a 'F' stroke immediately followed by a
counter-clockwise circle. Lastly, you can write "the" by writing
combining the 'T' and 'H' strokes, where the first line of the 'H' is the same
as the second stroke of the 'T'.
These are just examples. With a little
creativity, you can create your own strokes for the words you use the most.
Normally, when you create a stroke entry,
you can choose the stroke from the presented list of strokes. If you wish,
however, you can create strokes for characters not in the list by choosing the
last "ASCII..." option at the bottom of the list. Do this to create
strokes for special characters in the Palm font set not generally supported by
graffiti, like the 1/2 and 1/4 fraction symbols. The font viewer app available
on the Palm website can be useful in identifying these characters.
The test screen provides a text field where you can test how the
current stroke profile recognizes your text entry. Every time you enter each
character, the stroke you entered appears on the left, while its best match in
the profile (if found) appears on the right. A match percentage is displayed
showing how close the two strokes are to each other mathematically. The higher
the number, the better the match.
You can scroll through the last few characters entered using the
two arrow buttons above the current stroke display.
Use the test screen to diagnose recognition errors, showing
whether a registration error is due to a profile that needs tuning, or simply
sloppy handwriting beyond any profile's power to reconcile.
When you encounter a stroke that isn't recognized by the current
profile, you can add it by clicking on the "Add Entry" button. You'll
be asked to set basic parameters for the stroke, including the key character it
represents.
The
statistics screen shows various statistics about your graffiti entry under the
current profile, such as stroke count, writing rate (in strokes per minute),
corrections, and unrecognized strokes. Statistics are tabulated if the
"statistics" checkmark is set in the main screen, and are reset
whenever the profile lookup system is updated to reflect changes made in the
current profile.
Also shown are the top five missed strokes (strokes following a
backspace) and misentered strokes (stokes preceding a backspace). These two
lists are present to help identify common entry errors and thus aid you in
fine-tuning a stroke profile.
Use the statistics screen periodically to identify common
problems in your graffiti recognition and to help fix them. After encountering
a recognition error, you can visit the statistics screen in TealScript and
scroll through the last few entered strokes, adding them, if desired, to the
current stroke profile using the "Add Entry" button.
Tuning a stroke profile to improve recognition accuracy involves
two steps, identifying the cause of problems and modifying the profile to
compensate for the problem.
The most useful place to diagnose errors is
in the test screen. Write the characters which you find problematical or are
trying to test. When a recognition error occurs, look in the leftmost box to
see exactly what the program sees. It should resemble the stroke you were
intending to make. Try to categorize the error in one of the following
possibilities:
“It only
somewhat looks like the letter I wanted. It somewhat resembles another letter
too, or none at all.”
Solution: Slow down your handwriting. Be careful to write the characters
smoothly and with enough pressure on the pen. Use a program like TealEcho to
let you see your pen stroke when you write.
“It
looks like the letter I wanted, but differs slightly from the
"standard" graffiti stroke in the profile and is representative of my
handwriting. “
Solution: Retrain the entry in the profile in the edit screen to make it
resemble your handwriting better.
“It
looks mostly like the letter I wanted, but is somewhat distorted. It is not
representative of my handwriting, but does not resemble another character. “
Solution: Create a distort entry in the test or statistics screen to
handle this stroke the next time you enter it.
“It
looks more like the letter I wanted than the one that was detected, but it's
somewhat similar to a "Distort" entry in the stroke profile for that
other letter. “
Solution: Raise the cutoff value for that "Distort" entry
that's interfering to limit the range of operation for that entry.
“It
looks the way I naturally write that letter, but it's not a standard graffiti
stroke. “
Solution: You may be able to create a custom entry in the profile to
handle the letter written that way. The stroke must be unique enough not to
interfere with a similar stroke, however.
You can also identify and solve problems while
using TealScript in your everyday writing. When you encounter a recognition
error, stop as soon as you notice the error. If it's within the last 5
characters entered, run TealScript and go to the statistics screen. There, you
can scroll though the last 5 strokes, see the entered stroke, and optionally
create a new distort entry based on that stroke. See below for more details.
More detailed instructions for the four
basic profile tuning methods appear below.
A.
Fixing mismatches due to sloppiness - Be nice to the digitizer
You can improve recognition using a few
tricks to improve how the digitizing hardware reads in the pen positions.
Write large
The digitizer is more robust to pen jitter
if the letter are written big in the graffiti area
Push down
The digitizer can be inaccurate if the pen
is not held down hard enough. Press with a little pressure, as you would a
ballpoint pen on paper.
Keep the pen moving
If you stop the pen mid-stroke or move too
slowly, jittery noise can be introduced into your pen stroke, confusing
recognition.
See your writing
Use a program like TealEcho to see your
graffiti "ink" as you write. This helps greatly in making sure you
close your 'o's, cross your 'x's and otherwise make repeatable-recognizable
letters.
Stay vertical
If you start to rotate your PalmPilot,
slanting your writing, your graffiti stroke can start to resemble letters you
don't want to write. Keep your writing vertical, or at least consistent.
B.
Fixing mismatches due to handwriting style - Retrain Stroke Entry
If your graffiti for a single stroke is
consistent, but the mismatch was simply due to a difference in style between
your handwriting and the desired stroke in the profile, try retraining that
entry to more closely reflect your own writing. Be sure that the stroke is
still close enough to the standard stroke and is not too close to the stroke
for another character, however. Do this by using the "retrain" option
in the Edit Profile screen after finding the entry that best matches your own
handwriting. If all of your writing is slightly different due to, say,
left-handedness, you can use the global training option on the main screen to
train whole groups of profile entries at a time.
