hello everyone!
I'm currently using letter recognizer, keyboard, block recognizer and transcriber for txt input. I've also tried blimkeys. My question is that are there any other txt input method other that those i've mentioned. Somehow like a block recognizer but would recognize txt input system as like letter recognizer?
hope someone direct me on this.
cheers!!!
I highly recommend tengo from www.tengo.net (Win mobile 2003 and upwards).
work very well, and is quite scaleable.
The Intell-pad from HTC is also quite good, although I've had problems installing this in the past (only works on Win Mobile 2003SE).

Calligrapher is an excellent solution as well...
Can anyone tell me how to remove SIP from the Input Panel without uninstalling programs. Since i have a few translator programs they seem to install keyboard which i never use and due to this none of my other keyboards work except the default one.
Can someone help.
Thanks.
Hemant.
See wiki, registry hacks section for this. Or read the thread on how to make your own personal cab...this talks about registry settings as well.
thanks everyone!
cheers!
I have received today my new Diamond, to replace previous HTC P3600.
My first problem os that I am a former Palm user (since 1996!), and like to use graffiti as input. In my P3600 I have installed a small apllication (myprogram) that emulates graffiti. I have tried on the Diamond, block recognizer appears on the input check list but when I select it it does not start and regular keyboard stays instead.
Do you know if there is available somewhere an updated block recognizer for the Diamond?
Shame on me, the Diamond has block recognizer as a standard feature and did stop working because I have installed the program that was supposed to add this feature.
Now I just need to find a way to use IGO 2006 on the Diamond to be a very happy person...
Found it. My problem was that apparently nothing was happening when running setup, but indeed the program was instaled. The program runs really fast and browsing maps is a delight, much faster than my previous P3600. I guess that this is the result of using internal memory instead of a external card! Maybe has some limitations but indeed can be quite effective to run programs, maps, music and so on!

True! I use graffiti for 10 years and its hard to understand why people like physical keyboards !
Regarding IGO I am running 2006 with no problems, indeed much faster than on previous HTC P3600. Haven´t tryed yet IGO2008.
where did u find the block recogniser? is it pre installed in the phone?
Yes, it is pre-installed on the phone. I am using ROM Elite 2.0 and I can not confirm if block recognizer was already on the original ROM.
oh, mine's chinese version, block recogniser is not provided, gee

You need 3 steps to make Block Recognizer running on the CHT ROM.
1st, skip the operator customization process during a hard-reset.
2nd, extract msim.dll & msim.192.dll from a WWE rom and paste them into \Windows
3rd, export HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429691-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9} section from a WWE rom and import to Diamond
If somebody is willing to make a cab for this, it would be appreciated.
I decided not to keep the new T9 keypads but the original keyboard + Block Recognizer instead. This makes everything easier
Cheers!
i tried but the block recognizer not work well .. cannot written and recognize the word
Any news on this? Block recognizer is not on my Swedish Diamond either.
Block recognizer has it own writing system. Only one letter is written and recognized at one go. From the Block Recognizer sip , press on the '?' button and you will see how the letters are formed. Most letters use only one penstroke without lifting but there are exceptions.
Here i've dug up a reference image for grafitti which is the same system as block recognizer. you can print it out for quick reference. I used to carry it around with me when i was using the palm.
Note: in the image, the dot is the starting pointing of the letter to be written

Danish Block Recognizer?
I am a former Palm user, so I prefer Block Recognizer to keyboards. Unfortunately I can’t find Block Recognizer on my new TD.
I have asked HTC where it is, and the reply I got was:
“As per your query about the block recogniser and other options of keyboard, these options are not included on Danish devices.”
Is it possible some how to install it on a Danish TD? – We have some extra letters in our alphabet: “æ – ø - å”
Hallo people,
I would like to use the stylus for handwriting (for example appointments). Is it possible with htc touch diamond?
If not please recommend me some softwares where I can download.
Thank you in advance.
Greetings!
Sony
This used to be a feature of NOTES, no?
Yes it is possible
Tap on the Arrow visible next to the keyboard Icon appearing in the center of the screen (when you are in the Text Screen, or appointment or email or...)Tap on Other input methods
Block Recogniser
Letter Recongniser
Transcriber
They are all capable of handwriting recognition.
Personally, I prefer the Letter Recogniser.. but it's your call
All the best
Does anyone know how come I don't have any of that?
No block recognizer, no transcriber... nothing.... just typing is possible... reg key?

