Looks like they gave up on dictionary look-ups and went with letter-by-letter
handwriting recognition.  Just like the Zoomer :-).

NEW NEWTON. Apple new version of the Newton Messagepad has improved word
recognition software (which now tries to read a word letter-by-letter
rather than trying to look it up in a dictionary), communications
capability for paging (with two-way wireless modems announced but not yet
available), more applications software, and a lower price (now $599). (New
York Times 3/4/94 C1)
