HTC IME with Speech to Text

Hello!
Sorry if this has been asked and answered but I searched for it and could not find any info, although I swear I read a post about it the other day.
Anyway, where can I get the HTC IME with the Text to Speech function? Im on Tainted Vanilla and want to add that IME to it..
thanks.

I posted this the other day but it didn't seem like anyone cared.

I took the HTC_IME keyboard with voice input from the leaked myTouch Slide ROM and to my surprise it worked on the Eris. The only problem I've noticed is the user dictionary will crash when you try to open it. If someone would like to fix it that would be great.
While I think you're better off with jonasl's HTC_IME mod I think some people may prefer this.
Download HTC_IME-vi.zip (mirrors)
Download HTC_IME-vi-undo.zip (mirrors)
Copy HTC_IME-vi.zip to your sdcard and flash it as you would any other zip.
Flash HTC_IME-vi-undo.zip to get rid of this keyboard and go back to the default HTC_IME.
I don't know what will happen if you use this on a ported Hero or other custom ROM. I can tell you that it works on a plain rooted ROM.

I cared. Used your link to jonasl and it works great. Sorry about not acknowledging your contribution.

Are you looking for the vanilla keyboard? It's here http://android.grdlock.net/ under the extra's section

I downloaded and installed the HTC_IME Mod and when I went to use it for the first time I got a security message saying that any text entered including conversations, passwords, and credit card information can be recorded and sent to the developer.
I am deleting it right away ! ! !

That's the default message you see when you install a keyboard. You'll see the same thing if you try Swype. But don't install if you're not comfortable

Ohh, I see. I am new to all this.. So this program can not capture that information then? What is Swipe?

What does "flash" mean? if i want to get rid og the new HTC_IME..how do i flash it?
Thanks

I can't believe an image with Google results for "white people smell" is considered offensive. Jesus Christ lighten up.

I suppose in theory it could, but the one I posted is straight from an HTC ROM and the HTC_IME mod has the source available. If there was anything fishy in it someone would've spotted it by now. This is Swype.

It means you would flash it like any other zip through the recovery menu. This is only for rooted phones.

So who else despises the EVO soft keyboard?

I dont understand why HTC didn't just use the Desire's keyboard. Instead just added really annoying arrows, and in result I find myself constantly hitting these arrows instead of the space or enter keys. Typing is a mess.
Well, no longer. Just wanted to let you guys know jonasl's modded htc keyboard works PERFECTLY. NO MORE ARROWS. YAY!

how do you navigate without a track pad?

swype all the way for me, can't even type on the reg keyboard without having to fix every single word

Trackpad? With a 4.3 inch touchscreen? I dont need arrows when i can just pan around the screen with my finger. But im coming from an iPhone.

Actually Swype was the first thing I tried. But its not for me. I can type fast using swype but faster on a qwerty. Also, I am constantly typing in different languages and sometimes I simply cannot rely on any kind of prediction.

I realize this is kind of weird, but have you tried just using the Swype keyboard like a normal keyboard? for some reason I feel like it is easier to use than the other keyboard that way. And you could always practice with swyping, you might get pretty good at it!

I did! But sometimes I move so fast between keys it actually thinks I'm swiping. Plus It would still try to "correct' words that were typed in another language into english, no matter how accurately I touched each button.

You might try Shapewriter out. I believe you can add custom libraries to it, so you could add other languages you type in the same file as your English library.

How is swype for dealing with words that aren't necessarily regularly part of the english language? I tend to use my phone for searching for device model numbers for example, and sense annoys me somewhat because it autocorrects words that aren't actually words but model nomenclatures.

good, you can add words to the swype dictionary by typing it in and pushing the "swype key"

You must be really slow at Swype if you're faster with QWERTY. @[email protected]

I also like SmartKeyBoard Pro which is more IPHONE like for some.
But bottom line folks is that you have choices. If this were an IPHONE and you didn't like the keyboard what options for you have? That is the main point of arguement between the two camps.
Both have their good points and bad points. We are not required to buy either. We can go back to the Motorola Razr Ver(xx) if we wanted to.
If the new IPHONE had at least a 3.8 or 4.0 screen I would use my upgrade and get one to have. But I am very happy with the EVO and I look foward to Froyo 2.2 update that has everything working on it.

Sick of the 'stock' keyboards.

I find the button to close together, even the android keyboard. What do yall think of them? What do yall recommend for big fingered dudes? Also, how hard is it to install a new keyboard?

I agree the Android keyboard is 'meh'. While I do wish the Standard keyboard had a larger space bar, otherwise I love it, I like Betterkeyboard with the Glass Orb skin. I know it doesn't affect the actual key size but I find that I'm a lot more accurate with that skin than others. Plus they have the Compact keyboard mode which may help. It was worth cost to me.

The HTC_IME mod is great...

And IF it still is too small, you can set it to show up as an old-style phone keyboard with the 12 keys, and then it will use t9 spelling for you...

I cant recommend shapewriter highly enough. Once you have used it (or similar, swype for eg) you will not want to go back to the normal "tapping" method.
PM me if you want the apk.

