We present here the Continuous Marking Menus, which help users learning a set of handwritten commands on a pen-based interface. The aim of this paper is to experimentally attest the interest of this new type of menu by evaluating its ability to help the learning of a set of gestures. We describe an experimental comparison on the task of learning a set of gestures with or without the help of Continuous Marking Menus, and we conclude that with the help of Continuous Marking Menus, people learn more easily the gestures.