C.
Fixing mismatches due to slight sloppiness - Add a Distort Entry
Most of the time, mismatches occur because
a quickly-entered stroke was misshapen just enough to make look too different
from the reference stroke in the profile. Typical examples are stroke head or
tails that are too long or too short, loops that are too big or too small, or
characters that are angled one way or another.
In these cases, you never want to retrain
the stroke entry, because the entered stroke is somewhat of an anomaly. For
instance, if you have a tendency to sometimes make an incomplete 'S' character,
you shouldn't retrain the system to recognize your 'S' as the only 'S', or you
might make the system incapable of later recognizing a full complete 'S'.
Still, you want even an anomalous stroke to
be recognized as the character was intended. As long as the anomalous stroke
doesn't resemble another legitimate stroke, you can create a
"distort" entry to handle that case in the future. In other words,
following the above example, you want to create an entry that says that an incomplete
'S' is also an 'S', so that both versions will get recognized.
From the test screen, you can easily add a
new stroke entry to cover a recently added stroke. Use the left and right
arrows to find the stroke in question, and tap the "Add Entry" button
to create a new entry with that stroke. When you encounter a recognition
problem outside "TealScript", you can find and add an entry from
within the Statistics Screen.
When making an entry alias, be sure to set
the class to "Distort", so that training operations will ignore the
stroke. Otherwise, repeated global training will tend to water-down the aliases
for each character until they all look alike.
D.
Fixing mismatches due to added distort entries - Set Cutoff Value
If an added distort stroke entry starts to
interfere with other strokes, coming up when it shouldn't, you can give it a
cutoff value to narrow the range of its effectiveness. Essentially, a high
cutoff value tells the system to ignore the distort entry unless an entered
stroke matches it very closely. Set the value just high enough to filter out
invalid matches, but still low enough to matches entries when you want.
Theoretically, you can achieve near perfect
recognition if you could create a huge number of distort entries to handle every
possible variation, and simply set their cutoff values very high so that they'd
never interfere with each other. In the real world, however, both recognition
speed and memory use are adversely affected by having too many distort entries.
So, while this approach is generally useful in improving recognition, use a
little restraint when trying it.
E.
Customizing graffiti with alternate strokes
Once you have good recognition happening,
you may wish to add your own alternate strokes into the stroke profile for
convenience and faster input. The default profile has some simple alternates
such as a lower case 'e'. When adding alternates, make sure that they aren't
too similar to existing graffiti strokes. For instance, a lower case 'n' may
not be a good idea because many people's graffiti 'h' look too much like an
'n', particularly when they are writing quickly. When adding an alternate, it's
a good idea to flag it as being in the "alternate" class, so even if
it works for you, you can quickly turn it off temporarily in the main menu for
someone else.
Once you've made changes to a profile, you'll want to back it up
to the desktop to insure it's around in case you lose the data on your
PalmPilot for an unforeseen reason. To back up a profile during HotSync, select
the "Details" menu item from the Edit Profile screen and check the
backup option. The profile will be backed up to your Palm user backup folder
during the next HotSync, and will be updated whenever the profile is changed.
To do detailed profile tuning, it might be helpful to know how
TealScript works.
When a stroke is entered into the graffiti area, it's returned
from the operating system as a series of coordinates. TealScript takes these
coordinates and mathematically compares them to each of the entries in the
stroke profile, generating a mathematical "Match-Percentage" number
for every entry in the stroke profile. The entry with the highest "Match
Percentage" is returned as the best match.
If an entry has a squelch value set, then it's
"Match-Percentage" is artificially tweaked downward to deemphasize
the entry. This makes the entry come up less often when an entered stroke is
not a clear match for any profile entry, but still keeps the entry in the
running.
If an entry has a cutoff value then its 'Match-Percentage' has
to exceed the cutoff, or it's set to zero before comparison with the other
entries is made. Thus, the cutoff confines a profile entry to a very narrow
range of effectiveness, while the squelch is a general, overall adjustment.
This makes the latter useful for coarse tuning when creating a profile, and the
former better for fine-tuning specific recognition problems.
In determining the Match Percentage value, several factors are
used in weighing various criteria. While we can't provide a detailed
explanation of these factors here, they can be modified via a control screen
reachable via menu item in the Main or Profile Test screens.It is unlikely that
adjusting the weighing factors will result in much improved recognition, but
for curiosity's sake the factors are briefly described in the (i) information
button on the Control screen, and you're welcome to experiment with them.
As we cannot control the style and robustness of other products,
we cannot guarantee compatibility with PalmPilot applications beyond those
included from Palm Computing. However, we try to resolve compatibility issues
as best we can.
Defragger
Be sure to disable TealScript before
running a memory management program like Defragger, or changing the state of
any hack that may patch into graffiti recognition routines. We're currently
looking into compatibility issues with PiLock.
SymbolHack,
SelectHack, and CorrectHack
We suspect one or more of these programs to
be incompatible with TealScript for unknown reason, perhaps due to stack memory
limitations, causing random crashes, particularly on non-PalmIII Pilots.
Screenwrite
Is incompatible, as it patches into the default
system graffiti system.
ShiftHack
Use the new "Disable Auto-Shift"
option in TealScript to perform the same operation.
System
Shortcuts
The special Palm OS backdoor/debugging dot
(.) shortcuts won't work with TealScript active. Disable TealScript before
using them.
