Author - can you add a korean writing support?

(They using the alphabet, but korean input is little different than english input)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fnord:
For the last 3 I added a Key using the folder name provided path (eg: InprocServer32), then created a

string

(not a dword)within each using "Default" as the value name and the info above for the value data (eg: \Windows\eT9Sip.dll)

Don't know if I was supposed to use a dword for that 1st one, but everything works perfectly so not going to change it now :)

Hope that helps

PCM Keyboard and Touch Diamond

I need some help with a PCM keyboard Bug.

This bugs makes the original sip keyboard and compact qwerty keyboard and phone keyboard impossible to use. When typing letters only numbers are displayed. My full qwerty keyboard works. and PCM Keyboard works.

Uninstalling PCM keyboard and rebooting removes the problem. But I want PCM keyboard and the original sip.

I'm not the only user with this problem.

I have heard this bug is on these roms (maybe more):

1.93 wwe roms, swifts 5.6 , 1.37 Norwegian
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zard:
1. Copy/paste would be good.

2. Shift key: I thought that if there is a shift key to get caps, we can reduce 2nd keyboard layout, thus reducing the size. Maybe that don't make any difference.

I will try reducing the dictionary size.

As for memory management, I'm not sure if I should be refering to the dll or the dictionary size. Maybe it is the dll size. Hopefully, it can be reduced in your next version.

Thanks.

Hi tene,

Once again, you did a very good job.

As you might know that I really need a good PPC on-screen keyboard. Even, I started a thread for it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=319370

Well, I have not started anything yet due to my lack of C++ skills :(

Now, you have your new project which is really great!

Here are my suggestions:

1. Dont you think it is better to have another row on top for the numbers?

Because I think, the idea of a better keyboard is to minimize the number of clicks to compose such words. From my experience of daily usage, I found that people should need access to the numbers quite often.

Yes, you can add special key to access them, but thats one additional click.

And also, by adding that row, it maintains the same (similiar) layout for the additional keys (I dont know the term), like !@#$%^&*().

Most of us, our brain has been "trained" to know the location of the above characters ... are next to (upper side) of the "numbers".

This for sure, will speed up the process of "finding" those keys.

I am not good explaining this, but I hope you got the idea.

2. Introduce the "double tab" to LOCK mode.

For example, double tab the shift key will lock to upper case layout.

3. Application context

Like iPhone, you will get .com key when you use web browser.

4. The "backspace" button needs to be available all the time (in all layout)

Here I re-attach my "design", so you can consider :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nesty24:
not just the "=" but i think all of it (symbols) should be a stop character.

I've seen it, just now... LOL! sorry!

So it means you have to scroll it that much to see it? It costs time if all of my words are shortcutted like that and i have to add it.

Maybe, I can imagine it just a little. I post a comment when you've done doin it.

Yes, its very useful for us, why? because we can create the idea of the message in just a single bucks (costs only 1 peso, get it?).

About parsing messages, if you're talking about the message that was received, its a NO, because the idea of how the user input the message is differ from others, and if it is the message your typing, its a YES.

I'm currently using the Fullscreen Keyboard, it may give you the idea.

That's what I'm talking about...

Every person have a different identity, i mean unique, make it very optional.

I understand how you make your hard code, if only i knew C++... I only just knew VB6.... If only I can help you with your coding...

I know why people use shortcuts... I just hate that ;)

I have the feeling that after some time, you'll get a decent dictionary and it will work correctly.

That's a long debate but I presuppose that:

- Users don't know what they need

- It's very hard to change user habit

- As long as its a test version that's the perfect ground for experimenting

- if the setting exist, most people won't try the suggestion, and suggestion make the keyboard unique... otherwise other keyboard are already doing a fine job.

However, based on all those discussion, suggestion list isn't perfect yet I'll try to make it less invasive... and there's probably gonna be either a learning mode (what you type is learned), or a "don't replace my word automatically, only suggest" mode.

Note that for a commercial version, the setting would be there, of course.

Anyway be a little patient ;)

Thanks man, I really appreciate your replies.

Anyway another suggestion here (sorry if I made too many suggestion) :D

In creating new message, can the suggestion be off if the cursor is in the number box, i mean if you write the number of the person your sending to, instead of the suggestion, suggest the name of the person that is in the contact list that was typing and write its number in the number box.

