Portuguese Dictionary

Post by TassiaDesign »

Hi!

Ever since I bought my Motorola Milestone I've been searching for a T9 Keyboard with a portuguese dictionary. When the paid market finally opened up here in Brazil, I decided to give Smart Keyboard a try and really enjoyed it. But a T9 without a good dictionary is not very useful, and unfortunately the current Portuguese dictionary is very (very very very) limited.

There is a very complete and open-source dictionary of Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese available for OpenOffice and Firefox http://www.broffice.org/verortografico. I don't know if it could be adapted for this keyboard, but if it could, it would take SmartKeyboard miles ahead of its competitors! :)

Is it possible?

Thank you,
Tássia

Hello
I know the Portuguese dictionary is poor, I should even be ashamed of having published it ;)
Of course I would like to improve it, but what I need is a word list sorted by frequency of usage, can you help me find this in your link?

I don't think they have what you need on that particular link, but I'll try to contact the project manager and see if they have that kind of info somewhere. :) (This is how desperate I am to get my hands on a portuguese T9 keyboard hehehe)

OK, forget this, I have found a good word frequency list (130000 words), I updated the Portuguese dictionary in the market.
