Hi wonderful developers,
I was disappointed with the pen writing application in the Note.. I used to use the stylus application with the Windows Mobile 6.1 - HTC Touch HD - phone and it had a -- Letter Recognition -- writing app built in which was brilliant when u got used to it after a few days.
I could write faster than typing and no need for extra pressing of buttons to get characters and punctuation. This was especially useful when using Spreadsheets and entering times with a colon separator as well as formulas. It was so good that I still carry it with me and use it to log all my jobs, times and notes for my work. It is very fast at Character recognition but it's so slow opening files etc and has a small screen compared to the Note 2 7105.
It had an Input area at bottom of screen with 3 sections. The first for Capitals (write as a normal lower case letter) The Middle section was for normal lower case letters and the Right hand side was for punctuation , numbers, and symbols etc.
IT WORKS GREAT ! (once you get used to it)
Is it possible to make this for the Note 2 ?????
The resultant size occupied at the bottom of the screen can be relatively small compared to a keyboard etc....
Please Please Please consider this - it really is the best Input method I have found yet !
Thanks
and thank you also developers for all your hard and ingenious work which is transforming my Note 2 into a fantastic necessity...

Hello everyone.
Thanks to all those people offering their services as beta testers.
I have begun work on the T9 input method. I would like some help in designing a skin. This needs to be a .bmp file. I will send you the initial bmp I have used for testing, and you should use similar layout for the buttons.
I don't mind if the layout changes, as long as it is easy to use with fingers (not stylus).
The size of the bitmap, however, must not change. It should be 240 x 160.
The yellow area I included for two function buttons (ie, change word, and number mode) 1 will do a space, and 0 will do punctuation.
To the administrators - could you possibly stick the bitmap on the site somewhere, as I don't have a server to use for downloads?
Martin,
First of all, u can use my server for storage, i figure the files r small so it wont mather. just e-mail me the files, or just put in a zip, and i'll send u the link. second I like to see if i can come up with a nice design.
Yeah, no probs.
I've also realise the keypad used for the phone is exactly the right size for me. So If you want to reskin the phone (maybe relable some of the buttons if it would make using it easir), then that is fine.
Everbody,
Here is the file from Martin. http://www.stoelman.com/T9_sms.bmp
Ok people... we've come up with an initial design for the keypad, and I've done the initial work on the T9 input panel. I have a suitable skin, and will be working with this to create button positions.
This skin is not final, and may be changed as we work on the functionality, but when it has been finalised, I will be opening up for new skins to be created. It is anticipated that this will be configurable on the final release, so you will not need to be disappointed if yours isn't chosen!
I am now writing the business logic. I hope to get plenty of work done this weekend, and I'll keep you all informed of progress.
Thanks
Martin
Martin,
How's your project comming along? is it allready far enough for beta testing.
Unfortunately not yet. I'm currently waiting for some dictionary stuff. As soon as I have that, it can continue.
Regards
Martin
UPDATE
Just to update you. I have been in touch with tegic over the licensing of T9. We are currently discussing this.
I have to warn you, though, that because i have to license T9 from Tegic, there will be royalties to pay. I don't yet know the amount, but I'm guessing at about £15 per unit sold. In order to provide assurances to Tegic, the software will have to be licensed based on the IMEI of the target device.
I will keep you all informed of the progress of these negotiations, if they even get beyond this stage.
Big corporates
Nice idea, I have used the t9 on many phones for years.
Siemens c35 and ME45, Sony j3e, Nokia 6310i.
Would making something similar not just simply work? or simplifing the keypad in this way is totally owned by t9 ?
I look forward to a bit of beta testing...
I would like to find a way around it. But it's difficult to get hold of an 'ideal' word list that is compressed, contains 'appropriate' words of the right quantity. and is indexed. I can do the indexing if a good dic is found.
I could also look at alternatives - just awaiting some more communication from T9.
I have done something similar for Palm with graphitti (graphitti can be hell, too ;-)) and would offer u any help u need.
I've been using my Dash on the weekends at certain times instead of my tytn and I am desperately looking for an autotext or autocorrect applicaton. Basically, I do a tremendous amount of emails on my phone and this application allows me to type in three letters in an email like "mrq" and have it replaced with "meeting request" or "btw" and replace it with "by the way". I use Kai' autocorrect.net on my tytn and it lets me write emails so much faster.
the xt9 on the dash is an annoyance and does not perform the same function.
Qoolapps makes qcaps and qcorrect, but it only works on the motorola q.
Bumping this up to the top again. If anyone has any suggestions, please help. I really need this.
Bump here --- (AUTOTEXT solutions for WM5/6)
I have used Kai Autocorrect but recently it seems to have issues with some of the WM6 ROM's - can't pin it down so input on that would be great.
But also if there are any other options - it amazes me this is such a simple yet killer app for the BB .... example type bb = Blackberry .. type wm = WindowsMobile.... thxm = Thanks Much!
Not using mouse stylus and all that jazz just on the fly word conversion and completion with a self defined library of words. AutoCorrect again does most but has not been updated in a long time.
Thanks for anything ---
I am confused, too: used it on a Excalibur? I thought it runs only on PPC??

