As folks are aware, there's an option under the cursive recognizer
to have it "learn" your handwriting. This amounts to changing weights in
a table of possible letter-forms according to which recognitions are
reinforced by being left alone, and which are deprecated by being corrected
by the user after a mis-recognition.
It was the intention of the implementers of the printed recognition
system, Rosetta, to include this feature in Rosetta as well, but they ran out
of time, and used fixed letter-form weights instead. I don't want to try to
explain it in any more detail than this because I'll likely get it wrong.
The full story is contained in the paper I cited:
