Great work Barry :thumbup:

Cant let my eyes off this greatfull designed keys!

Only thing i missing is the support off two or more languages at the same time (cause im a german nativ speaker using english as second language) ;)

Yesterday i bought a new htc one x and missed to backup my smarttype beta version, i tryed to download the smarttype beta from the beta activation mail but the link is death :eek:

Would you be so nice and send me a new link?

Anyways geat work bro!!!

Big thx to an great Developer

Greetings Tyler

Send from my sweet little Blackbox
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Hi Tyler!

The beta period is over but you can download the release version of TypeSmart 2.0 from Google Play: http://bit.ly/typesmart

Install the trial version on the same device that you installed the beta, and the trial will never expire, and you'll have all the features and future updates from Google Play.
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Gotcha! All that is totally doable and I will try to get it in an upcoming release.

Just curious, would you make the gap wider or narrower?

Barry
[Android Apps and Games] baboonsRus:
Narrow the gap to make the key wider. Maybe on a slider like the height adjustment.

Also, I have noticed that if I enter an unrecognized word and hit space, it kicks me down a line and about 3 spaces in. Let me know if there is a way to help you test/duplicate this.

I'm on the htc droid incredible.
[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
Interesting keyboard, predictions seem nice, but the gap between the keys should be narrower. And the themes look kind of "cheap". Writing seems quite precise aswell. Using on an atrix 4g with qhd and size set to maximum. It does produce some lag when typing though.
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
I always thought the gap was a little wide, too. I'll make it narrower in the next version. The slider is also a great idea but it may have to wait until v1.1.
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Yes I would appreciate that very much! I have never seen that bug myself or received any similar reports. :confused:

Please tell me as much as possible about what you are doing when the bug happens:

1. What unrecognized word were you typing? Include the entire line if possible.

2. What app were you typing in? If a browser, what site and text field?

3. What version of Android are you running? Is it a custom ROM?

4. Does it happen every time or just sometimes? If sometimes, do you see a pattern?

5. Please include any other details you think may be relevant.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] baboonsRus:
One occurred in the above entry using the xda premium app when I typed "swype-ish". Others occurred using the text messaging app included with the stock+ rom on the droid incredible development section. It is custom, but mild and based off of our recent ota update. As near as I can tell it is the stock messaging app.

I noticed in the changelog the was a fixed crash for htc mentioned...is it possibly hardware related? I will try to log more details as they occur.
[Android Apps and Games] onestoploser:
I just noticed this also. Having the same issue. Next time it happens I'll try to answer your questions above.

[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Anything is possible. In fixing the other HTC bug I discovered they use non-stock code in some places... and it's buggy :mad:. Maybe an HTC ROM bug was ported to your ROM and onestoploser's, too. Unfortunately I don't have an HTC device to test on but I'm seriously thinking of getting one.
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] baboonsRus:
That's what betas are for! :)

[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Was TypeSmart the default IME when you tried? It will crash if it's not the default (fix coming in next release).

If it was the default, when did it crash? When you opened the wallpaper activity? Selected the wallpaper? Saved the wallpaper?

Were you applying a photo or library wallpaper? Did you try both?

Thanks... :)
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Found it. Fixed it. It is not HTC-specific after all.

Thanks!

Installed on Htc Sensation 4G. When translating English to Spanish, first try will work. Subsequent attempts produce an error 403 from Google about excessive API calls.
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Google is in the process of changing their translate API from a free to paid service. Unfortunately they recently placed a limit on the number of free translations per app, and it appears TypeSmart has reached that limit.

In November we will release an upgrade that will allow you to purchase as many translations from Google as you like. Until then the translator will occasionally not function. I apologize for the inconvenience.
[Android Apps and Games] hth2813:
Direct link please ! Because when i open the market link, it says this app is incompatible with my device !
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
What is your device, please?
[Android Apps and Games] hth2813:
I am using Dell Streak 5, bro !
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Sorry but if Android Market says your device is incompatible, it probably is. TypeSmart requires Android 2.1 or later.
[Android Apps and Games] baboonsRus:
I see you rated your own app on the market...shameless! Jk. Great work on the keyboard. It looks like it's getting lots of love on the market. Pm me if you work out a swype-ish version in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
We app developers need every 5-star rating we can get, right? :)

Today we released version 0.9.12 with improvements and bug fixes in response to the feedback in this thread (sorry, still no swype-ish interface, but now you can type "swype-ish" without getting extra unwanted spaces and line feeds).

Check back later today for the 0.9.12 changelog.
[Android Apps and Games] lotherius:
Agreed. If you don't approve of your own app then why would someone else.

I'm guilty of +1'ing my own Google+ posts as well. Its all about self promotion these days!

Unfortunately I can't really try out this keyboard because I need to have 日本海 (Japanese) IME support. Good luck!
[Android Apps and Games] RoboDroid13:
I tried this out, works great. Thanks :)

[Android Apps and Games] helmen:
Your keyboart also support telephone keypad, my finger is to clumsly for entire qwerty :P

Another question, from android market italian language is not supported, is for lack of dictionary word?
[Android Apps and Games] ronnbon:
no @-sign....

I really like that keyboard but I have two problems.

I am using other languages (German) and the qwertz version. The app says constantly new dictionary available- but the download always fails.

Second and much more important- I don't have an "@" sign.... ? I really looked and searched the settings but I did not find something to get one...
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Thanks for your feedback. We will be adding Italian, German and French to the 1.0.1 release, to be released by the end of 2011, or early 2012.

Press the "123" button at bottom-left to switch to a numeric keypad. Is that what you need? If not, please explain.
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Thanks for your feedback.

You're right that "@" is missing from the QWERTZ keyboard. As a German speaker, do you think I should replace the "§" symbol on the D key with a "@" symbol? In the meantime, you can find all symbols including "@" in the symbols menu by long-pressing the SYM/123 key.

The "new dictionary available" notice is a bug that will be fixed in the next version. You should just ignore it for now since a German dictionary is not available yet. We're adding a German dictionary in version 1.0.1, to be available within the next couple of months.
[Android Apps and Games] sputnik99:
As a german speaker: that's the way we know it from our PC keyboards:

the @ is on the "q"-key,

the § normally is on the "3" key, could be moved to "p", as the section sign § in german is called paragraph

the € key is on the "e" key.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ronnbon:
That would be great- I never used this symbol "§" all the years but the "@" every day.

thanks- did not find this for some reason...
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
What do you think of this layout? I replaced the § with @. Unfortunately it's impossible to use a full QWERTZ keyboard on a mobile keyboard because the top row of number keys is not there, so compromises must be made. Your opinion as a German speaker will help me decide what compromises to make.
[Android Apps and Games] ronnbon:
that looks good- for me that would be absolutely ok. thanks for the fast response.
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
Hi, market saying incompatible, im using Galaxy mini (LDPI) 2.3.4. Also do you planning czech language support?
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
We are planning to support as many languages as possible, but the next three will be German, French and Italian. I cannot give a date on Czech support.

We don't support "small" screen size because we assumed those devices aren't fast enough to run TypeSmart, but if you like I can send you a custom beta to try on your Galaxy Mini.
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
Well i never have problem to run any application. its low end phone but have 600 mhz processor and 256 mb RAM (enough for everything i need :)). Please send the beta to JFric@seznam.cz or gnaver123@gmail.com THNX
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:

I love the custom themes! I love having my phone stand out, different than the others, and your there's really make it stand out.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] RaSpewTin:
Trying this out (coming from swiftkey). in the brief few minutes i've used it so far it does feel faster than swiftkey. I love the being able to tap on a misspelled word to get a list of suggested words (not having to move the cursor around to fix a mistake). Will have to give it a few days to see how well next word prediction gets.
[Android Apps and Games] Jkleine:
How about adding a touch move option to replace swipe gestures... Hold 1 finger swipe the other to indicate the same functionality as arrows
[Android Apps and Games] Jkleine:
Needs ics style dark theme.. darkwall arrows are all white arrows lost in the white background..

