Whats Your Input Method?

[TZimpfer]

I have had my X5 for about 2 months and just realized how wonderful Transcriber is, I used to use the keyboard, it wasn't until i saw many posts of people talking about transcriber that i tried it out. So i thought it would be interesting to see what input method people use.

I use the virtual keyboard the most, but recently heard about the Dell Axim Keyboard and bought it. I'm taking it on my next trip!

I like Transcriber, but have yet to not waste a lot of time correcting my mistakes. Michaelthor;)

I use 3 out of the 4 depending on my mood. I don't use the letter recognizer.

You didn't list any of the third-party add-on input methods. Personally, I use Fitaly.

For quick notes I use the keyboard or transcriber depending if I am in transit, but most of the time I use Typango Full screen keyboard.

I use the wicked Pocketop IR keyboard, in landscape!Total GEEKY!!!;)

Not Pocketop, but I do use a wireless keyboard. Citipack finally released Axim drivers for their IR keyboard. A little bulkier than the pocketop/microinno keyboard (only folds in half, and is both slightly wider and taller than the Axim when folded). However... the keys are much more accessible and well-sized than the pocketop's, with the narrow keys that would make me feel like I have fat fingers or something. Got mine for $60 new off ebay, and I've only had it running a couple days. Must say, the range of the stand's LED (doesn't use mirrors like the others, actually has 2 LED's, one on the side and one on the stand) isn't quite as good as I would hope for. The LED rests a few inches above the PDA and doesn't quite reach it, but if I prop the PDA up it can work. Also, it might just be a bad battery, but it doesn't always detect when you let off a key, so sometimes it thinks that SHIFT is constantly held down, or doesn't pick up on a keystroke. Still, much faster than using transcriber, and a million times faster than software keyboards. Not to mention it was cheaper than any alternative keyboards out there. I'll try it with a new battery and see if it performs better, otherwise I might dismantle it a little so I can drop the LED down closer to my Axim.