Hope you get the point, sorry for my bad english. :D

not usable in VGA

Very good job, nice ergonomic, but... in VGA (on my HTC Universal) it's too small to be used and no way to customiz this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] maevro:
Suggestion would make it unique if it worked correctly and didn't change basic words in the English language.

Other keyboards are not doing a fine job. They are all being compared to the iPhone's keyboard otherwise we would have seen all of these keyboards designed before the iPhone was released. There are quite a few other there and none are perfect.

Obviously people know what they want because they are giving feedback.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
It doesn't. What's missing is the right dictionary for you. That's why the format is so simple: you can make thing better, it's a txt file with a word list. I'm not asking people to do that, however, I'm just giving them the opportunity to do it. Also you are able to add words very easily.

Feature Suggestion

Great keyboard; Here are some suggestions I have, alot of these have been voiced already but I am wanting to show interest in some of these features or improvements too.

Shift key is biggest hinderence for me: an example sentence that is not fun to type on this keyboard. "I like to use eBay, Google, & Yahoo!" I know this is to the extreme of what one would type but it took 7 keys to type eBay or if you add a comma 10 keys. I dont wish to add every new word to the dictionary when typing short emails.

I agree with number keys being in the first keyboard layout above letters and with a press of a shift key would symbols. I would rather sacrifice 15 pixels of screen realestate and toggle off the PocketCM word suggestion. I use sentences like "Can I meet you at 8:00PM at Kelly's?" A very short sentence but requires alot of page switching currently. I couldnt imagine entering in a 128bit wep key with this keyboard.

Use finger to select word suggestions rather than space bar: Word suggestions should stay suggestions not change your text as you move on to the next word. Entering names is very annoying, I dont like having to add a new name every time, some times I would like to just use for that one instance. I know the ultimate goal is to have a unique program but when typing a message in a hurry I often would rather misspell the word than have the word suggestion change it to what it thinks is right which most times is a completly different word.

Popup text suggestion box sometimes covers WM dialong like "ok / cancel" or "are you sure you want to delete" depending on what word you entered last.

I would love to help if you need a skinner, I am a talented graphic artists and could create buttons and themes when you are ready to implement this.

Please know that I think this is a start to a great Application, just voicing some of the frustrations I have come accross and have been looking for a good solution to my needs mainly. I have loved the concept of your keyboard above many others that I have tried, but a few things keep me from being commited entirely to this keyboard. I look forward to a complete program and if there is anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks-

J and K are mixed up in Caps mode.

When u hit the \M whether that is shift or caps mode I just realized the J and the K are in the wrong place. They are good when you are in the lower case setting. but J is supposed to be after H and before K as u can see from your computer keyboard. So that is a current issue.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
lets not copy the iphone keypad colors and layout and be more creative on the colors and layout.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
thanks for summarizing it anyway ;)

well, first thought is add them! add them! and add them again (then share your dictionary), it's not like a limited cellphone when you have a very short dictionary where adding a word will throw out another. Also it allows you to type google that will be replace by Google.

second thought: shift is working in my develpment version, so it's coming.

Except for the hour, it wouldn't require lot of switch... and that's also were suggestion can be improved, just an idea, but what about things like: I type 800 he suggest 8:00AM, 8:00PM, etc...

And it's not 15 pixels, but 25. so it would eat 125 pixels that would left 195 pixel for the app, remove the title bar... 160px.

Well I don't agree with it. You're typing name? well that means that I should add the contacts in the dictionary. And from my usage, with a decent french dictionary, I really need it to be automatic, so I almost don't have to care about what I'm typing.

One of the main problem here, is automatic correction is happening by itself, it's not frustrating, most of the time you don't even notice (and it's even more in french with accent for instance)... but when you can't type your word, you become frustrated... that's normal. But without considering frustration, imagine automatic suggestion works 95% of the time, and you only need to add 1 word on 20 (and that seems enormous to me, based on my usage, it's more 1 of 100 words). That means that 95% percent of the time you want suggestion, and 5% you don't... so reverse the behavior would benefit 5% of the case at the loss of 95%... see my point?