Count these as 1 post.. I don't want 2keys
[Android Apps and Games] clor01:
A bit laggy and also would like to see options to disable swiping and other options. Otherwise this is a great keyboard. :thumbup:

Dang, I just can't use a keyboard that doesn't have swipe on it anymore. =/

[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Good eye! Added to the bug list.
[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
Just dled the keyboard and writing this on it andvalready (didn't correct this typo), the commas need to go to the last word written even if one did a space already. The landscape size indicator doesn't show up, several predictions don't work (really now I had to correct 4 typos already, as opposed to swiftkey which I normally use). Even if I try to edit the wrong word by going with the cursor to the wrong spot, it just starts to change letters at the end. It keeps skipping letters and misses so many corrallfrfroallfrfrofmf llfrfrofmfthi (it just wrote this jibberish instead of corrections from this post). This is on a motorola atrix with cm7, where other keyboards really work well ( touchpal, swiftkey, go kb), so i caant really use it, really looked promising. I like the arrows very much.
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Thanks. :)

The ICS theme is blacked-out with blue highlight on keypress, like this. We copied it directly from ICS. Are you seeing something else?
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Thanks for your detailed feedback!

1. You're right about the space before commas (and periods, question marks... etc). I've added it to the list for the next release.

2. What is the landscape size indicator? If you mean you cannot preview the landscape height changes that's because the dialog cannot appear in front of the keyboard.

3. What words didn't appear in predictions (I know that's a big question but if you can provide 1 or 2 that will help). BTW I typed "andvalready" on SK and GO and they didn't correct it either.

4. You're also right about the cursor going to the end of the word. I've added this to the list too.

Thanks again...
[Android Apps and Games] carburano:
Hi friend!

Thanks, your work it's amazing!

I'd like to know if it's possible to share your work in my rom for O2x "Django manouche"

Please let me know.

Thanks again and happy easter
[Android Apps and Games] jeraspie28:
I'm impressed. I really like it. I would say the themes are the best. Very unique. Also how you can change the theme on the fly and other settings by long pressing the four way arrow.

Just first impressions. I'll definitely check out more features!

Thanks!

:D
[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
Glad to help, the predictions were words like "corrections, predictions, indicator, written, work, commas" and the whole jibberish pack shloud have been "corrections from this post" . All in all the themes are nice, maybe you should make the space bat a tad higher as opposed to the letters and move it a bit more to the left. I would suggest to make the slternarive symbols better visible, at least on the atrix i couldnt tell which sym is which.

About the two words in one with a single letter in between, i have to say im minorly spoiled by the new swiftkey beta 3, which can do that while sk x or go kb, dont havr this option. One more thing about the predictions, if one presses a word he wants to save, a dialog box pops up, which takes time, could you make it be a popup only from the word itself and than one just slides with the finger to the wanted option? As well as if one does not want to save the word but just use it instead of a prediction, goes back to it, fixes it, than space again predicts it to something else and the only way to use it, seems to be to save the word into the dictionary.

I was thinking that maybe there could be a bug with multitouch in it, due to the fact that it just wrote several random letters with me touching just one with each hands finger. Hope this helps a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Thanks again for your detailed feedback.

1. Hmmm... the dictionary does have all those words. Were they missing as predictions or typo corrections?

2. I agree the symbols are hard to read on the ICS theme but we copied the colors exactly from ICS. Perhaps we can tweak them a bit.

3. Correcting "andvalready" is a neat feature. I'll look into it for TypeSmart for a future release.

4. About adding words to the dictionary: replacing the menu is a big deal at this point, but what if pressing the word just entered it, and LONG-pressing the word opened the menu? I think this provides speed and flexibility at the same time. It also makes it consistent with long-pressing other prediction words. What do you think?

5. I'm not sure why you got gibberish. Perhaps it is related to a similar bug that is fixed in the next beta release.

I really enjoy discussing this with you as we're coming up with all kinds of ideas!
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Scratch that. The menu is toast. Pressing the word enters it, long-pressing adds it to the dictionary. Simple!
[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
Yeah glad to help. That seems a cool feature for how to add new words.

Well the not corrected words were only shown as wrong predictions/corrections in the top bar (only one option - the wrong one).

About the space bar, I think it needs to be redesigned and expanded to the left (at least in landscape mode). It's so hard to hit it with the left thumb (got smaller hands =/). Maybe make the 123 and arrows button smaller so it expands to the left. And make the space bar higher than the other buttons (letter buttons - I keep hitting v or b instead of space). Maybe even swap the comma and arrows button. Maybe you could put the arrows button into the top right corner in the prediction bar (that the button is permanently there - the meego os has it like that on the n9 for certain apps), thiswowouwlthiswowouwld (just wanted to write `this would`) so this would save space down and still make it useful with arrows.

