Yes, when writing with the digital pen, it’s best to keep the following best practices in mind:

• Writing Styles: Printing and cursive work best with handwriting recognition. Avoid block printing as it doesn’t produce good “conversion to text” results. When writing text on the Excel form you need to write in the same direction and orientation as the printed form for your ink to be recognized
• Dates: When writing a date, use day/month/year convention, i.e. 09/10/2009 or 09-10-2009
• Decimal points: If you write a number that starts with a decimal point, start with a “0” then make a thick decimal point.
• Margins: Although the image can be printed up to the edge of the pattern, the digital pen does not work well at the edges of the page. Allow a ½ inch margin from the edge of the page when writing, to ensure that your ink is captured correctly.
• Parallel letters: Avoid crossing adjacent “t”s with a single horizontal stoke, such as in “Seattle”
• Punctuation: Exaggerate your punctuation marks so they are recognized more easily, i.e. use thick decimals, periods, and points.
• Quotes: Don’t enter double-quotes (“) in a cell to mean “same entry as the cell above,” Capturx will misinterpret the ink. 
• Slashes: If you use forward slashes to separate dates, then exaggerate the slashes to avoid them looking like the number “1.”
• Addresses: Make spaces between numbers and letters
