Add stuff to letters using ocr and camera - Glass Q&A

I want to develop an app that do this:
when it recognize a unique pattern of words it's will add stuff *around* the word ("scoring the word")
lets say the word is "שלום" (Hello in Hebrew) i want the glass to add around it "שָׁלוֹם" (it's signs that help children read this word correctly) .
is this possible?
if so can you give me some example code that do something like this so i will have a starting point?

[APP] Road Rage -[R]- 2/22/11 -[V]- 1.0

Name: Road Rage
This is my first App for Windows Phone 7 (or any system actually). It is a simple to use program to tell those other drivers what you think! This small and quick loading program presents you with 9 words to display on your screen in big bold letters. Sayings included:
Wait!
Move!
Jerk!
Idiot!
Blinker!
Faster!
Slower!
My Bad!
Sorry!
The other advantage is they all have a 'mirror' mode, so other drivers can read the messages in their rear view mirrors! This was harder to do then just write the characters of the message backwards!
Takes advantage of the users selected theme as well. It is also very small and takes up little storage space. Screenshots of main screen and one of the mirror messages is attached below.
*download*
It is available for free, ad supported, on the Windows Phone 7 Market Place. Either search for 'Road Rage' on the Marketplace or click the following link (should launch Zune software): Get 'Road Rage'
*download*
I originally had a few more harsh words in the program, but it was rejected by Microsoft for excessive use of adult language. It took several tries to get it approved. I originally had the words "ASS" and "****er" and was rejected, so I tried to go all Battlestar Galactica and substitute "Fracker!", but it was still rejected. So I then removed them and went with "Jerk!" and "Idiot!". I also predict that this program will be emulated/copied onto the iPhone and Android system by somebody else fairly soon, but I did it first!
If there is enough demand I will update the program to allow users to create their own messages and save them to the menu for quick easy selection, to by-pass Microsofts explicit language policy.
*WARNING* Operating a portable electronic device while driving is dangerous and is probably illegal in your area, and probably pretty stupid too. Use at your own risk!
Nice app but my road rage includes much harsher words and phrases 0
Hmm... Have you ever tried a finger? Much more effective and no ads at all LOL
P.S. BTW, do you really think that someone is able to see a handset's screen at the rear-view mirror??? ;-/

Yes, they are, we tested it. That is why the messages are short, so they can take the full screen. The text will be larger then US license plate lettering on any screen bigger then 3.5 inches. And it has more contrast then most license plate color combination's, so it should be no problem at all for most people and a decent distance away.
maybe you can made a small area where we can type a word(short to respect te full screen)
You must make an Android version
What if you have tinted windows ? Also, holding UP the phone like that while driving is kind of dangerous. The effort versus affect isn't worth the trouble. Try that in parts of California and you'll be wearing your WP7 up your arse, get shot at, or laughed at such a feeble minded display of cowardice. Better to be a defensive driver to avoid an accident.
I don't see anything that comes in handy! Nice effort mate but i still prefer my mouth and my finger.. it's much faster than Unlock your phone, open app and show it to the driver!
still, niceeee XD
I would pay a dollar to show my own text in this program

[Q] Word spelling/own words

Hi.
When typing (i'm mostly using the keypad keyboard, (to large hands ) whenever i see that there is an word not in the dictionary, i would like to add it, and in the same time correct whatever the phone allready has suggested..
Here's the thing... i can not find an easy way to do it... now i have to mark the word and press/hold to get the menu to add it to the dictionary.. this alone is a bit enoying, but if its a completely different word, and i correct it in the popup box, when i hit ok, it does not insert the word i just corrected, but leaves the word i originaly typed... so then i have to delete the word, and type again... this seems a bit unnessesary..
Anyone know of a better way?
Stock rom, stock LG keypad/keyboard
+1, i'd love to have the ability to import, say, text files and let the dictionary picks it up from that.

[APP] 9-Keyboard -- Nokia-style typing

Hey guys,
I found an app which allows you to type text messages like on an old Nokia cellphone (except T9).
You can download it for free and without any ads from the marketplace: http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=a01a764e-265d-418b-b7e6-802936a692e0
The app is just great. It would be awesome if you could make something to introduce it in the system of the phone, so when you want to write an email or type an web adress you can change from full qwerty to this 1-9
Great job
So happy of hearing that someone still cares about alphanumeric keyboard, I was desperate because I couldn't find any alternative to QWERTY. If you'll be able to include T9 I think that your app would be perfect to text sms quickly with one hand
however I wanted to suggest something like that:
I've noticed that in settings(system)/keyboard, are already available 12-key (alphanumeric) keyboards for some languages (chinese, japanese, korean). I was wondering if it was possible to modify them in a simple way to obtain a full-system integrated keypad with T9 too =)
Btw. In your app, you cannot write numbers 2 and 0.
Nice
Just tried and rated it - nice little app, it's easy to get nostalgic using it
I can confirm the little bug about entering 0 and 2 of the previous poster, doesn't work right now.
Why not add an icon/function to paste the text to the clipboard? It's easy to do in the program, just 1 line of code, and like this one can also use the written text for e-mail, Twitter apps etc.
By the way, you gave the link to the US Marketplace. The app is probably available world wide; if you give the "deep link" as indicated in the details about the app on create.msdn.com the link will lead people directly to their particular, possibly non-US marketplace.

app list to long

After swiping to the applist, it is long and partialy not usefull. Is there any way to make out of this applist two or even three lists based on the needs, importance and use?
I agree and disagree, I mean that's what the alphabet letters are for, for you to skip through the list but at the same time I see what you mean. It would be nice to have two or three rows but then you have your brain washed, hard core fan boys that will say something ignorant like " Windows Phone isn't Android' or something silly like that.
Neat idea - have you logged on the following? http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/
Don't know if it is worth it?

I'm not sure if sinister has explained this, or if you didn't know about it.
Once you swipe to the application list, you can tap on the letter 'a' or whatever letter appears at the top. This will bring up the alphabet that you can then choose a letter.
If that's not enough, you can tap the magnify glass to search, type a couple of letters and quickly the app would appear in the short list.
I hope this helps.

Easy way to add new words to keyboard??

I speak a different language, not supported by any keyboard. Using google keyboard on my Galaxy S5, the new word would show in the suggestions as i was typing it, and I could click on it to add it to the library.
But now on the N6, I have to go through a long process that takes 3-4 steps just to add one word.
Any easy way to add words while I am typing?
Also, any way to save my added words library, or save the words through google? So in the future, I can just add the library of words in case I change devices, or wipe data, etc.