Yeah, HTC touch input is very cool. Smart keyboard pro is also nice, but if your fingers are THAT big, I'd suggest Blindtype

lol shapewriter can be found in the market

been trying a lot of different keypads. Swiftkey is pretty good for the language and predictive options but not much space between the keys like all the others. No matter what keypad i try i still seem to be going back to the htc one.
They really should release it onto the market officially.

I use smart keyboard and just recently gone pro with it .

Not in mine

What about ultra keyboard? I love it, everything is configurable!

I have the same problem that I don't like any of the keyboards out there.
Swype is slow for me - I only speed up if I swipe the same word over and over again, which rarely happens in real life.
T9 and Ultra requires too many corrections and having to double or triple tap to get the exact letter you want is annoying when the prediction doesn't get it right.
Other keyboards the keys are too small especially if you have to type anything a bit unusual. Blindtype would have the same problem though it's not available yet.
Anything else out there?

i have tried a whole dozen before someone here recommend shapewriter, it's really that good, once i got used to it, i don't even want to use 'keyboard' on my phone anymore

Shapewriter 3.0.9 (Non-expiring) : http://www.mediafire.com/?qwffb21f0804twk

Try Swift Key.........i prefer it over Skype and Stock

SlideIT for the best "exotic language support" gets my vote. Has about 18 languages supported - including the Nordics, including different keyboard layouts (so you'll see the national keys, too). Current version (2.x) looks professional enough, too. A nice bonus is the single-key language switcher.
Shapewriter has a nicer key-spacing, so less error-prone, but lacks advance language support feats. If they get the Nordics fixed, it'd be a good choice too.
Swype looks good but seems lag-ridden, at least enough for me not to trounce SlideIT at present (let's see, if Nordic languages come by).
Bottom line: since I found Shapewriter, and later SlideIT, I haven't looked back to the traditional tap-tap-tap-keyboards - no matter how polished, no matter how good their prediction is. Speed, and even a reduced error rate (at times, only!) - two top reasons to start using a sliding keyboard.
Give them a try. A good try. Once you get beyond that initial WT... barrier, writing on your phone will never be the same.

Just tried shapewriter on the evo and I have to second that so far it is better than swype. I just like the fact that is it real easy to add words to the dictionary.

I have now swiftkey, its new and so far it's working well

I had a few problems with the latest update of Swype.. UNTIL... I changed some of the settings (found the problem on there website, can't recall what the changes were now..) but now it's fantastic again.. and the sliding from the swype key to the Sym key to get the navigation keys is just genious..)..
Needless to say, I love it.. it is the proverbial dogs cogs.

homie I REALLY appreciate the fact that you took the time to hook up up with some seriously detailed knowledge; your post is far more useful than the "I like ____ more than ___."
Per your rec's, I actually will try both alternatives, because I ran out of Swype beta time and I couldn't find a lasting apk
Time for a new keyboard [again]!

dictionary

Guys when u are writing something on galaxy s2 do u think the dictionary sucks i mean is there any other dictionary that similar to iphone or HTC?

Try SwiftKey. It adds stuff to its dictionary by analysing your SMS and emails, so when it predicts something, it's usually going off things you've typed before. I've had full sentences predicted for me just by starting the first word!
It is a paid app, but it's very much worth it. Also (another little treat it has) you can turn cursor keys on and off. It's worth paying just for that!

Personally, I think it's better than the HTC and iPhone keyboards, but that's obviously just my opinion. If you're struggling with SwiftKey then I think you need to just take your time a bit more when typing, until you get the hang of it, because SwiftKey really does make typing a breeze, even without using the predictive text.

I find that the dictionary is quite good ... BUT ... HTC and the default Android keyboard include contact names and more locations and standard words like GMail and android (with an uppercase 'A'), Samsung doesn't do that.
Also anyone know how to stop the keyboard from trying to always autocorrect, I want to see suggestions but I rather not have it try and force a word on me. Also why must it add every one word to the dictionary, not every word I time is worthy ~.~ ...

Any developments on this? Also anyone know how I can turn the whole add to my dictionary thing off automatically. I want to choose what I want to add not for everything to just add itself if it is a new word.

[Q] [SWIPE] Samsung keyboard not user friendly

Hello guys
I am not sure if I am the only one being annoyed with it but... I installed a custom ROM ALLIANCE v5.5
I am using the swipe native keyboard from Samsung and so far I LOVE it ... BUUUUUT
1/ when I type a wrong word, I have to delete back letter by letter (in previous versions, backspace button was erasing the full word and it was more friendly)
2/ If I type an entire sentence and I notice some words are wrong, and I need to correct a letter, and press the "proposed word" to go faster, it adds an additional space after.
That may sounds like boring ****, but it is noticeable when you text or write an email to someone...
I remember it was not occuring with previous versions.
I tried to mention it to ALLIANCE ROM thread but no reply.
Any idea where I could get another version?
Thanks guys

Maybe you can test 3rd app like swipe keyboard (the best) or swiftkey
Dunno where you can find the one you search.
What version exactly do you search?
