N9 Virtual Keyboard Dictionary
 
Hi,

Can we get into the dictionary of the N9 for a language and delete all the useless words and add our own words sort of like Autocomplete Manager for the N900??

I am starting to get frustrated with the stupid dictionary in the N9.

I go to type "then" I accidentally hit the b button meaning I typed "theb" instead of correcting with the most obvious, it goes and puts the correction as "Thebes" WTF!?! :@

Its so annoying how the dictionary has such useless words and puts them above common ones.

Swype is much better for normal typing BUT it uses so much CPU its not worth the battery drain caused (tested on multiple devices as well as a freshly flashed one) 20-40% CPU usage while typing with Swype.



Is this a possibility?

Other threads seem to have died about this and never got an answer, trying to get this sorted.

Thats what I am hoping to find out from this thread, its getting to a point where its just annoying me now.

Swype is too resource heavy to use constantly and also is a PITA to use with X-Term. I just want to sort the dictionary out so it corrects properly unique to me and majority of people type when texting/emailing/chatting

I had no idea Swype was that CPU intensive.

Quite frankly I find the non-swype keyboard (in portrait) to be utterly frustrating. It seems loads less accurate than iOS devices.

Yeah if you have Swype as your active input method, then go into X-term and type in

top

Then you will see a process called meego-im-uiserver (active keyboard) do some swyping and itll jump to 40% CPU usage..

I just tried to type "yeah" accidentally hit 't' instead of 'y' and so I ended up typing "teah" and the suggestion was "teahouse"

Seriously! WTF?!

I think I have found two possible locations for the keyboard files:

1st Location:

Code:

/usr/share/xt9/6.2
2nd Location:

Code:

/home/user/.meego-im-engines/xt9/6.2

Just for comedy value, my favourite is whenever I try to type "here" but instead hit "hete" by mistake, it suggests "heterosexual"!? I am certain I have never typed that word in a text/email! I have no idea where it gets that from?

I have to carefully read what is being typed or it could be very embarrassing...
