Hi!
As you all know the Android virtual keyboard can offer suggestíons on the fly, when typing your text. However, these suggestions may be limited in lack of a good dictionary. So, people usually start to add new words to their custom glossary. This process could be made quicker by importing a glossary, but one has to know the exact format requirements and the folder where this dictionary must be placed. Please share any tips&ideas on this!

As far as I understand the transcriber's recognition capabilities for different languages are defined by the "TranscriberENG" or "TranscriberGER" files within the Windows directory.
I have a german ROM, so I have the "TranscriberGER" file installed, but about 25% of the text I write is in englisch.
Writing englisch text with german language support this is what I'd call a bad user experience.
Is somebody willing to send me a set of the "TranscriberENG" files (There must be two of them, one is approx 50, the other one 145k) so I could try to use them as a replacement when I need english text recognition?
Has any of you already tried to replace these files? Does an easy method for switching languages in transcriber exist, in case muliple language files are installed?
If not, I think it would be great to pack this in a new rom, if possible at all.

I,m working on it along with keyboard and dictionary langauge options to be user switchable. Progress is slow but hopefully I'll get there in the end.

That would be really great! Can you tell me more about your progress?
When can we expect a beta version?
Hello!
Sorry if this is asked/answered, search isn't working on my phone.
Is there any way to change just the text field editing interface on the sgs2? cyanogenmod seems to have it down pretty well but the stock Samsung one that appears in practically all the ROMs I've tried is absolutely pathetic. If anyone is confused about what I mean, I mean selecting words, highlighting words, copying and pasting words, the little text selection arrows etc. It is frustratingly incompetent ATM and is making me want to throw my phone at a wall.
Its the one main thing that bothers me about Android, iOS has this perfectly sorted.
Most of the time now I have to write my emails/forum posts/Facebook posts etc (ie anything with multiple lines of text) in a notepad type program and copy and paste it over, as trying to select a sole word in the middle of many in a websites text field (or similar) is quite literally impossible.
Someone help me, it is driving me insane.
Thank you.
Is there seriously nothing that can be done about this?
I find that quite hard to believe..
Hi everyone,
I have been working in Java for awhile now, and I thought I might dip my toes into android development.
If I was looking to add certain functionality to Words With Friends how would I start exactly? I wanted to add a dictionary button to the interface that reads the definition of a selected word. I saw that Words with Friends uses the ENABLE dictionary, and I have an idea on how I could get this to work, but how would I be able to implement this into an actual copy of the game a la the *Dark Mod*?
thanks in advance
Lately, I've been trying different flash cards programs and noticing that none of them import the superscript/subscript characters properly. Sure, there are ways you can get around that by adding HTML tags to import the data... but such measures are cumbersome. And thus, studying physics/chem/etc on android device proves quite difficult.
So I decided to see why this is... and the best answers I have found is that the android web browser doesn't fully support unicode. Apparently, it supports something like version U+00Bx, which include superscript 1/2/3 but nothing else, and none of the common symbols used in math/chemistry (+/-).
So why is this? And is there are any work-arounds to expand the support of unicode?
Hi there, first time poster. I was wondering if someone could answer a few questions for me as it pertains to HTML5 and bringing up a Keyboard on Android (any version). I am a website developer and I have recently gotten into making my web applications mobile friendly, but I'm running into some snags when trying to get a certain keyboard to show up on Android / iOS and I'm wondering why it's not a bigger issue than I've seen so far.
Right now, if I add an <input> onto my page and add type="number", Android will pull up a keyboard that has numbers, etc. My problem is, the field I'm using isn't a "real floating point number", which all major browsers (except IE11) disallow. If I have an input set up to take a credit card number, I cannot allow the user to add dashes to make it easier to read while using type="number". However, I'd rather have the number keypad pop up by default as it really is all numbers, just not a calculatable (is that a word?) number.
I was wondering how difficult it would be for Android to add in something so when a field is clicked into, it would look for a specific vendor prefix to load a soft keyboard of the web developer's choosing? For instance:
Code:
<input type="text" data-soft-keyboard="number">
or
Code:
<input type="text" data-soft-keyboard="email">
which will give the device very clear and explicit instructions on which type of keyboard to display.
Sorry if this seems way out in left field, but I haven't found a decent solution to this issue. I went to Chrome forums to discuss and people said Chrome is 100% working off of the HTML5 spec. My personal opinion is that the HTML5 spec is wrong and why the hell are browsers doing validation against data in textboxes when I didn't specifically ask for it. However, I'm not really sure which direction to go at this point.
Any suggestions or opinions on the matter would be very nice, thank you
