It learns when you correct the errors, but you have to correct them a
certain way. IMO, it was a bit awkward. The better way is to go to the
HWR preferences, and find the "Handwriting Practice" app, and spend a
bunch of time in that. I used to do this when in waiting rooms or
waiting in line, or other places where I would have a few moments to
practice. When you use this app, it knows what you should be typing,
and learns quite quickly.
Also, you can go into the "Letter Shapes" (visible, I think, only if
cursive is selected), and fine tune your settings there--turning off
letter shapes you don't use, and bias towards letter shapes you use.
It takes a bit, but you should get nearly perfect with some practice.
I did with my chicken scratch on a 120 running 1.3 many years ago. :-)