In that thread, there are people who mentioned not having the transcriber either..
Perhaps you could PM them and see if they have managed to find a work around
Thanks! Hadn't discovered that one yet

I'm trying to get the Block recognizer too.
It seems to me that Microsoft blocked it in WM 6.5
EzInput 2.1 doesnt support old SIP methods like block recongniser, thats why it doesnt work for you guys.

Hey Aman, but at Microsoft WebPage, they talk about the input methods for WM 6.5 and Block/Letter Recognize are there !!!!!!!
I though that the nes versions of cooked ROM's would be able to have then too.
Finally working BR and LR

To enable the Letter Recognizer SIP, set this to 1:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429690-AE04-11D0-A4F8-00AA00A749B9}\IsSipInputMethod
"Default"="1" – Enabled
To enable the Block Recognizer SIP, set this to 1:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429691-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\IsSipInputMethod
"Default"="1" – Enabled
You will notice that this will not make the SIP appear, for example, in your SMS application. However, it should appear in the pulldown menu at Start->Settings->Personal->Input. Now, if you try to set the Letter Recognizer as default, thinking that it will appear in SMS application, it doesn't. For some reason, it will always default back to the Touch Input (or EzInput) SIP.
So, the next step is to make the Letter Recognizer SIP the default. To do that, check the value at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip\DefaultIm
It should be "0654897B-B359-473F-B28B-D85CF601C57F" (for Touch Input SIP). Replace that with
"42429690-AE04-11D0-A4F8-00AA00A749B9" (for Letter Recognizer SIP).
WARNING -- very very important to make sure the above is entered correctly. According to some posts elsewhere, a non existent SIP can crash your device. You might want to confirm if you have the Letter Recognizer SIP by searching for the msim.dll file. If it exists, I suppose it is probably safe.
After soft reset (power on/off device), you should now see the Letter Recognizer in your SMS application. However, you will also notice it doesn't work properly. For eg, the Capital Letter (left panel) doesn't work, there is this irritating word suggestions thing that keep popping up, it is quite slow and quite inaccurate, the Help doesn't work well.
To resolve these problems, set the following to 1:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip\IsOtherSip
Do a soft reset and the problems should disappear and you have a good Letter Recognizer to work with (even with fingernail), save for the following problems:
a. Sometimes response may not be very good. Can be quite slow especially if you are entering letters like "i", "r". Maybe this is because of the screen sensitivity.
b. If you click on the little triangle and want to switch to the Touch Input SIP, you can. But the problem is that you can't switch back to the Letter Recognizer anymore unless you do a soft reset. I guess this is OK if you use Letter Recognizer exclusively, but if you want the Chinese Handwriting feature in Touch Input (which is pretty good IMO), then it is not good.
Sorry for the long post. Thought it is better to also share my observations. I am a newbie with registry thing, so I prefer to do step by step and hence many soft resets. If you are gungho enough, just do the steps in bold followed by a soft reset. Hope it works for all you guys.
Note -- if you don't feel safe doing the registry changes, an alternative is to use the Touch Input SIP but set the waiting time to the shortest possible which will reduce the delay. But it is still very irritating to use IMHO.
Cheers
Just to remember all that the solution I described at the previous post is not mine and was Originally Posted by NothingBetterToDo. So, many thnaks to him for the great solution !!!!!!
Info for the ones that doesnt have en version
Hi
Info to all of you with other language then english.
The file msim.dll are country specific, in sweden its called msimsw.dll so i guess you will be able to find your version if you search the registry for msmi and then you will find a msmiXX.dll that is the correct one for your country.
I hade to add the info for {42429690-AE04-11D0-A4F8-00AA00A749B9} and {42429691-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9} because it was missing info so it's not enought to only change the IsSipInputMethod to 1.
I have attached the files i used, but plz realise that this one is for swedish a version. You can edit the files with notepad to adress the localized .dll file for your country.
After this to be able to use the input methods i did what nicksalgado said and change
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip\DefaultIm
to {42429691-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9} to use Block recognizer as default im

