Hi,

More information and explaination http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard.php
What's new in 0.14?
- Autocomplete feature (will propose to complete a word if no other suggestion can be made)
- 2 gesture support: space and backspace (slide left to right, or right to left)
- Internal change in the data structure, should be a lot faster and consume a less memory
- Bug fixes: option dialog, layout association dropped after selecting a skin, ...
- Updated some layout and dictionary
Thanks to all the people that have donated for PocketCM software, and due to the lack of free time, I've decided to remove the time limitation in PocketCM Keyboard, you can now use it for free (personal use), without any restriction in feature or timing. Of course, donations are still appreciated!

Very excellent program!
I forward the comment I made in the Contact Manager thread:
If the keyboard background could be customizable, we can draw the "spacial" keys (\N \M \B) directly onto the background or, even better, we can create separate PNG files (with trasparency) that will be displayed over the corresponding key (so the keys layout will remain fully customizable).

I don't understand you. If you need another keyboard layout, you can make one. Or you're asking something else?

Can not use it - instead of this nice keyboard I have the standard keyboard. I have a russian localized rom and it seems that the probleme is related to that fact

I tried to use with the keyboard but many of our word is with åäö och the keyboard can't "find" the words from T9.

This program has great potential and it is just what i have been looking for, thanks for all your hard work in all your programs, anyways my only problem is that it isn't as quick as i would like it to be, otherwise great software.

All I've got to say is "Bad. . . Ass. . ." lol Great job as usual Tene.

What do you mean, what not fast enough? what kind of device you have?
It runs decently on my 200Mhz device.
If it's the time to suggest that seems to long, you can reduce the dictionnary size, the current one has 21887 words, you can probably get better result with let say 2000 words, I'm sure you don't use stupendous, pasteurization and extemporaneous that often

Tene: next version needs disabling the word suggestion. I cant use it since its replacing the polish text to english.

Ya i think that must be it thanks for da quick reply

its a bit faster when i delete the french dictionary and stuff, but maybe in future releases you could have an option to completely turn off the suggestion bar, just an idea

How do you edit the dictionary?.
Edit. Nevermind, I'm a tool.

can you add a delay time on the letter pop up? like 1 sec?

I love this but I have to agree about killing the word suggestion. I tried to type the name Lisa and it kept changing it to kiss, it was really annoying.

great apps, tene. been trying to find something where i can use a finger. t9 takes half the screen and is not ideal. just need some nice skin to go along with it.

*bows down to the developer*...One major grudge for me (with WM) has been the SIP, have tried lots of them but liked none..fancied an iPhone just for the SIP part (rest is crap for me), and now its here...lemme try and and then ill give u the feedback...

when typing SMS in PocketCM, the PCMKeyboard suggestion box blocks the view of the message i am typing.
I would suggest that the suggestion box be setup horizontally and be part of the keyboard. This will avoid this issue. Liked the scrolling in the suggestion box, horizontal scrolling will be nice!
just my wish list!

Great job on this app! However, is there any way for a 3rd party SIP to parse the built in dictionary? Oh yeah, and allow us to disable the word suggestion.

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?

Sorry about that. Thanks a lot for the help.

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

I think i´m blind, but how to change the language?
I installed the program and the german language pack, but i can´t find anything to switch to it.

Keyboard request

This may seem like a silly request, but I really struggle to type on the QWERTY keyboards because they so small. If I'm in the car etc, it becomes very difficult.
Would it be possible to get a predictive (T9, I think) keyboard for typing messages etc?
Basically like the dialler, but with predictive text like regular phones...
Hope this makes sense

I am aware of the predictive text, but as I said, I DON'T want a qwerty keyboard... I want a 9 button keypad, that works like all regular cellphones with T9......................

Somthing like this...
I'm looking for something like this:
http://www.o3touch.com/
This actually works really well accept, instead of predictive text, you hold the key down to get the next letter & it works as an application for sms & dialer only.
I'd like something like this but as a universal keyboard that can be used throughout the phone

You're a legend mate! Thank you.
Unfortunately, this one doesn't seem to be working too well on my device (P3400, running LomLom's rom with Manilla2D)
At first, it would only input numbers and after a reboot, it doesn't input anything.
But I did find this one that works like a dream:

[APK] Swype 1.60.36.8214

Tested on my own HTC Desire with OpenDesire v4.0
What is Swype?
Swype provides a faster and easier way to input text on any screen. With one continuous finger or stylus motion across the screen keyboard, the patented technology enables users to input words faster and easier than other data input methods—at over 40 words per minute. The application is designed to work across a variety of devices such as phones, tablets, game consoles, kiosks, televisions, virtual screens and more.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Simply Trace a Path
The word “quick” was generated from tracing the path shown above in a fraction of a second, by roughly aiming to pass through the letters of the word. A key advantage to Swype is that there is no need to be very accurate, enabling very rapid text entry.
Key Features
Over 40 words per minute on touchscreen devices
Standard QWERTY layout
Use a stylus or finger
Ideal for Smartphones and Tablet PCs
Multiple languages available
Supports common editing actions
Patented
SDK available now!
Single Tap Predictive Text for mobile devices
Speed and Accuracy
Swype is faster than existing text entry methods because it has built-in intelligence that does not require users to hit each letter accurately. Also, tracing a smooth, continuous path is much faster than “target-tap-lift-target-tap...”. Even novice users can quickly achieve sustained data entry speeds of over 40 words per minute.
Install process

Going to give it a go now. Had it on my Touch Pro2 a while back. Takes a bit of getting used to if i remember rightly and never really used it due to having a hard keyboard on the TP2.

I tried this on my device. Worked fine but it was actually much slower and less accurate to type Finnish than with the regular Scandinavian keyboard. Also the key layout was kinda horrible. Guess it works better with English.

Works brilliantly on my stock HTC Desire, 2.2 FroYo, not Rooted.

This is newer than the public beta. Nice job!

Glad you liked it guys

First. No it will not expire. It's the Swype from the Galaxy S phones.
Second. I think Swype have asked us to remove any Swype apks from XDA..

Swype cannot be distributed. We have already gotten requests to remove Swype on many occasions. Please stop distributing this app like this. Thread closed.
