Can words be added to the file that quick fills when you are typing something?

Word Completion is turned on through settings/input/word recognition.

Thanks

i have found that my system learns some words as it goes.

Search the archives for ABC-Editor from kaisoft. It works fine. Changes will survive a soft reset.

These are deleted following a soft reset.

If you have the Rescoe Keyboard Pro it allows you to save up to 11 different phrases which is access with just two taps. Or, I have several words that would be considered mispelled in MS Pocket Word, so I tap them out manually and then do a spell check and click on the choice to add them to the dictionary. I do not believe this dictionary is ruined with a soft reset. Then in Settings I set it to suggest at least four words after entering just two letters.

There is the text file you can drag to your PC and add words to also... \Windows\Custom.dic, just open it with notepad, edit and copy back.

That's the same as the add to dictionary feature, both work great!

If I'm not mistaken, "custom.dic" only works with transcriber. For example, I always write with either Block Recognizer or the keyboard. There aren't any dictionary files on my Axim to edit. The only fix is to use Kiasoft's program, I guess.

Does anyone know where the axim get's it's dictionary from for suggested words? When I type with the keyboard, it only shows words that normally aren't relavant to what i'm typing. If there was a text file that could be changed somehow, without the use of ANOTHER program to unlock functionality that should have been included, I would be happy. Anyone?

OK, I seem to have found a partial answer to my own question...

Done. As far as I can tell, making these changes in Word also makes the same changes for the other Office programms, so you don't have to go into each separately."

Now I just have to find how to edit this file to Word's liking.

Hey, PocketPCThoughts just showed a new application called TapText which does allow for email, business cards, quotes, etc, lot of frequent words and phrases to be saved in a drop down menu on every page. Check it out: Here

Ok I have a problem now... My word completion is not working at all??? It is turned on in the settings menu and is supposed to suggest words after 2 letters but it is not doing anything.

Anyone got any ideas? Preferrably not involving a hard reset.

Cheers
Adrian

Not sure what is causing the problem. I had the same thing happen to me once, but it was on an Ipaq and happened right after installing Pocket Informant. It cleared up after PI was removed and then reinstalled, if I remember correctly.

Can anyone confirm that the Custom.dic file is only for transcriber?

i use the tap keyboard, and i added some words to custom.dic (using the method above) but they are never among the suggested words

oh well