XT9 (DB edit) or Autocorrect alternative.....
Correct -
The issue is the WM6 Smartphone version and PPC versions differ in how they do Autocorrect - which for many is brutal pain..... the PPC version has in /windows a hidden file called autocorrect.0409.txt which can be manipulated to add/delete words from your dictionary and you can control it.
The Smartphone/WM6 since it uses ughhhl XT9 yada it uses a different DB which is apparently tough to edit - manipulate - to anything with.
As much as I wish the Smartphone worked like the PPC, I think I am hoping for a prayer here that won't happen - so I see only 2 options that would get us close to that:
1 - Some way to get control to add/edit change this XT9 DB
2 - An add-in app (which I have asked a Dev to look at but says its rough) to run resident and give us the same as what exists on the PPC/WM6 on the smartphone.
The sad part is all in all I could see the SmartPhone needing this even MORE since it's keyboards are usually smaller any anything to minimize keystrokes is key.
This is so sad --- Anyone that can help I would be so grateful. Even if there is some way to port some of the WM6/PPC ROM components over would be VERY NICE!!!

A call to all developers ... this is the only thing I miss from my BlackBerry ....
Someone must be able to amend either QCaps or MagicKBLite to work?
I take no credit for this, I just found it in the general forum.

"Move over T9, here comes Swype
Swype works with an on-screen QWERTY keyboard like you have on the tablet version of Windows and on the iPhone. But instead of tapping letters out, you press your finger or stylus on the first letter, then, without lifting it, move it to the remaining letters in the word. When the word is done, then you lift."
Head over to the original thread to download the WVGA version...
Been using this for the past couple of days and I must say it's excellent! Doesn't quite fit correctly on 6.5.x as it overhangs the bottom bar, but doesn't make it unusable. Recommend looking at some of the tutorial videos on the Swype website.
Been using shapewriter for months myself and fairly happy with it, fits HD fine and I find it the quickest way of entering data. Using the stylus it is very accurate (95 - 100%), with my finger, not quite so accurate (50 - 75%) but good enough for a short SMS. Will give Swype a go and compare.

Or German perhaps?
Absolutely love Swype on my HD, now hoping for German layout to follow soon. But with $5 million just received from Nokia and Samsung Swype should get up to speed soon! Android version in the works.

Firstly I would like to say I love Swype !
What I have realised is that when sending a SMS with the HTC Messaging interface (6.5 ROM Dutty HG Leo R0), as I type a contact name with the original keyboard I am presented with a like of possible contact matches as I type more letters. Now with Swype, as I type the contact name it now longer presents a list of possible contacts like the original keyboard. Has anyone found a workaround for this problem.
the workaround is to type some letters then backspace one character... the list will then pop up. not sure why this is but at least there's a way.
I've just tried this and must say it is a very nice input method! Thank you for starting this thread and making this excellent software known
Developers and all interested...
I like a lot with the Galaxy Note 2 7105 but the main dislikes are the HUGE size of the stock screen icons, popup windows etc and the slowness when trying to Input letters, numbers and characters using the SPEN.
Is it possible to have a way of sorting these while still maintaining a stock ROM ?
Could someone develop a better scratchpad Input window for the spen using , maybe , a similar method as the old Windows Mobile 6.1 - 'Letter Recognition' - app... That was great to use when you got into the way of it. It was much faster than any other method I've found especially when mixing letters, numbers and characters when writing spreadsheets etc etc etc...
Thanks for listening and here's hoping...

We got my Dad a Note 8.0 for Christmas because his old iPaq h2210 was really showing its age. He has OCD and writes down most everything he does every day. He really wanted a stylus input that has similar handwriting recognition to Windows CE. Is there an app that handles input in a similar way? What I mean is you write one letter at a time and it recognizes that letter and types it on the screen. As opposed to just writing the whole word at once. Any help would be appreciated.
There's quite a few apps that do this. Some are the old school she writing much like Windows block recognizer.
The built in writing app on the note 8 I believe can do individual stroke recognition. I've not tried it.
Other wise check out an app (via google) called grafitti. It is much like the windows version of old.
Hope this helps.
