I found that too and narrowed the problem down to a few elements:
1) If you counter-intuitively give less time for character recognition (it
is adjustable) it does a better job since it is trying to interpret whatever
you write it its recognition period as on character. So reducing that time
period give a better probability of that being true :]

2) There are some flaws in the build in character stroke tables. It would be
nice if some of the built in tables could be edited. For instance, it seems
the 99% of my troubles now (after doing 1) above) are centered around
writing "i". It nearly always gets interpreted as a comma or a lower case
"L". There is no way, looking at the built in strokes for the comma, that it
should be misinterpretting that unless the HWR completely ignores the
starting position (relative to the guidelines drawn on the screen) of the
stroke. The "two part" characters are always tricky to deal with though.

Just some thoughts that might make it much more useful.
