I've tried rosetta (on OM2007.2), but the training application needed
some modifications to run at all because the application would not
display itself properly (wrong assumptions about screen size).
Rosetta is at least promising when tweaked and used together with a good
word list. 

What makes it unusable is that the automatic keyboard adds
to the screen space needed by rosetta and then there's simply not
enough screen left for the main application (e.g. SMS editor)
A workaround for this is to re-enable the keyboard toggle applet
in /etc/matchbox/session as described in the wiki. (I have the matchbox
keyboard running, but I guess it would be the same with multitap).

Some simple general keyboard input method management would be really
nice for OM. E.g. like an extended keyboard applet that shows and hides
keyboard apps associated with the chosen input method.

Re: asu and handwriting recognition of qtopia

2008-07-27 Thread Yaroslav Halchenko
For 2007.2 users (and probably could be brought within ASU desktop
easily) there is matchbox-stroke which seems to be quite a nice start
and is configurable somewhat easily (if ran within terminal on FR it
spits out the codes which are descriptors of the written letters so it
could be added to shipped .xml file)

the only problem on my 1st try to use it is that it doesn't have a
mechanism to disappear from the screen (or at least I've not found it)
-- it is always there. But I guess it should be doable (simply by
duplicating some functionality from matchbox-keyboard for instance...)

so it seems like a good candidate ;) someone indeed should just figur
figure out a nice way to compose multiple input methods and implement
convenient switching between them

 and some people built it for FR
 http://www.ginguppin.de/node/16

that's me :-)
but cellwriter
- does not hook into the matchbox mechanism to unhide when needed
- seems not to be able to feed the charcaters to the actual application
- is not fullscreen -- might be ok with a real tablet, but with the om the  
fields are to small to write on

whiel the first two are probably more or less easy to fix, the third is  
rather a showstopper.
