Quote from: Topkatyo;1060151That sounds like a marvelous idea that would be really, really useful.
I probably would not use it, though, since I often avoid doing things the easy way for some reason.
However, that's still awesome, and when you release it, I will tell all my friends about it.

Also, did you include slang words, or, at least, as many as you could?

Yes... the library has over 200,000 words and names. As far as I can tell it has missed nothing except for some internet slang of recent years (which may not be true words by oxford's definition). Every word and name I have tried thus far IS in the library. That is the main difference between what I'm working on and other software. Most other software doesn't know words that are rarely used or are uncommon, and for the sake of simplicity and file-size they only use words of frequent use. This library even includes real words that Google cannot find.

Of course once the system is up and running I should be able to make updates and adjustments to the library if new previously unknown words become popular enough to be listed.

It's a hard choice, but I think words like "lol" should not really be included by default. If you choose, you can add words like this to your personal library by using them once or twice. If you forcibly and noticeably use words that the system does not know, it will remember. But you may have to use these words several times before the relevance of the words are recognized as higher than other words that closely match it. This way if you forcibly misspell something one time, and don't realize it, the program will not "help" you misspell that word from that point onward.

Oh snap, that's unbelievable!

An update - YAY

I've finally got some time on my hands, not having a job and all (I should really do something about that), so I've been digging back into this project, and making some major strides toward a working, stable Beta.

I've perfected the searching algorithm/method... Load time is less than a second, and it searches as you type without you even noticing, close to 10 nanoseconds for typical searches...It also uses considerably less Ram than before, which is a bonus.

There are still some bugs and issues that have to be addressed (there are some minor inconsistencies in my library building program), but once the Beta is stable I'll be releasing it to whoever wants it...

I will be limiting it's functionality to XP and Vista for starters... Just to make things easier on me for debugging.

I will probably save the phrase/sentence auto-learning/completion for a "pro" version of the program to be released later.

I liked when everyone had a KAI avatar.

Someone has to say it
No?

Alright Ill do it


Void 3 plz

Sounds interesting but atm I type fast enough so I don't really see any huge need for more software to slow down my computer although I hope you have your primary group of interest set out.

Well, I myself am a very fast typist, have been touch typing for 12 years, BUT, with KAI I can type equally fast with one hand tied behind my back using single-handed mode. It might just help save me from having to get surgery on my wrist in the future... Carpel tunnel is 4 sux.
 
oh, and FUCK YOuuuuuuuuu!

Quote from: Deep Blue;1404193oh, and FUCK YOuuuuuuuuu!

For you.... anything


You never told me how you did the loadingscreen tunnel effect which you promised you would do why wont you love me WHYYYYY BLUECLOCK WHYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Yeah about the wrist, Ive got major wristproblems though that's fairly not nice.
Well frankly this project sounds to awesome to be true, I mean if it is so amazing how come microsoft has not capitalized the idea yet?
And can one man really make a differance?
Stay tuned.

Don't you people remember, he finished it forever ago. It was all over the front page.

I'd like to beta test. When you're done, license it to cell phone companies and search engines for their autocomplete programs!

Quote from: Deep Blue;1060482It's a hard choice, but I think words like "lol" should not really be included by default.

That would be silly anyway, since it's beside the point of the words' existence anyway, since they're made to be shortenings that you can type without the effort of typing out the whole thing.

Define these words: "Fanny rash"
"Arsefuck"
"innit"
GO!

I wanna test your future gadget!

Don't forget the patent, terms of use, and register the trademark!

Also blue, I'm not sure how this 'one handed typing thing' works...

If you start writing odontologically, lets say, you've written 'odo'

How will it automatically type odontologically instead of odorants or odontoglossum?

I'd just like to know how it works a bit better (sorry if it's a stupid question)

Dear sweet jesus.

You sir deserve a pat on the back for all of your effort.

Sign me up!

I would love to test this creation of yours. I often trouble myself with my typing with constant letter mishaps and whatnot.

..also I love to type with one hand and would like the speed of it to increase greatly!

Sweet.

Picked this baby up from a pawn shop last week and I haven't put it down since.
Great guitar.

Did you get pronunciation data for at least one accent for all or most of the words?

Holy shit.
I wanna Beta.

I would test it, but I'm Dutch.

The one-handed typing scheme is quite different, and has a small learning curve. Lets say you want to use "Left-handed" mode, the keys that your right hand would hit are now mirrored onto the left side of the keyboard. So hitting "F" is actually "F or J". The software uses the same algorithm to determine the most likely word you are trying to type, with multiple possibilities. It uses the same CPU as regular typing, but slightly more Ram to do this.

At first this sounds difficult. But I've tried it a few times, and it's surprising how easy it is to learn, especially if you are already a touch typist. Your hands already "know" how to mirror each other, so it only takes an hour or so to get used to, then it feels cumbersome to go back to using both hands. The idea is that you can eventually learn to switch between hands to rest one while the other types. This feature is likely to be a godsend for individuals who have had injuries or a loss of limb, since they usually have to "learn" their own way of typing across the keyboard with one hand (which can be quite difficult), or they end up buying a $500 specialized keyboard, that still requires them to hold a special button to choose the keys of the other hand, etc.  I imagine many people would like to type with their left, leaving their right free for the mouse, phone, coffee, whatever.

No pronunciation is currently in the library, not sure why it would be needed honestly. I don't plan on adding text-to-speech.
