Text Prediction and punctuation marks [N97]

Hi!
I've been using 6310i for a veeery long time
Recently I decided to buy N97.
And I have a question concerning the Text Prediction feature.
Very often when I insert a word I'd like to use one of punctuation marks. For example a comma or a full stop.
So after my desired predictive text is inserted I use the "1" button.
And if the punctuation mark is not what I want, e.g. a comma appears and I want a full stop then I press the * button repeatedly to get a desired punctuation mark.
Recently I installed Custom Dictionary application from Nokia Beta Labs.
And when I edited a list of all custom words that have been added I was surprised to see that there were a lot of words with commas, full-stops, question marks at the end of exactly the same words.
So I made some tests.
It seems that when you insert a desired word and you use the "1" button to insert a punctuation mark and then you use * - the words is automatically saved to the custom dictionary with this punctuation mark at the end.
Do you think this is intentional or maybe I am using the feature incorrectly?

Thanks guys for your posts!
@The_Funkateer
If you imagine that the same word is automatically saved to the custom dictionary but with various punctuation marks at the end - you have the answer.
You can notice that always the last used punctuation mark is used.
And sometimes when you insert a word and a punctuation mark and you use * you will see that a totally different word with the same punctuation may appear (if the word has the same combination of keys).
I suppose and I think I'm right that N95 treats "word + punctuation" as a completely new word and moreover the phone saves it automatically and secretly to the custom dictionary even if we don't want them to be saved.
@chanchan05
Sure, but it has nothing in common with the beta version of Custom Dict.
In my case the Dict works as expected.
It just helped me to discover what is on the list of my custom words and I was really shocked to see over 2000 words (each word repeated several times with different punctuations at the end).
You can make tests to notice what happens every time when you are writing a message.
Insert a word, add a punctuation and use * several times.
Then use the Custom Dict app to edit the list of custom words.
@foxmeister
Thanks for the info.
As I can see you are now using the N900.
Does it work better in N900?

  • AE text replacement script, Hebrew characters and punctuation marks

    Hi,
    I'm using a script to replace text on one of my AE projects. When I use English characters it work prefect, the problem is once I'm trying to replace the text with Hebrew I get small arrows (as shown in the attached screen grab) before and after punctuation marks.
    Any idea what can cause this kind of behavior, is it script related or the base AE file?

    These appear to be glyphs that should be substituted. Could be something to do with specific text flow or multi-variate glyphs that are substituted based on the context of neighboring characters. In any case, short of manually fixing it I don't think there is any way to get this right. AE is quite limited in dealing with any of this stuff and in the past you actualyl needed the Middel East versiosn to get correct RTL writing at all...

  • E52 prediction and punctuation

    Everytime I end a sentence and move to add a period the "&" symbol comes up by default and I have to open the list and scroll down to the period. This is maddening since a period is the punctuation I use the most. Can I adjust this somehow? I don't want the "&" symbol on the top of the list. It's the same with words....commonly used words are way down the list and esoteric nonsense gets put in the first position. My old Nokia 3100 learned what words were used most and also had common words at the top. I hate texting on this phone because of having to scroll down for several words and most punctuation.
    Any tips?

      Getting the "&" in the way you describe is not normal behaviour on the E52. It will in predictive text enter a period after a word if the "1"  key is pressed even if this is keyed without spacing away from the word. That is, assuming English, if you enter "aat1" you will likely get "cat." and if you key "aat 1" you will likely get "cat .".
    Why you are getting a & instead I would not know.
    Regarding the "esoteric nonsense" these are probably words that you have miskeyed and so have been added to the dictionary. Have you downloaded Custom Dictionary from the Nokia Beta website? It allows the dictionary to be edited and so misspelled or unwanted words to be edited out. It works fine on the E52 (well it does for me ).

  • Text messages and imessages marked as delivered yet not received since last update. I cannot make sense of the troubleshooting page, why does this complex machine not just work?.

    I updated my iphone -again, and now my girlfriend (and who knows who else) is not reliably receiving messages. I try sending as iMessage and as SMS and have iMessage checked in my options and send as text message if iMessage doesn't work also checked. It was working fine, I updated, now it's patchy at best and although messages are marked as delivered they aren't and I don't know unless I phone the recipient up. Have tried restarting, resetting and digging through the trouble shooting pages... Apple products used to just work, now my phone is like a puzzle that I have to solve. I'm ditching apple in October when my contract is up but would like to send texts in the meantime, any ideas?

    Awesomez. Thanks apple support community, very helpful indeed. About as helpful as a phone that stops sending texts after the manufacturers update it. No worries though, I got a HTC yesterday, put my sim in and guess what? It works. Close this thread down thanks mods.

  • When I right click on an image in an email message, select "save image as..." , then try and open it, its not a pic, but letters, numbers and punctuation marks. what am i doing wrong?

    I save it to a folder and try to open it up like i did before. I never had this problem with Internet Explorer. Please help.

