Getting Word Completion to learn new words!

OK, this may just be a Pocket PC thing rather than a specific XDA II thing but I'm not sure.
Can anyone tell me if their XDA is learning frequently used words that are not in it's dictionary. For example, my name's Ravi and after a couple of weeks of typing emails, letters etc all ending '... Ravi', it's still not learnt the word. All it suggests is 'Ravaged' (!!)
This morning, I got a bit fed up of this so I created a note and typed in 'Ravi' about 100 times and guess what, it still doesn't learn it.
Is there a trick to getting the dictionary to learn new words or is it just my name it can't stand !!
Maybe someone else can try this and see if it works !
Ravaged

Ravi,
Did you ever sort this out?
I would love to enter a few words (including my name!) in to the database

Check out Fitaly. 60 days trial. You will be able to build own shortcuts. And I think it's a much faster SIP then the others.

I'm not sure if the XDA learns new words by itself, but you can add words. Not sure if there's a simpler way, but this (rather complicated one) works:
- open any transcriber-aware application
- write the word you want to add, using keyboard or transcriber
- mark (highlight) the word
- switch to transcriber; if the second row of icons is not visible, tap on the hand icon
- tap on the icon with the red check mark to open the "corrector window" (not sure if this is the correct translation for "Korrekturfenster" ); the highlighted word will appear in the new window
- double-tap anywhere inside the word.
- in the menu that (hopefully) comes up, chose "add to dictionary" ("Dem Wörterbuch hinzufügen")
Voila, you're all set!
But please be careful - I didn't yet find a way to remove words from the dictionary...
Cheers
Daniel

many thanks,
ashby

Never sorted it out - everyone I spoke to said that the OS doesn't add new words. I'm just about to buy Calligrapher - I tried the demo and it's amazing - I'm not sure that this feature is available on this program either though. I guess I've just given up adding new words but I will try Daniel's method outlined above.
BTW I tried Fitaly and what the hell were they thinking ? Is it supposed to be an easier input method than what we have already or is it just designed to fry your brain ?!!
TenGo's pretty decent though !
thanks all
Ravi

Getting Word Completion to learn dutch!
Does anyone know how to change the word completion dictionary on my Qtek 2020 / PPC 2003 to another dictionary / language?
It is said that in PPC 2002 you could swap the file \Windows\user.dct, but not on PPC 2003 (the file is apparently not there).

Try out WordLogic: http://www.wordlogic.net/software.html
Not cheap, but works very well!

[Q] how to access User Dictionary terms for Touch Input

I have cyanogen's rom version 3.4.6 running on the g1 I currently use touch input onscreen keyboard included, which i believe is the hero htc_IME keyboard. I love how it automatically saves new user terms to the dictionary, but occasionally it will save a term that i just spelled wrong. under my phones settings in locale and text there is the user dictionary option where i can add or delete the terms. Unfortunately this option only shows the user dictionary terms from my android keyboard and not the touch input. i have looked everywhere but i cannot find a way to view and delete the user dictionary terms for touch input..... can anybody please help me?!?!?!?!

In for answer..Been wondering the same

The dictionary is used internally by the keyboard. You can not modify it (add or remove word) unless you know the dictionary file format. But from my understanding the dictionary file format is private proprietary of Tegic software company. There's no public document about this file format

As previous stated there isn't a way to access the dictionary for Touch Input. Your best bet is to uninstall it via Manage Applications and reinstall it. Get the zip here. Push the library file. You can push the apk but it might not fit depending on your phone set up. You can simply put the apk on the root of your SD and run it using Astro or whatever file management app you're using. In the future it would behoove you to be VERY careful on adding words to Touch Input.

Thank you for the help i really appreciate it..... i'm not sure i care enough about the misspelled words to go through with deleting the app and reinstalling it...i sure wish there was an option so i could turn off the auto add feature.... oh well, i guess this is the price i pay for using a keyboard not made for my phone... thanks again!

I dont want to create another thread for a similar question. On the HTC IME how do we STOP the hardware keyboard from trying to "correct" my words as i type them? Its driving me insane.

Theres an option in the settings (gear icon key next to comma key) to turn it off completely, settings- text input and there you will see spell correction and prediction .. or whenever it automatically corrects the word hit back space asap and it will uncorrect it

I posted where the files are and how to reset it here.
However, I do not know about editing those files, you can try if you want.

[RESOLVED] No other beta-testers needed to verify spellchecking in Spanish

Hello,
I am a hobby-developer of a spellchecking-engine, in the form of a library, which other developers may add to their applications for Windows Mobile. Please see the thread in my signature for further information.
However, this time I need some help from you end-users to verify the correctness of the suggestions (replacements for misspelled words) produced by my spelling-engine. This is important so I know that the replacements are accurate and reasonable and that the word list (dictionary) I am using is good.
I need to verify Spanish, French and German so if (any) above language(s) is (are) your mother-tongue(s) or if you know them very well, please send me a PM with your e-mail (and indicating which language you would like to help me with) and I will send you a test application. For the time being, this test-application is a normal desktop Windows application (a text editor in which you can load any text file and perform spellchecking and which is good enough for the purpose of verifying the results of the spelling-engine).
Edit: No further beta-testers needed. I might need others later on when verifying other languages
In the future, I will add other languages as well. If you want some languages added and you can provide me a word list (or dictionary) of said language, please let me know.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

if/when you'll need Italian, gimme a shot

Grazie.
I had actually planned to include Italian with the current version of my spellchecker but unfortunately the only word list (dictionary) I found have all words without accents.
For instance:
arriverà - in the dictionary it is: arrivera
più - in the dictionary it is: piu
ecc.
My idea for Italian was to find maybe 10 users (or even more) who could use the spellchecker from MS Word or OpenOffice to correct the words in my current word list without accents. At the end, we would have a corrected word list which would be good. My idea was to send to each person helping with Italian, only a part from the dictionary. Let's say: Person 1 gets all words from A to C, Person 2 gets all words from D - F and so on. If you know some other Italian people who would like to help me with this, please let me know. The more we are, the faster the dictionary will be ready. What do you think?

