> a) The question is not about turning prediction off, but _providing_ a
way to turn it off and on. Because I don't think it will be possible to
use those "hints on the input", because even under normal circumstances
(like in an SMS) where English-speaking people would like the predictive
input you will sometimes type names of people/places
Now the question is if you don't only switch mode based on the input hint
but on user choice. How would that happen? With the current plan you would
go to exposure and switch the keyboard to a none predictive one. Would
that help you? Effectively we would just have a non predictive version of
the predictive keyboard and you could pick that. I would not know where to
configure the predictive keyboard to dynamically enable/disable
prediction..
Depending on how often "sometimes" is the route through exposure might be
okay, it might not. Comments?
> b)in rasters keyboard one can already add his own wordbook
> One of the *current* big flaws also is that there is no button to add a
word to the dictionary, so at this stage the predictive keyboard is not
really user-friendly.
You can install qtopia-phone-x11-words and add your words to the
dictionary.
