Hello All. As you all know, ICS has a drastically updated speech to text engine built in. The feature was shown off with the ability to dictate punctuation. For those that have tried it, how has your experience been with it? Does it actually know to end a sentence with a period, as opposed to entering the word "period" (I ask this really of all punctuations). As of now, it works ok for me, but it picks and chooses when to enter the actual punctuation mark and when to enter the word (i.e, period, comma, exclamation point, etc.).

Hey everyone, I've searched the thread and hope I'm not the only one experiencing this problem with the Dopod WM6 Rom.
This happens every time I'm on a call and go to my notes to type info, the numeric keys 0-9 activate and I only get numbers when pressing them, and not the alphabetic characters, as soon as I end the call the keyboard returns back to normal.
Any suggestions?
Many people are aware of this problem and currently, there is no fix for it yet.
Some people were saying it isn't a bug, but it was intentionally made so the numbers input during a phone call when your phone is open to dial other numbers. You can always use the on-screen keyboard to type.
Thanks, guess we'll just have to wait then
My Tilt 2 and my girlfriend's Tilt 2 suffer from the same issue. About 25% of the time when we open a text message, our phones do not scroll down to the most recent message nor give us a cursor so we can start typing a reply.
You have to manually scroll down to the typing area and manually click in the blank space, and even then, when you start typing and get to the end of a line, instead of automatically dropping down to the next line, the phone inexplicably scrolls back up to an older message. You then have to scroll back down and click in the typing area where your message was cut off to resume typing, but each time you get to the end of a line, it scrolls back up again. Using the task manager to close the sms application fixes the problem, but it reoccurs about one out of every four text messages we receive. I have applied both of the hotfixes, the sms patch and the caller id patch.
It's so much of an annoyance, she, being a bigger texter than I, hates the phone. If anyone else has had this issue, do any of the extant cooked roms fix the issue? We are both using the stock At&T Rom minus the crud.
sounds like it could be a case of the different programs interfering with each other. install one by one and see if that makes a difference, you might come to realize something. If you want to just uninstall those programs you should use an advanced uninstaller like TMS or SK Tools to make sure you change the registry settings.
I'd really suggest grabbing a visual kitchen and making your own custom ROM. It is really simple and in my case has been the most stable and quickest ROM i've used to date.
thats just the Windows Mobile messaging... its horrible, they should make a new one lol, Like Handcent SMS for android, that is like THE best texting app. but about the issue, it sounds like you just need to purge your SMS, I do it once a week,but I also do a PIM backup before so, just incase
I do.
I purge it every day. I delete everything, and then I empty out the deleted messages if that's what you mean. It pisses me off. Her phone has virtually nothing on it. It's completely stock. I know there isn't anything interfering with it.
same problem here.
No solution here, but I can more further identify the problem....
Does this seem accurate?
When I select a text message from the message inbox, it displays the message just like a normal reply window with the keyboard at the bottom, but then takes a second or so and then the keyboard hides and the message is displayed full screen and the reply area with the cursor loses focus. Then I have to click in the reply box at the bottom at which point the keyboard has to pop up again and resize the message. The action is as if I have touched the message itself which would of course expand the message and minimize the keyboard.
I was originally thinking it is a left-over phantom touch from the previous screen but that has been ruled out. Maybe this is a timing issue in the registry? It doesn't seem like it. It happens with every new message that you want to reply to. I'm at a total loss, but very annoyed by this. The email section works fine. I see a list of messages, I select one, if I choose to reply, the message pops up and the cursor appears inline right where I should type and the keyboard pops up at the same time. Once I have replied to a message, even if I reboot the phone, if I go back to a message I have replied to the keyboard is already up with the cursor focused in the reply box. I don't know why it doesn't do this when a new message comes in. Maybe it thinks you need more space to read the message, but this is silly considering text messages are usually very short….ie Short Messaging Service…
I saw someone else post that this is just sucky windows messaging. Well, it didn't do this on my Treo 750 with WM6.1. But there I had a regular keyboard, not a software keyboard on a touch screen.
So my guess is that something in the messaging system may be looking for the hardware keyboard and assuming we have it open and displaying the messages full screen.
So what I think we really need to ask is if there is a way to force the keyboard to just be open and put the cursor focus in the reply box when I open a new text message by default?
Alternatively, is there a messaging replacement that eliminates this problem?
If this has been discussed elsewhere forgive me, could not see it in a search with my terms.
I am still on 4.0.1 and have observed this happening in a few IRC apps, although it is probably a general text entry bug that I would observe on sms etc if I used it without closing the app for long enough.
After a while you can no longer see text being entered in portrait mode. If you press enter the text will be in-putted, but you can not see it in the text entry field. Putting the KB into landscape does make the text visible, but it disappears again when it has been entered and KB returns to portrait.
This happens to me sometimes with chompSMS. Yes, I'm on 4.0.1 too. I thought it was a ChompSMS related bug, but apparently not. Haven't noted it anywhere else though.
Actually the text box is black, and with text being black, it appears invisible.
Yes it seems to be a general issue with text input. Hopefully they have it fixed with 4.0.2+. Might have to manually update if it doesn't come around soonish, have had some annoying crashes a swell.
I translate texts, and would like to be able to do that in more places than just while sitting with a laptop somewhere.
Even on the Note II, the screen isn't quite big enough to display the original text, the translated text and a keyboard on top of it.
So, I'm thinking of a way to read the text on screen, then verbalize the translation and have the phone commit that to writing, in the background, by way of voice recognition (a need for corrections later on is expected).
This would allow shifting the times I do work to low quality time periods like waiting for transportation to arrive etc.
Has anyone tried or done something similar to this?
I guess one option on the Note would be to have a small area to write the translation with the pen... but hands-free dictation style would be preferable.
Hi folks,
So, when using S-Note on the Note 8, there is the option to enter handwriting, which is then recognized, and turned into typed text. What I notice, is that the typed text is wrapped (next line) according to the way you enter the text lines below each other with your handwriting. Thus, if you write four words in a line, and then continue writing in the next line, the recognized text will also only have the four words in its first line, with the rest in the next line.
Since handwriting is, as a rule, much larger than the typed, recognized text, the recognized text always only fills about the left third of the page. This is obviously wasting a lot of screen space.
I would like to see a way to either drag-extend the text-box after recognition, and see the words wrap at the edge of the text-box, rather than according to my initial handwriting, OR, I'd like to see the software auto-wrap the text itself, making the text-box larger, to the full width of the page, thus allowing me to write much more on a page than only one third on the left side.
Anyone have any ideas about this?
