Dictionary from sms already in storage?

Post by fekish »

Hello,

i am writing most messages in Greek however in Latin characters...

Thus is there a way for the dictionary to search all messages and create a "dictionary" from what was already typed?

This would be superb!

Thanks

Yes, this is in the TODO list. The difficulty is to guess the associated languages, as in Smart Keyboard all words are stored in the dictionary with an associated language

Basically i do not care about the language now ;)

all i care is to add all the words with english characters to the dictionary... In Cyprus and Greece, most people use english characters to write greek words in SMS's. If we write Greek characters we have only 70 characters for 1 sms, otherwise the normal 160.

Is only if we write Capital Greek letters with no punctuation that we have 160 characters. And thus this has pushed us in writing with Lating (english) characters...

I understand you don't care about the language, but the problem is that Smart Keyboard cares ;) which makes this feature a bit tricky

By the way a "SMS mode" is also in the plan, to translate any language into normal ASCII text and get rid of encoding issues

Well, when the companies would stop charging us more when we are using greek characters, i will start using Greek characters...
As soon as i turn greek characters, the sms words go down to 70 letters only! that is because the 160 characters, are just for the latin ones...

When the Government decides to force this thing into the telecomunication companies, i will start using Greek alphabet... I am saying the government, because seeing all those children being so wrong in spelling greek words, because they use just greeklish, is something that that the ministers should think about, as the future is not so good...

I would certainly appreciate access to a sub menu in Smart Keyboard Pro "english" which provided greek alphabet characters, which are very commonly used in science and astronomy. SMS is only one of the uses of current super smart phones, which really are mini laptops on which many kinds of documents can be generated.