    If you right-click the image and choose View Image Info, what shows as "Type"?
    If it shows JPEG image, for example, make sure to save the file with a .jpg file extension. If you place quotation marks around the entire file name, e.g.,
    "myfile.jpg"
    then you can ensure that the name as the correct extension. Does that help?

  • Adding punctuation marks above text letters

    I frequently use the Welsh language in my letters and e-mails and have not yet found a way of placing the circumflex(^) as a punctuation mark over certain vowels, which can convey a quite different meaning to a word if added or omitted.There is a Welsh option in the Keyboard viewer, but this seems no different to the British version.
    The mark(^) is, of course, available on the 6 key uppercase, but how do I place it OVER the vowel in question?
    Glad of any suggestions,
    Diolch yn fawr!
    Hen Gymro.

    Caution
    It's not sure than a character available in TexEdit may be used in AppleWorks.
    TextEdit is Unicode aware while AppleWorks is not.
    The chars with a circumflex usable in AppleWorks are:
    Â â Ê ê Ô ô Û û Î î
    Here are some which aren't:
    Ĉ ĉ Ĥ ĥ Ĵ ĵ Ŝ ŝ Ŵ ŵ Ŷ ŷ
    For my own use, I built a table of favourites for the Character Palette tool.
    In this one, I put the "accented" chars usable in AppleWorks.
    So I may enter them by a simple drag and drop.
    It's a pity but with Mac OS 10.4.x, the good old double click is no longer usable to enter a char from the palette when AppleWorks is active.
    Some one decided to disable it because some users complained because double clicking an Unicode character gave an odd insertion.
    This is what in France we describe with the formula (throw away the baby with the bath's water).

  • Voice recognition in iOS7 no longer recognizes the spoken word "period" as a punctuation mark.  Any solution to this?

    iOS7 changed a feature of voice recognition.
    When composing message using voice recognition (not Siri, just the "microphone" icon typically in either iMessage or e-mail) the voice recognition app recognizes spoken words like "comma", "question mark" and "exclamation mark" as punctuation.  For example if you said "Hello exclamation mark how are you question mark", the voice recognition system would type "Hello!  How are you?"  This is perfect and works very well.
    Prior to iOS7 it used to recognize the word "period" as well.  If you said "Hello period  how are you question mark" it would respond with: "Hello.  How are you?" Now, after the iOS7 update, if you say "Hello period how are you question mark", you get "Hello period how are you?" typed back to you.  I've tried saying "dot" instead, and it will place a dot in the text, but it doesn't recognize it as a period: "Hello.how are you?"
    Is there some setting I'm missing?  Is there a different voice command to get a period?
    Edit:  UPDATE.  **SOLVED**  Apparently there are two ways this can happen.  1.) UK Keyboard or 2.) UK Siri.   I did not have the English (UK) keyboard enabled - just plain "English", but I had turned on the English (UK) Siri because I thought he sounded a little like Jarvis.  Anyway, apparently, that's what did it.  As soon as I turned Siri back to English (United States) saying "period" works.  Note:  If you want to keep the UK Siri, you have to say "Full Stop" to get a period.

    Thanks for the heads up!  That was driving me nuts, too.  I was using the Australian English because she sounded cuter than Siri.  "Full stop" works for Australian as well.
    Now if I can just figure out why the voice to text suddenly can't understand a word or two in almost every long sentence.  It almost comical how badly the translation suddenly works.  I hope it isn't due to the Australian choice as well.  I've already gotten used to her...  : /

  • Safari Doubles My Punctuation Marks..

    Does anybody here know why Safari often doubles my punctuation? Here is an example:
    Hello,, Bob.. Send it via smpt..mac..com.. I can’’t fix it..
    It usually happens when I hit the next keystroke (even the space bar) after typing the punctuation mark, although I can back space and delete the extra character. The page also often freezes while I’m writing text, so I’ve started writing my text in Tex-Edit Plus and just pasting it into the text field in Safari. Even when the page freezes, I can usually still view pages in other tabs. I think that the freezing might happen often when I move by clicking the mouse in a text field and/or use the tab key to change text fields. Have you heard of this before? Thanks.

    This problem was solved in another thread by David Gimeno Gost.

  • Combining smart quotes and inch marks?

    Dilemma! I have smart quotes turned on because I need them. I also need to be able to use inch marks in the same document. I have searched the Help files with no luck. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to have both smart quotes and inch marks in the same Pages document?
    Thanks in advance!
    Powermac G5 & Powerbook 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8)
    Powermac G5 & Powerbook 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    You can indeed combine smart quotes and the character that indicates inches, by using the appropriate inch mark character from the system-wide Character Palette. To do this, you will need access the Input Menu at the top right of the menu bar. If you don't have the Input Menu visible, go into the International System Preferences, in the Input Menu tab, check the "Show Input Menu in Menu Bar" option at the bottom of the panel, and check "On" for the Character Palette. This will put a little flag on the right side of your menu bar -- this is the Input Menu.
    From the Input Menu, select the Character Palette. With the palette open, choose the Punctuation category. You will be presented with a wide array of punctuation characters, including proper inch and foot marks (which are actually "prime" and "double prime" marks, and are angled, unlike straight quotes). Select in Pages where you want the character to go, and then double-click it, and it will be inserted. The prime and double-prime marks are not considered quotes by the system, and so won't be curlified.

