keyboard recomendations

[Guest bkeaver]

hi,

my previous device was a HTC Polaris. I became a custom to the keyboard used on it. can anyone suggest a decent keyboard that works well on the omnia? thanks to all your suggestions :rolleyes:

SPB Keyboard is currently the best, it works in landscape and portrait , you can set it to have vibrating and/or sound feedback and it has many language layout options.

TouchPal is great too, but only for Portrait .... It does not use the full screen width in Landscape

Resco Keboard Pro is also good, but it sometimes "skips" a letter and the default skin only works good for Portrait on Omnia. (There are skins available which have landscape support though)

Zoomboard is ok, but only for portrait ... It does not use the full screen width in Landscape .

or

PocketCM Keyboard it's for free, skinable and quite good (my opinion).

SPB Keyboard is awesome. You have several dozen language formats including Arabic and Cyrillic. You can choose from half screen to a full screen mode, which, in my opinion, is very user friendly, and you can also download additional great looking skins - for free! It has tactile feedback for button pushes, a very thorough built in dictionary... all the bells and whistles! You can consider my opinion biased, however, because I am a very big fan of SPB software in general.

igo Stowaway works great :rolleyes:

I have tried the SPB and yes it looks ok, but on the Omnia , the xt9 disables the SPB dictionary , so it does not work, it is important for the non English speaking language.

Any help here ?

I have tried it on Omnia , but its dictionary does not work because of the xt9. How did u manage it ?

[Guest pekkala89]

I'm using this keyboard at the moment which i have attached to this post. It's the best so far of the tested ones. Only problem is that it doesn't capitalize letter after sentence.

I just loaded up the trial version of the SPB Keyboard to see if I like it...it looks pretty good, but I cannot seem to get it to do any word completion...can you help? I also noticed that the standard Windows keyboard doesn't do word completion (even if I set it up in the Options). the only way I can get word completion is with the Samsung keyboard set to xt9...

Here is a program CAB file that will correct the word suggestion for up to 4 words when you use the SPB Keyboard.

SPB keyboard for me :(

[Guest rlfy]

TouchPal work great for me

[Guest racerfern]

TouchPal is the winner for me after I tried most of the others.

[Guest TheDrizzle]

FingerKeyboard is good too. There is an active thread on this forum about it, but here is the main dev post @ xda:

Thats what I'm using, but I will probably switch to touchPal once they release a landscape compatible version.

[Guest fud.theturtle]

I like touchpal for portrait mode but landscape is unusuable currently unfortunately. It works fairly well with the 2 letter button system in portrait. Though it does complete words quite well with the 2 button s ystem. It's not very good at determining mispressed keys. It does however sometimes for some strange reason just not recognize very common words in the two letter button system. If I could get it to work landscape with single button, I think it would be a great keyboard. I'd buy it if they did. The default keyboard is now my default. I'll try SPB.
