TapTap Keyboard - write without stylus!

Hello all,
maybe many of you tryed my previous application for SMS writing TapTapSMS and maybe you like this new way of text inputing. So here is NEW native SIP (software keyboard) for your PocketPC (all resolutions - WM5, 6, 6.1, 6.5 and 6.5.3). I must mention that you must get used to this new technology because it differs a lot from the classic PC-like input method. It's because standard PocketPC (without hardware keyboard) differs a lot from the classic PC. So enough about it... try it!
P/S: It chanced that I found a THIEF who stole my technology without any word that I'M THE AUTHOR OF THIS UNIQUE TYPING METHOD: http://tikilabs.com/app/tikinotes/
UPDATE1: VGA version available
UPDATE2: New black skin!
UPDATE3: Fixed missing equal char ("=") and some other chars added.
UPDATE4: Fixed uninstall problem.
UPDATE5: Now supporting custom layouts and skins.
UPDATE6: I have added new US/German optimized layout to customize section.
UPDATE7: Added two new panels (navigation panel & basic operations panel).
UPDATE8: Added HVGA version.

bkf1,
i tried ur keyboard and find its the right screen size. only thing i don't like its the repetitive taping to choose a letter. it would be better if u make one tap and give options kinna like T9.

Hi, idea is quite interesting. Is possible to create it as SIP? So it's usable with others programs, not just writing SMS?

I'm sorry. It is SIP. At first I clicked at TapTapSMS link. Really good work

right, as a SIP and with word completion/suggestion/correction and skinning it would be very nice. I write a lot on my device but hardly any SMS

TO Hundera:

UPDATE: VGA versions (low/high resolution) available!

please a request
can someone put a cab file here? thanks in advace

I have already downloaded them If you want VGA version with high-res graphics you must download it from my site Use any downloader (e.g. Download Accelerator, DownThemAll (Firefox plugin), etc.).

New black skin... !!!

Big BMP images replaced with small PNG images... so now it's smaller especially the VGA version...

I'll try this out and report back. Thank you.

It's freezing Sorry to you all I must replace it with previous version

UPDATE: Fixed uninstall problem.

Suggestion
I like your app.
i suggest that after tapping a letter i prefer that we stay at the same group of letters and if we want to change another group we tap on the back button thanks.

While long-term testing I have found out that I need to use chars from other char panels more frequently than from currently selected char panel. Anyway thanks for your suggestion

thanks for your answer.

Great idea but I must admit I had thought of a similar method myself but lack the time or patience to implement myself, so I figure i'll see if you want to do anything with it
Same idea, click on a group of letters and it brings them up larger, but instead of grouping a,b,c,d,e etc into 1 group, why not group it as it appears on a standard keyboard? it'd be more intuitive for most people as the same keys are found in the same general area as a normal keyboard...
So have what looks like the normal WM keyboard on the screen, but have thicker lines seperating the different groups. So left of the keyboard can be the letters q,w,e,r,a,s,d,z,x then have t,y,f,g,h,c,v,b,n as the next group followed by u,i,o,j,k,l,m or something along those lines? Basically it has the user looking for certain keys in the same places as there already used to.
It's just a thought but a good one I think personally though others may not agree

It is definitely very precise.
While I like this aspect of it I do like the idea of a qwerty layout however.

Believe me I have tried the QERTY layout (btw there are only 7 keys, the 8th is for ENTER) but typing with it is very hard to learn (remember a,b,c,d,e,f,g it's much more easier than e.g. q,w,e,r,t,y,u). It's because this keyboard HAS NOTHING COMMON with the other keyboards. This is completelly new original type method.

TouchPal v3 now released. Anyone want to design a good skin?

http://www.cootek.com
TOUCHPAL
What's new in V3?
Thanks to our customer feedback and their support to our continueous innovation, there're a bunch of new features in V3:
* Now you can "flow" your keyboard by sliding left or right!
* Support two more layouts: single-key layout and 9-key layout.
* Press-hold a key will expand all the characters on that key, including the accented letters (e.g., "a" for "á").
* Prediction is now based on context.
A lot more features and enhancements are available in V3. A detail list of new stuffs in V3 >>

The skins are now customisable, but I find the default one is a bit boring.
Anyone care to enhance it?

Their new mistype correction is amazing!

Hebrewwwwwwww!
ok.. to be more specific than just yelling "HEBREW"... we israelies are having problems with writing in Hebrew in our keyboards after upgrading to WM6 because Eyron is dumb. (atleast in my eyes). and paragon supports only hebrew screen keyboard writing and not the physical keyboard. i believe that if they added hebrew to touchpal many israelies would buy it.
something to think about.

great news, installed already can't help with the skins though.

Ok, because no one was doing anything about a terrible standard skin , I changed all available png files to black and white in a graphic program. That did not take care of some backgrounds (ie help tag) and there is still a blue line across the keyboard. But I have no clue how to sort these out... Can anyone help?
BTW this SIP is amazing.

If you want more skins, look here: http://www.cootek.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=6

This software is the best input i ever use how do you think frens?

I have seen the V3 preview you tube...and it has the old v2 skin which i love ---- pity they have not released a skin pack for it as yet

I've tried a bunch of keyboard programs and I have to say that this one is my favorite. Took just a bit of getting used to though. I just wish the installer didn't ask so many questions. That makes it tought to use UC.

i've attached the CAB if anyone wants it. Its a 15 day trial of Pro, then reverts to Standard.

