Does anyone have experience with adding keyboard layouts to the Freedom Universal Keyboard2 driver for languages, which are not originally supported?
I recently bought the keyboard, and it does have a neat settings interface for language switching, problem is that it does not support the language layout I need which would be Slovak (QWERTY).
I have a Blackstone, running WM6.1...
how much did u buy it? n how is it with your pda?
Bought it from an online shop, but they don't have the localized drivers. It works quite well, the synchronisation process is a pain in the ass though, you have to do it every time you turn the keyboard on. Other than that, it's ok.
It feels much like a laptop keyboard, with the difference that the SPACE key is separated into two, so people who learned 10-finger type writing might have a problem with that (thumb often hits SPACE right where it's separated, and instead of one, you type two)
could you point me to the online shop u bought at?
Unless you are from the Czech republic I don't think the link will help you. International shipping costs would be through the roof.
Is this possible at all? I've been trying to find out how to do it but I get way too many results about other keyboards or other iterations of HTC's keyboard...
Anyway, I can't seem to figure out how to do it on my EVO, kind of indispensable since I switch a lot from English to Spanish mid-message (and vice versa)... Whenever I type anything in Spanish I end up inadvertently adding words to the dictionary, and the alternative would be to have no auto-correction which would suck.
So can anybody help an Android noobie out? I've been meaning to try Swype (which I'm told has a key for language switching) but I wanted to have the option of using either keyboard anyway.
I heard the keyboard for WP7 is nice by default and ill find that out when i get my phone in a couple days but i was wondering if there will be any other keyboards for WP7 like Android has SWYPE. Do you think they will come with the upcoming updates , apps on the marketplace, or with the WP7 "Jailbreak"?
There are no other keyboards available at this time.
However, I can say that the WP7 keyboard is, in my opinion, the finest software keyboard on the market, hands down.
Swype and the HTC IME keyboards on android are good.. but they pale in comparison to this one in my experience.
Agree 100%.
The buttons are not bigger than Android..but I seem to be able to type more accurately on WP7. No idea why. Nice, nontheless.
I've bought my device (HTC HD7) in Germany and it doesn't have Cyrillic keyboard. It's not a problem for me to use English interface, device supports displaying Cyrillic fonts but I can't type text on two Cyrillic languages which I'm using the most.
Do not having the ability to add Cyrillic keyboard at the moment is THE MOST ANNOYING thing with the device. I simply can't use it for basic needs like writing SMS or e-mail to somebody on my native language. When buying the device I thought that It shouldn't be a problem adding a keyboard but now I am very disappointed. Need to use second device (old Nokia smartphone) each time when I should write something on Cyrillic on the way. Ironically, HD7 does not support sharing Internet connection to my secondary device, so I have to pay for two Internet-enabled plans which makes me completely unhappy.
Is any way to help me without selling the device back?
Hi guys, do you know how can I get Russian keyboard on my spanish WP7 LG e900?

are wp7 devices sold in countries that use that language? If not, I'm not sure you will get any support from microsoft until they are.

From about three weeks of use so far, I'd say it's the second-best software keyboard I've ever used, after the iPhone keyboard. I can usually type faster than I could on the HTC keyboards on WM and Android. On the iPhone I could type without even looking down because the autocorrect works amazingly well for the most part-- not quite there yet on WP7 (despite a physically larger screen and thus keyboard), but almost.
For now, there's no way to replace the keyboard, though for standard use, you probably won't need a replacement one. Makes sense for non-Latin characters, but WP7 basically lacks Unicode support (very few character sets built in), so it can't do much for non-Latin scripts anyway.
I find WP7 to have the second best keyboard ever, too. But, I disagree in that I find it more accurate than the iPhone keyboard (or at least better at autocorrection). I find the autocorrect makes fewer contextual errors and will allow many intentional strange words while correcting most typing errors.
However, the keyboard on my Blackberry 9700 still rocks the Optimus 7
I dunno, but I don't think I will ever be as efficient in typing on the virtual keyboard as the real one. Aside from accuracy, it is simply far easier to enter common symbols (like quotes, dollar signs, dashes, and parenthesis) and numbers. Parltly because physical keys allows for more accurate smaller keys. Also, having a real mouse-like cursor is massively useful for typing and editing.
Ok fine, yes, there are WP7 devices with slider keyboards, but I dislike sliders... yes, yes, I'm picky.

well when phones start coming out with the chassy 3 (candy bar style) then you will have a windows phone which also has the same layout as your blackberry.

SlideIT Keyboard is currently half off in the market for New Years. I doubt it beats Swype, but add it currently doesn't work on tablets, I bit the bullet and bought it. Well worth the expense at $4.
It's working on tablets

Thanks for this thread.
I actually acquired the SlideIT for my Samsung Galaxy i9000 mobile device & have a very strange issue with it.
Since yesterday, I have been using the "h*ck*d" version I found on Applanet and it was running greatly - so, as I was very satisfied with it I decided to support the developer and buy the official version
Well - I uninstalled my Applanet version, bought, downloaded and installed the official Market version - .. but it would not run properly.
Although the default language is set as "English", whenever I swype an English term, the keyboard suddenly comes up only with "??" instead of a proper word suggestion. But it used to work with the other version I had from Applanet.
* I have checked the settings, no other Keyboard is ticked
* I have checked the language setting yes - English is set as "Primary Language"
* I thought I might have to install the English language pack, but it is not available in the Market how come? German, Dutch, etc. everything there, but no English
Anyone else has experienced similar or different troubles with SlideIT (official version)?
I'd be thankful for any help.
I got the SlideIT keyboard working fine on the Archos 101. Though fine doesn't mean "without issues." First, the keys on the right side while in landscape mode are somewhat shaved off. Second...the keyboard is FRICKEN HUGE! I mean seriously, it is ridiculously huge...like the clown shoes of on-screen keyboards.
I think I will keep pestering the people over on the Swype forums to make their keyboard work on tablets. LOL
I have used Swype for a long time on my pocket pc but haven't been as happy with it on the Archos 70. I saw this video on youtube comparing Swype and FlexT9. I have to say I prefer T9 and the speech to text works surprising good. Try it for yourself it was around five bucks. I can't post the link so do a search on youtube FlexT9.
Hello alli
I'm having troubles finding a keyboard that has a Turkish dictionary and where I can disable the accented chars(İ,ı,ç,ş,ğ) since using them reduces the max char to 60 in SMS.
I used to use HTC_IME where I could just tell the program to replace those chars with simple ones, but since HTC_IME isn't compatible with ICS/Nexus I ended up having to use the def. keyboard which doesn't have much of a choice when it comes to dictionaries(Turkish isn't there)
Swype and Swiftkey X lacks the option, or I couldn't find how to.
Any help?
Thank you.
(Just to make sure I could tell what I wanted to, for example if I'm trying to type something like "açılmış" I would want the keyb. to recognize the accents, and if it finds the word in it's dictionary, it should automatically turn the word to "acilmis" so that I won't be having any problems with max char count.)
Bump!
No one has an opinion?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Been nearly a month and still no solutions.
I wonder what people use, like who speak Polish or speak other languages that have many accents?
