ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to an apparatus for writing. The apparatus comprises a writing mechanism. The apparatus comprises a tablet surface sensitive to the position of the writing mechanism and able to detect whether the writing mechanism is in contact with the surface. The apparatus comprises a computer processor which identifies a writeable character from the motion of the writing mechanism from a resting zone into an other zone of a plurality of zones when the writing mechanism is in contact with the surface. The computer processor defines the surface into the resting zone and enough other zones to identify a written alphabet. Each other zone is in contact with the resting zone. The present invention pertains to a method for writing. The method comprises the steps of moving a stylus from a resting zone on a tablet surface to at least an other zone of a plurality of zones in contact with the resting zone while the stylus is in continuous contact with the surface. The surface is sensitive to the position of the writing mechanism and able to detect whether the writing mechanism is in contact with the surface. Then there is the step of identifying a letter with a processor in contact with the surface from the movement of the stylus from the resting zone to at least the other zone and back to the resting zone.
