Hello,
i'm somewhat new to symbian so bare with it please. What I'm trying to do is to write an application that would catch input from the handwriting recognition software, and upon encountering specific combinations of characters, replaced the characters recorded by the handwriting recognition with something else. So if you typed in lets say: "!a", it would replace these two characters with a "$" sign. This would be needed as several special characters are not accessible from the standard handwriting recognition software on P800. After some research I became pretty confident that I will need to write a front end processor. Is there no other way to do it? I would like to absolutely avoid the need to write my handwriting recognition algorithms on my own so if you know any way to do this, please suggest. I just need to be pointed in the right direction.
Thank you.

You need to write FEP of "in a box" type, keep track of entered characters, and replace them as needed on the fly. After working hard with own FEP I think this is only right way. You may skip displaying any keyboard as I did, but you will need to use Inline Text Editing for "on the fly" text composition...
Unfortunately documentation related to FEP designing avalaible only in SDK and at nokia developers portal. You can search at Nokia Developers Forum for string FEP, there are two documents, one FEP example for series 60 (oops :redface: ) and other - some FEP documentation.