Hi
I have the "RUU_Topaz_S_HTC_SPA_2.16.412.1_Radio_Sign_Topaz_61.44tc.25.32_4.49.25.17_Ship", and has the same problem that you describe. I use the HTC Pure from AT&T, and in the original AT&T ROM the Block Recognizer work it just fine. Is there a way to captura a cab to use to solve this problem from the original AT&T Rom?? Regards
OK The tweak worked for me. Now I have got rid of that annoying keyboard. Anyway I would like to have the option of choosing the keyboard in a drop down list like before the rom update. Now the block recognizer is the one and only input method.

How to desactivate properly and completely block recognizer (register and so on) of my Topaz now, because I want tu use the SPB Back Up of my Topaz on my Touch2..and I am sure I will Have some problems with this change..?

It's not a good idea to use a full backup file from one device to a different one.
Transcriber (EN), Block Recognizer & Letter Recognizer for X2 in attach file
works fine
Sounds good. From where and which phone are those? From the X2 previous firmware or just windows mobile?
Thanks
Fadi you'r a GENIUS man
thx habibi i'm starting to love my X2 again because of this
btw is there any other cab to get the contacts more detailed like windows 6.1 or outlook? i would appreciate it a lot
Thank you very much! Works great on X2.
What do these programs do?
Screenshots in attach
double post
Transcriber u can write many characters anywhere in the screen
Block Recognizer, Letter Recognizer u can write one character in windows opened only
Thanks. This is what I am searching for so long.
not working... please help
i really hated myself for upgrading my x2 to mr2. i lost the transcriber/letter/block recognizer which i really found helpful...
i installed both files already but did not notice any changes, there is still no transcriber...
do i have to open a program in the file manager?
You have to tap on the keyboard icon on bottom when in a parogram that uses keyboard. Then the selection comes up. I guess since those programs are not installed by SE in ROM, they don't appeat in the keyboard setting.
But when you are in Word i.e., you can tap on the bottom and then select the other options. Hope that helps........
thank you very much mike. but i already did that. there is no selection (block/letter/etc) that pops out. instead, it is still the screen keyboard. it made me feel like installing the two cab files did not work... i did a soft reset already. the screenshots attached by _____ did not appear....
im still hoping there might be something wrong, which may be fixed with the help of people around here... what do you think? i really want the letter recognizer back... i tried to use "calligrapher" program but the recognition was too slow...
Many thanks. Letter recogniser is now as good as my X1.
You are a legend!
Not working on my x2 either...
didn't find anything noticeable
i wonder why on some people, this thread/fix worked... while on some, it didn't... what do you think is the problem?
stupid me
i was not able to pay attention on michalelthemage's instruction.... guys! this fix works! JUST LONG PRESS THE KEYBOARD ICON and four menus will pop out... keyboard, transcriber, block and letter recognizer...
salam... great job,, thnx brother,,,,
I used to switch between transcriber and keyboard... when i long press button it takes 10 to 12 seconds to display the menu where i could switch between transcriber and keyboard.... is this the same for everyone ?.... why it takes so long to display the options screen....
working perfect on my x2
thank you, i was looking for some app like that
just installed it, looks good
Thank you, it was useful!
