this is a really good opportunity to fix what has been broken with nokia T9 style texting on other phones for years.. my suggestions here will bring the best aspects from symbian T9 and sony ericsson texting (sony's system is better than symbian in many ways) This feedback contains reference to <NEXT> and <PREV> as the key that moves to the next guess and the previous guess respectively here's the feedback: Landascape spelling should be "Landscape" If I enter a sequence of periods ........ then delete them all and enter just one period again . then the <NEXT> key doesnt change the guess.. It's stuck as a period?
The dictionaries seem to contain some junk - i try to write the english word BE and i get CF CE CD - none of these are english words. If you'd like me to prune the dictionary files for you, just pass them along It also doesnt seem to suggest in alphabetical order (i think i remember reading that it did) words that havent been used yet?
Program should suggest words with accented characters with lower priority than non accented.. e.g. i'm using english lite dict and I want to write "he", i press 43 and I get IE ID HÉ HF.. eventually HE comes around, but I wonder why the word order is that the accented char is first. Perhaps we should grab some long texts in english (like War and Peace or the bible) and break them into words, counting each word, and provide fastsms dictionary files with words already arranged in the order of most popular to least popular?
the word priority might frustrate the user: if I write HE, the next time, it will write HE. If I write HE ten times, then write IF once, the next time it will suggest IF first.. i.e. it seems to work in a "most recently used" mode, not a "most often used" mode Most often used mode is better - if you have MRU mode, users will get confused because the suggestions will always be jumping around.. Suppose they write HE ten times to every one time of IF, the user gets a "memory" in his fingers that HE is 43, and IF is 43<NEXT> but if youre always switching around the word order based on MRU, this logic doesnt hold and it will slow down the texting and frustrate the user