Hebrew Lang Pack
Can't wait for it to come out.. i need a comfortable hebrew keyboard so bad.

Any way to alter rows & columns with skins?
I doubt this can be done because I didn't see anything about it on Cooktek's tutorial, but can you only change the keyboard color with skins?
I was excited to see that this new version adds a 9-key (usually that would be called a 12-key) layout because I like that for one-handed typing a lot, but it looks like you're still stuck with 5 columns.
I would much prefer to have bigger button in 3 columns like the htc keypad for portrait mode. Only problem with that one is the "side-effects" of XT9.
So is there any way to skin this new version and change the layout to 3 columns in portrait mode?

The awful sound
can i get rid of the nasty sound when i scroll left or right to select new keyboard layout...it makes a sound like a bomb is about to land on you
fixed: go to option and scroll until you find a selection to disable it.

This is a great keyboard. Amazing!
Just one question though, is there a way to change the color from blue to black?

Is there a way to change keys' disposition?
I mean... Can I move the "?" from the original position to a different one?

I had the same problem too. And resetting (of course) loses the changes you were trying to make in Phone Settings.
I am also wondering why I can't apply any TSK - the background always remains blue

Spanish
Is going to be a Spanish version?

SWEET D/L
good luck to you (and to us)

Great stuff!
Finally a ROM with TomTom build in.

[APP][WM6.5] Magnifier setup (24th Aug) - beta

[APP][WM6.5] Magnifier Configurator (24th Aug) - beta
Hello,
since I'm about to develop WM application, I wanted to get into WM restrictions for C#.
So there the app is - it lets you setup Magnifier (setting timeouts, enabling "features", ..) plus adding/deleting apps in which will be Magnifier disabled.
It was built for QVGA on WM6.5 build 23034 CSY, but it should run on all resolutions.
It needs .NET compact framework!

}
Just copy it to your device (anywhere) and run the .exe.
It is early beta version, it will probably fail to set some parameters properly (converting from bool to dword is the biggest problem), so when you find something, tell me. Thanks.
Also, some settings (I've done it from registry, I hope I got all options named correctly) might not work as expected, but that must fix MS in WM itself (like Ellipse option).
Current version: Magnifier_beta2.zip
Old versions
Magnifier_beta.zip - missing SIP and menu icons

Known options:
Enabled - enables/disables whole magnifier
Bilinear -
Elipse - currently buggy when enabled, not sure what it is supposed to do
Show crosshair - shows (or does not) crosshair when opened
Use High Fidelity - when you open magnifier and then try to move it to somewhere else, it still shows the original position, you must wait till it closes to show different place
Resize For High Fidelity -
Crosshair Length - Length of Crosshair
Crosshair Thickness - Thickness of Crosshair
Doubletap Distance - Max distance between taps to open magnifier
Doubletap Time - Maximum time it will wait for "doubletap" to open magnifier
Deactivate Delay - time before it starts disappearing
Fade Duration - Time how long it will take to disappear completely
Height -
Max Window Size -
Width -
The free ones are still waiting to investigate.
If you think that one of these is incorrect, post me that and I'll fix it.

-- reserved one more (no more needed, thanks)

Ooh. Nice tool
This looks very useful.
Thanks!

I guess that some settings might not work (like staying (un)checked) so just tell me (I always write Elipse instead of Ellipse and always search for this mistake half an hour ).
PS: You must reboot after saving changes to getting it to work of course.

Very excited about this could relieve alot of issues with my tap response in opera and such!!! Thank you for this!!!!

Well.This is great however I have a major issue. No SIP so I can't type anything in. I'm trying this on my Omnia which is 240X400 and the bottom bar is completly covered and I don't have a hard keyboard.

*Edit Using My Mobiler in the meantime and this works!!!!

I totally forgot adding SIP since I have HW keyboard, sorry, I'll fix it ASAP.

Added to first post with added MainMenu control (Start button, X/OK and SIP) - Magnifier_beta2.zip

great job ondraster will test it later and let you know how it works.

Hey thanks for the great tool. I was in need of this...
Best Regards

Thanks. Good!!!

Thanks man! useful app.
have to ask though, how did you get those nice icons for the new bottom taskbar as in the screenshot?

I'm creating new WM theme for myself, you can get them on internet, resize them to 16x16px (PNG) and then name them as <themename>_bubble_flag.png and _bubble_ok.png and _bubble_foo.png if I remember right (I'm not at home at this moment, sorry).

Go to Settings>Personal>Input
Select "Keyboard" as your input method and select small keys. Then press OK.
The picture you showed is actually the traditional old school keyboard with large keys, so the numerical keys are hidden. Select small keys and they should be back up.

Ok, responding to myself, I just found how to have this keyboard again!!
Apparently the keyboard is there all the time, at least in the roms that I've tested but the cookers don't enable it!!!
On the other day, accidentally I saw a cab on the Cloudy's rom that was to enable the "old" M$ keyboard.
I was (and I'm still) not using Cloudy's rom but decide to try if it works. Install it and puff there it was in all is glory!!!
Here is the link for that cab,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5410858&postcount=278
Many thkx to Cloudy for this one and a hands down to the rest of the cookers for hiding this feature. Worst than hiding is not to give a cab for this as I many times asked for it...

Fifty thumbs up. I've even posted a thread asking for this months ago. Just did a hard reset and decided to try my luck.
I have been in hell with the other keyboards. This is the missing piece for me.
Cheers to cloud and you, OP.
