Predictive Text Options

[highfell]

Using the TKR (including their kernel), there is predictive text using the on screen keyboard.

I have switched to the Cacko Kernel to overcome communication issues with my sonyericsson mobile, but this predictive text feature appears to be missing.

Does anyone know if there is an IPK out there that can reintroduce this for me?

Many thanks

Try installing the Sharp "Word Game" thats what I had to do after I upgraded from ROM 2.38 to 3.13. Do a search on Word matcher for more info. on it!

I use the Japanese software QPOBox.

It's for Japanese input, being predictive.

However it's predictive for anything, you can enter English text and it learns really fast, it monitors your writing habits, then offers the words that should be used right away, it takes into account the frequency of use of each word etc.

I think it's very good.

Another great tool is Dasher. I don't know if it runs on a zaurus... and it is internationnal!

Gonna get this...

[alan]

infos available here :

http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher/

there is a pocket pc version, so it might be usable on other pda's. Source code is availiable. Any volunteer ?

[alan]

damm, i am stupid!!! you were talking about keaboard prediction... but still, any volunteer ?

Dasher is available on the Z. I've used it.

Can't remember where it came from though - there's a dasher ipk in one of the OZ feeds, but I think I got it from someone's web site. Try a search.

You can get QPOBox from here http://takahr.dhis.portside.net/cgi-bin/rw...iew;name=QPOBox

The site's all in Japanese, the direct link for the ipkg is http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cv8t-hdk/archi...x_0.4.2_arm.ipk

or an older version http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cv8t-hdk/archi...x_0.3.6_arm.ipk

You must also install POBoxServer from http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cv8t-hdk/archi..._1.25-4_arm.ipk

First install the POBOXServer then QPOBox, your Zaurus will reboot, if it doesn't reboot yourself. After a reboot you will have another input method at the lower lefthand side called QPOBox.

Just select it and go into some text entry app and start typing, when you select it a little text entry rectangle will appear at the bottom. You will have to enter first the whole word, then any time you type it again it will jump up. To see what I mean just type a couple of sentences, you'll see how fast it gets.

The way to type is start typing, below the text entry rectangle available choices will pop up, don't worry if some of them are Japanese, when you see the word you wanna type hit space as many times as you need to get to it, when it's highlighted just start typing the next word.

Does QPOBox works with pdaXrom (Xwindows)??

Nope its for qtopia - you could probably port it across - but don't know how easy it would be.

So is there any Japanese input method for pdaXrom?

Qpobox is great, except for one little problem:
How do you add a normal space? I start typing a word, then when my desired word appears I press space to get to it and then I start typing the next word.
But then the next word appers directly after the previous one without any space in between. How do you solve this little problem?

You have to use the KeyHelper app in connection with QPOBox for this. You can get KeyHelper from http://yakty.s31.xrea.com/linuzau/keyhelper/ or if you use Cacko ROM it already has KeyHelper functionality built-in.

Then in both cases, do the following:

1. In the ~/Settings/qpobox.conf file in the [global] section, add

UseKeyHelper = 1

2. In the ~/Settings/keyhelper.xml file in the <mapping> section, add the following lines:

<define key="Space">
  <modifier Shift="On"/>
  <map key="Space"/>
  <map_modifier Shift="Off"/>
</define>

and reboot. After this, when you press Shift+Space, it'll enter a space into the text directly.

Also, you can do the following, which is great:

3. In the ~/Settings/keyhelper.conf file in the [Launch] section, add

F21 = @qcop  QPE/QPOBox show()

4. In the ~/Settings/keyhelper.xml file in the <extensions> section, add the following lines:

<define key="F21" kind="launch">
</define>

and reboot. This will then activate the original Japanese key (second to the right next to the Fn key) to be the QPOBox activator, i.e. you press it QPOBox comes up, no need to activate it via the stylus, you press the key again QPOBox goes down and so...