  • Changing the Color of Crop and Bleed Marks from Registration to Black

    Hello all,
    I have been searching the web and have tried numerous things but I can't seem to solve this problem.  In InDesign crop marks and bleed marks are printed in "Registration" color.  I understand why that is needed for plate printing.  However I am laser printing and I need those marks to be in "Black" color.  I have tried to edit the cropmark script by changing "Registration" to "Black" on the line with myRegColor.  I have tried changing the printer setting to "Pure Black".  However I can't get the crop and bleed marks to print in "Black".   I have been on various websites and while there are people asking the question I haven't found a answer that works.  I have searched this community as well but haven't found an answer that I understand.  Before I manually make crop marks I want to make sure I am not missing something completely obvious. 
    With laser printing there is a different charge for color and B&W.  The fact that the crop marks are coming in as color and not black means B&W pages are counted as color in the printing cost.  I have tested the same docuement (which was just one page full of sample black text) with and without crop/bleed marks.  When the document is printed without the marks the printer clicks as a B&W page.  When it is printed with the marks the printer click as a color page. 
    I am creating the doc in InDesign and exporting to Acrobat for printing.  I am using Creative Cloud so I think I have the most up to date version of InDesign.
    Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

    With CS6 or later you can export to grayscale and in that case the crops will be black only. Like this:
    You should set your Appearance of Black to Rich black otherwise 100% black CMYK might export to something less than 100% grayscale. When you check the PDF in Acrobat set the simulation profile to the grayscale profile you export to.

  • Change user's OU with punctuation mark doesn't work by Rename User View

    Hi,
    I have problem with moving user between OU by Rename User View when punctuation mark in name of OU is used.
    I have own WF that assign user to specific OU depending on value of Select component. When value of this component is changed (against previous value) I call Rename View, that assign user to new OU. For OU without punctuation mark Rename View works OK.
    After finishing WF with punctuation mark in OU this Error appers:
    java.lang.RuntimeException: There is no such object on the server.
    But creating new AD account (by role assignment) in OU with punctuation work OK. In select component is rule that replace puctional character in correct form.

    Hi,
    I discovered following:
    - if name of OU in AD is without space (e.g. test,sample) so DN record is test\,sample and user is moved into this OU.
    - if name of OU in AD is with space (e.g. test, sample) so DN record is still test\,sample and user isn't moved.
    So problem is with empty space. How can I preserve space in DN name? I found something in documentation but I doesn't work for me.
    +Special Characters in FieldValues
    If you have a field value with a comma (,) or double quote (") character, or you want to preserve leading or trailing spaces, you must embed your field value within a pair of double quotes ("field_value"). You then need to replace double quotes in the field value with two double quote (") characters. For example, "John ""Johnny"" Smith" results in a field value of John "Johnny" Smith. +
    (from IDM Business Administrator's Guide, p.77)
    Guided this information I put value of slctOrganizationalUnitUzivatele into "". But this didn't work. Is good idea to have space in DN?
    Thanks for help.

  • Question marks replace apostrophes and quote marks incontextediting

    Every time a client (www.edpilolla.com) pushes "Done" in InContextEditing, all of the quotation and apostrophe marks are converted to question marks.
    EXAMPLE: "Please answer my question or I'll be stumped." Becomes: ?Please answer my question or I?ll be stumped.? 
    This only happens with one client (www.edpilolla.com). He is logging into incontextediting using a Mac running Mozilla Firefox 3.5.5. to edit web book: http://edpilolla.com/stories/geek_sex/geek-sex_ch01.html
    What do I need to do so that this client can edit pages with incontextediting without quotation marks and apostrophes becoming question marks after he pushes "Done"?

    In your HTML...
    Change this line:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    to this:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    that should fix the issue. Good luck & let me know how it works out for you.

  • Change text size and colour of report values ?

    Hi,
    I have a formula as part of a BEx query in version 3.5 and I'd like to make the values of this formula stand out more by either changing the text size of this one row and/or changing the colour.
    I've already selected the "highlighting" option but this only changes the colour to a light blue colour.
    Does anyone know if it's possible to change the text size and colour of one or more rows of a report?
    Thanks.

    HI Mark,
    Greetings.
    Your requirement can be met by using exceptions. It can not change/increase the text size but it can give you color coding based on the conditions you set while creating query.
    Open your query in Designer and click on exception button on the top menu bar. Define your condition on whatever key figure you want to get the color coding and execute your report.
    Let me know if this is what you were looking for.
    Thanks
    Sachin