Another perception issue here is avoiding to add word in dictionary... it's not a rare resource, takes only a few byte, won't make it a slower (it's a trie, so adding element have very little impact). Also this keyboard doesn't limite dictionary size to ridiculous size... a cellphone has from 800 to 8000 words, here we start with 22000.

I'm working on it, but it's not easy... anyway, you can still disable the SIP. I'm mostly working on suggestion positioning, to be closer to the text.

Or we do it the other way, you suggest something. For instance, png file for the shift, layout switch, backspace and enter symbol. For the keys either a complete bitmap of the keyboard, or single key... I ask that because if I want to implement it one day...I'll spend lot of time finding the right graphic, a coding will be fast...if I have the right graphic, implementation will be faster.

I have no clue what you mean. Whenever I select any letter (say when I'm sending a text) it makes a noise.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
I totally agree. If I'm writing and I don't have much time, I would like to enter the word I typed without having to add it to the dictionary.

So:

- pressing spacebar can enter the typed word and tapping on the suggested word will enter the suggested word.

BETTER

:

- pressing spacebar should enter the suggested word (as it happens now) but the keyboard should add a button (maybe on top) to enter the typed word (also, tapping on it could automatically add the word in the dictionary)

I think that this last option can simplify a lot the program. The keyboard will automatically replace the word I typed wrong (it can happen very often) and if I enter a "particular" word, I'll be more careful and tap on that new button.

Languages different than ENG - auto correct problem tip

Hi, first of all this is really amazing application.

I am from Czech republic and we have couple of special characters as well.

My problem was in auto-suggestion and correction of ENG words.

TIP which should be usefull for other peoples as well.

I tryed create Czech dict but it is with lot of words which aren't used daily base and dict was so big.

1, i make a backup of dict.txt file from \Program Files\PCMKeyboard

2, content of this file was deleted and French dict file as well.

so only blank dict file was presented and than I make soft-reset.

In this moment i learning common words one by one.

It should be longer process but if you will spend one week with this and auto-correction will be fine.

This should be usefull for every one who facing same problem.

PLEASE:prediction too

first: Compliments for both the PCM Keyboard, and contact manager.

My experience:I have used PCM Kb with a full spanish dict file, 836kb in size, and the SIP freezes. So i have found a "10.000 most often used words in spanish" file, which i converted into a 92.9 kb dict.txt file, so now PCM kb runs very fast.

It has taken some time, changing dict files and kb layouts, to realize that PCM kb DOES NOT (unless i'm missing anything) predicts word completion. IT ONLY DOES Correction (being VERY GOOD at it) .

Would it be possible to add dict word prediction?

many thanks once more

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jim256:
.23 Is not slow. It just as fast. At first I thought the same as you. Try a hard reset then install it. I promise it is just as fast as .14, it depends on the ROM. On some...it's a beast. On most ROM's...just as fast. And obviously better at suggestion and allows you to go back to old words and edit them w/ the suggestion working.

Great looking skins, but I can't get them to work on QVGA. I've installed the correct cab, but the skins aren't loading when I select them. Anybody else have this problems?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RR33:
This is how to install PCMK :

1- download PCM Keyboard 0.14 + my Skins Pack

2- install CABs : PCM Keyboard, then My Skins Pack and IM Selector (or SIP Change)

3- IMPORTANT: deactivate "T9" in order to avoid many BUGs!! (search on this forum and you'll find how to)

4- launch an application which requires the keyboard (note or Opera by ex), by default it is the stock keyboard that shows on, so press on the small arrow of keyboard selection (at the bottom) and choose “other modes" then “PCM Keyboard”. At this time there is a messed up keyboard which appears (if you are no QVGA) but it is normal because PCMK is not configured yet so do not worry and quit.

5- go to Start>Settings>Keyboard and there “PCM keyboard” should be selected then click in lower part on “options” (if it refuses by prompting that it is not your default keyboard then redo stage 4) and configure it as you want : dictionnary of your choice, layout (you must choose between : AZERTY, QWERTY, QWERTZ, ABC and nothing else), and a skin with (W)QVGA or (W)VGA tag.

6- In order to make PCM Keyboard as your default keyboard at windows startup : launch IM Selector (or SIP Change if it works better on your device) and choose “PCM Keyboard” then “ok”.