One more thing, a useful feature would be to be able to set longpress duration.

There is this annoying lag with the kb, can't say why, but sometimes the popups just stick and it seems laggy and there is a delay in the letters/words showing up and it seems that jibberish is being produced with it (as seen above).
[Android Apps and Games] hrono20:
Hey. Set your keyboard very much. But there is no support for the Russian language, but for me it's important. I've been writing in Russian. You can expect to add a Russian keyboard layout?
[Android Apps and Games] nikhil.mehta:
Not working

Hi,

Absolutely loved the concept. Seems to be going in the right direction too. Although, it is not working on the galaxy note. The app and the keyboard both need to be resized for the note's screen.

Edit: Okay, I am a complete noob at this. So please do tell me if i have to tweak the settings somehow to make it work. Although i thought i was going correct as swype works on my device.
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
No, you are right that it doesn't work on the Galaxy Note. We're working on it!

Thanks,

Barry

As of typing this I must say that it is good, but fast language switching and not showing thema äüö buttons on

Do you really not need the äüö keys?
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
Thanks. :) Sorry but version 2.0 won't have Russian-language support but we'll be adding a lot more languages and keyboards in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
A new beta is available! 2.0-BETA3a can be downloaded from http://m.cometapps.com/typesmart/beta/

Recent changes:

1. Commas and periods always follow the last word, even if you press space

2. In-word editing has been improved

3. Scrambled words when typing fast has been fixed

4. Now easier to add/remove words from the dictionary (just long-press)

5. Cut/copy/paste added to cursor keypad.

Most of these changes are the result of feedback from crnkoj. Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
Nice job. Just installed the newest version and it seems (wrote weems by mistake but the autocorrect didnt suggest to correct to seems) to work quite nice. As well as there still seems to be some bug with random words again (before when i wrote the first sentence and than inserted the comment it just deleted a word and combined two others it does seem to be less pronounced though). I do love the bottom spacing, since I often miss the space bar and hit (b or v instead). I'll test it some more and report back (maybe it still seems atad laggy) hmmm I wrote the "a tad" together and wanted to fix it yet it made the space after the atad combo (this is on a fresh cm7 install and the new beta). Do you think these issues could be related to incompatibility with tapatalk? For now I only use it with tt, since I use the phone without a sim card lately (so i can't test with SMS apps). I would again suggest if you could make the space bar wider, move the anykey button to the top right where the suggestions normally are, make the 123 comma and dot button a bit narrower and put a question mark ajd exclamation to the bottom row. And give an option for the longpress duration (was looking for it but can't find it). Good improvements once again, especially the anykey fujctionality (wanted to write functionality but it wouldjt suggest a fix - like with wouldn't just now). I think you might need to make the dictiojary (no eh, again) more agressive. It seems as if the letters that one misclicks are in two different rrows, (putting comma just inserted a second r) it won't fix or even suggest the word/misclick. For instance if i want to type the and miss it and write tue, it will fix it to tie instead of giving more options. Oh the double first letter happens if a word is predicted and than you delete a part of it, a second first letter appears.

Would you maybe like a logcat of when i use the kb?
[Android Apps and Games] BarryF:
1. I see what you mean when you tried to insert a space in "atad". That is easy to fix.

2. I don't about compatibility with tapatalk but I will look into it.

3. A logcat would REALLY help, especially if it's filtered on Application "com.comet.android.TypeSmart" or the tag "Comet Keyboard". TypeSmart 2.0 Beta also writes a debug log to /mnt/sdcard/TypeSmart/logs/debug.log so you can just send that (after removing your personal info).

4. Regarding keyboard layout, I cannot make major changes now but the next major release of TypeSmart will have many more keyboard customization options. For this release I'll try to make the space bar more accessible from the left side, in landscape mode.

5. Long-press duration option has been added to the feature list. I will be implemented before the final 2.0 release, barring any unforeseen technical issues.

6. Type correction: your right that misclicks in another row (like "dictiojary") should be included in corrections. TypeSmart 1.0 counted them but we removed it in v2.0 for performance reasons (more keys to check takes more time). HOWEVER, I just had an idea to improve the correction "aggressiveness" while improving performance.

Thanks again...
