How about an app to add a space after each word typed? Its such a pain to hit the space bar each time and it can be faulty like ill forget to hit it and it jacks the words up. So basically use a dictionary from t9 or something and make it so when the word is finished being typed there will be a space added. Maybe this is not as easy as sound but I hope that someone can do this! Thanks
Why not create a timemachine which would slow down time? That would even save more ... Its kinda impossible to create a tool for this because it couldnt recognize the kind of word. As example I want to write "messages" but the tool make automatically a space after I wrote "message" so it only would make problems! Nice try of idea but it unfortunalty failed
You can enable this in the input options, can't you?
Shapewriter and Swype do this.
You can type a sentence at once and it will work out the spaces for you.
This belongs in the Q&A section
and moreover... use the Search function.. there are a few SIPs which already do that.
thank you

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

many thanks,

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

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!
One of the bugbears I have with WM is that if you do not notice that the autocomplete/autocorrect/T9 feature has suggested the wrong word for you, as soon as you add a space or punctuation - that's it.. the word is entered.
On Nokias for example, if you use the cursor to go backwards, the word is selected once again and you can choose from the suggested options to get the correct word.
It seems to me that on WM, the only choice you have is to delete the word and re enter it. Which is a major pain!
Does anyone know of a way around this? I've tried googling and searching this forum and can't see anything obvious...
Cheers
Maybe because noone is using T9/auto-correct?
Might seem like a stupid answer, but I haven't used that at all. Only use the full qwerty in both landscape and portrait, goes blazingly fast with a little practice hehe
All phones I've had over the past god knows how many years have all had the ability to automatically save any new words that I might type, but my HD2 does not seem to do so.
What I mean by this is that if I type a word that is not in the phone's dictionary/predictive text, if I manually typed in the word without the predictive text it would remember it for next time, and each time after that. Or in the case of the iphone it would remember it and be able to use it in the auto correct feature. However, the HD2 doesn't. Can you set it so that it does? I've seen in the hints and tips section that you can manually add to the words recognised by predictive text, but not found anything that suggests how it can 'autosave' words.
Any ideas? I'd be amazed if a phone like this hasn't got this feature, as like I said you've been able to do it on other phones for years.
Cheers

It learns gradually from your typing and language style. There is no way to force a word into the dictionary (through the UI), but if you've typed it a few times, and selected it from the suggestions, it just starts to show up. I think it's just a list of suggestions sorted in the order of most commonly used.
It does for me.
You write the full word and it appears as a marked word(as seen in pic nr one). When it does just press it ones and the next time you begin writing it it should suggest it(pic two).

Hmm, mine doesn't seem to do that. When you write the word for the first time do you have it in XT9 or ABC mode?
Also I've just noticed your name. Are you named after the town or the furniture?
I believe that the suggestions are add automatically... To see and add directly..
Navigate to the windows directory and look for
"eT9MyWords.exe"
That will launch the application with the words in.
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

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.

HI All I am a noob to the Arc, I literally just took it out of the box and started using it. I find it too be AMAZING. What a phone it is! However, I have one question when using the New word prediction thing, if you cannot find the word in the list how can you opt to spell it in and add to the dictionary , I am googling it now trying to find it but having trouble.
Thanks so much all and Hi I'm Amanda from Australia

You need to add them to the user dictionary. Go to settings>language and keyboard> user dictionary and add the words.
From my experience, words that aren't in the dictionary already pop up as suggestions the next time i try to type them. My word suggestion setting is "sloppy typing without auto correction". You can find it under language and keyboard> default input settings > quick text settings > word suggestions.
hope it helps
The easiest way is to disable all this
If I understood you correctly then,
Just type what you want to and press space, if your word is changed to something unwanted just press backspace... you will see your word....
Thats it... Your phone learns new words... so next time you type the same thing you will see your word highlighted in the suggestions...
Hope I could help...!!1

Give Swiftkey Beta X from the Market a try...its free for now and is really impressive. It will automagically learn your typing habbits. Ive been using it for a week and cant imagine using another keyboard.