Update: French and German is no longer needed. I need still a beta-tester for Spanish!

Hellow
I'm spanish. If you want i can test it in my free time.

If you have taken it from scrobble, yes, i did compile it this way on purpose (scrobble hasn't accents)

I think spellchechers are not so smart: you'll come out having a lot of strange words
But if you know how to convert .dic/.aff from OpenOffice dicts, here (attached) is the italian OpenOffice dictionary.
Otherwise, i'll manually convert it (as i already did for Scrobble), but we'll lose all the rules (verbs will be only in infinitive form, for example, as they are in usual dictionaries)

Ciao,
No, I didn't use the one from Scrobble. The dictionary I am using was compiled by Luigi M Bianchi and you can download a copy of the dictionary here (http://www.winedt.org/Dict/). It's very complete and lists more than 277,000 words!
However, I had a look at the dictionary you supplied to Scrobble and I think I'd like to use that one instead since it is much smaller (and more suited for Windows Mobile since less memory is required to load it). It has most verb forms present (arriva, arrivi, arriviamo ecc.). However the problem is that it is still without accents But the time needed to correct it should take less.
My spellchecking-engine does not use the Affix-system used by OpenOffice (which is using Hunspell) or likes such ASpell and ISpell. This system is far too memory-hungry (in my opinion) for Windows Mobile although I considered it. For more information what my spellchecking-engine is using, please see the link in my signature.
I tried once to expand an .aff-dictionary (with its corresponding affix-file) but I couldn't get it right. In any case, I think the end-result would be a huge dictionary.
If you still have the Scrobble-dictionary with all accents available, I'd love to use it. Otherwise, I believe that the Scrobble-dictionary would be the right candidate for creating a new dictionary WITH accents using the method mentioned in my previous post.

I should have it at home, tonight i'll check. If not, i'll convert it again and then will attach here

Here it is

What regards Spanish, German and French, I don't need any other beta-testers.
As to other languages, I might come with a new request later on.
Thank you.

Let me check this one and then I will get back to you.

[Q] Phone Key (T9) Keypad functions - how to order Words?

Hi all,
I'm using the Phone Pad, HTC default, Keyboard to type SMS, Mails, Searches etc, cuz i can't handle the qwertz (german) or the simple qwertz key pads. They suck to type SMS (for me)
All works fine (okay, adding the mouth of the smiley ) or ( is a little complicated but manageable).
But... there is a very unlogical order of the different T9 Words. My old Sony Ericsson ordered the words by how often i used them.
I don't need exactly this feature, but to order the words by my own would be nice.
the only accessible workaround is, that i have to add the words manually (then they exists twice).
Then they are the first words the phone suggests me. but this isn't very nice.
do you know some tips to help me with my problem?
how do you handle the sms typing stuff? do you all bought a extra keyboard app in the market??
kind regards
heady2k

I've started using Swiftkey as it does actually learn the words you type. It works well. I personally found it better the default keyboard and better than the much raved about Swype .
I can't post a link but you can find it on app brain.

is it free?
can u modify the words order?

Yes it is free. It learns the words you use most so you shouldn't need to manually edit the word order. Try it and see if it is better for you.

i haven't found a phone-pad layout. :/

[Guide] Samsung Japanese Keypad on non-Docomo Note II

This is for anyone interested in using the stock Japanese keyboard including Japanese handwriting.

Added to first post! Let me know if it works for you!

Thanks a lot ^^
Gonna try and will tell you if its work ^^
One problem: seems for emoji, you have to enable the emoji supported text field.
I have tried once with Google Japanese Keyboard and it unable to input DoCoMo's emoji into text field (like in email).
Is this keyboard able to input emoji (not iOS6 emoji, but DoCoMo/Japan standard emoji)?

Sorry. I'm not exactly sure what you mean.
If you mean the emoticons that use actual pictograms, I don't think this keyboard is capable of that.
As far as I know, this keyboard's emoticons are pure ascii characters (ie. (^ ^)d (^O^) \(^_^)/ ) same as the Japanese WNN keyboard.
For me, I haven't had a keyboard yet that has pictogram emoji built in. In my experience, they are built into individual messaging/mail programs as opposed to individual keyboards. If you know otherwise, please let me know.

IT WORKS!!!!! ^^

Glad to hear it! よかった！:good:

IT WORKS IN MY NOTE 8:laugh: ... thank you very much!!!.. now i can write japanese and learn japanese from my note 8 more effectively
どうもありがとうございます:victory:

so appreciated to find this thread. Thank you so much. It works! I signed up literally just for your post!
however, kind of sorry to learn that Japanese keyboard is separate. I'd thought that I could easily switch between languages with just a tap. Now still have to go through all the trouble to constantly pull down the notification menu to change keyboards. one more inconvenient thing is that the keyboard doesn't scale down when the phone is set to multiwindow mode. Hope that samsung will make some changes in the future.
とにかく　ありがとうございました！
