Touch Screen Text Entry?

Can anyone here tell me of OX X 10.5 will support a touch screen?
Here is what I am looking to accomplish.
I am going to build a CarPuter with a Mac Mini, I will have a touch screen mounted in the dash. I will be using RouteBuddy with a GlobalSat BT-359 GPS Receiver. I will be routing the audio from the mac mini to an amplifier that will run to the interior speakers.
What I need to know is if there is a Mac OS X application (or if it will spport it native) that will allow me to have an on screen keyboard for text entry to applications. I would hate to have to always carry a wireless keyboard with me to do text entry. My other alternative is to get a frogpad that can be used for text entry.
However I will also need to know if my finger movement on the screen will move the mouse, I would love to be able to move my finger to the dock, tap to open iTunes etc.

I loled hard.Purely biased comparison and the screen size of N95 8gb is bigger than W960i.You really don't know the true capabilities of N95.Even a N81 beats W960, if we don't consider camera and touchscreen and is half the price.
you can lole as long and as hard as you feel
but when you own both phones it is not very difficult to choose which one is the best
and it is not the N95 for me

  • Suggestions - predictive text and text entry

    I don't know if this forum is intended for suggestions but here are a couple anyway.
    1. Because email and sms text do not operate in landscape mode the keyboard is very small. This leads to a large number of text entry errors compared to ther devices I have used. The screen sensitivity is excellent so this is ont a problem with using a touch device. Allowing landscape data entry would go a long wawy to solving this problem - the keyboard when used with safari in landscape mode is a lot better (perhaps 10% of the missed keys). An alternative which would be better for single handed use would be to ditch the qwerty layout and have a key pad that runs to 4 or 5 rows of keys instead of 3. In most cases it is only neccesary to see a single line of text entry so there is plenty of screen re-estate to do this.
    2. The predictive text feature on the iPhone is very poor. This is due to a fundamental error in its design. The current implementation assumes that the current word typed is complete but may be misspelled. To be more useful the feature needs to assume that the characters typed are correct and suggest complete words that start with the fragment available. The predictive text in Windows mobile is infinately better that that of the iPhone (and one of the few features I miss from my old phone!).
    If this is the wrong place for posting these suggestion - sorry

  • Text Entry Boxes and their content not being captured in Automatic Recording

    I have searched the forums here and elsewhere extensively and whilst I have found people with similar issues, I have yet to find a solution. My problem is this:
    I am trying to record myself using a piece of software which contains numerous text fields. In the past, when using Captivate 3, I would simply fill out these fields and Captivate would record my entries automatically. When the project was played back, the training simulation would pause and allow the user to type in the text field and provided the entry matched the options I had defined, the simulation would continue to the next step.
    So, my colleague and I have since bought Adobe Tech. Comms. Suite 2 and have upgraded Captivate 3 to version 4. Ever since doing this we have both been unable to successfully capture text entry boxes with their content when recording automatically in any mode. We have checked and triple checked the settings to make sure that the automatic capture of text entry in fields is turned on yet we still cannot get Captivate to perform this task it once so easily could. We both suffer from the same problem on both of our installations of Captivate 4. We have tried recording in all modes with no success.
    I am tearing my hair out as I need to come up with some sample content for a major Governmental client which would be worth a 5 figure sum to my company and I really don't relish having to manually create every text entry box as there are a LOT of them in this application!
    I have also reported this as a bug to Adobe using the correct form. As yet, no response.
    I would really appreciate any genuine help that can be offered by you guys.
    In desperation,
    Rob.

    Ok, I think I've sussed it!
    I've been pulling my hair out for weeks on this and after posting on here, I decided to try something and I think I may have found the problem.
    I work with a laptop as I am a Trainer and therefore quite mobile. When I'm in the office, I dock my laptop and use the Extended Desktop functionality of Windows so I have my laptop screen and a second 19" monitor which i find incredibly useful as screen real estate is always at a premium. And this is where I believe the problem lies.
    I performed a simple test and have repeated this test with identical outcomes everytime. Here is what I did. I fired up Captivate and Outlook and opened up a new mail window in Outlook. I then set Captivate to record the new mail window and hit record. I typed some text into the To field and the Subject field and then stopped the recording. I then previewed the results. When the new mail window was on my primary screen, (i.e the laptop) the Text Entry Box recording worked 100% fine. However, if the new mail screen was residing on my secondary screen, i.e. the monitor, the Text Entry Box recording failed!
    So it would seem that Captivate 4 has an issue with seeing the text entered on a secondary monitor when Windows is running in Extended Desktop mode. I am absolutely certain this wasn't an issue with Captivate 3 as I created plenty of content without any of these problems and I was using the Extended Desktop back then.
    So, if anyone else is having the same issue, and you are running an Extended Desktop, try what I did above.
    In the meantime, I am raising this issue with Adobe in the hope they can get this fixed, but at least now I can carry on with my content creation
    Regards,
    Rob.

  • Is anyone with a Macbook experiencing interference with their iPhone's touch screen?

    At first I thought my iPhone's touch screen was broken so I contacted apple. Before we could finish our chat, my internet crashed and we couldnt finish. Tonight I'm on my MacBook air wathcing Netflix and trying to use my iphone to text. The interference is so bad that when i hold my thumb on the screen in one spot, the phone will scroll for itself and typing is practically impossible. Is anyone else expierencing this problem? This problem didn't exist with my 4, But when I use my computer, my 5S is practically impossible to use near my Mac.

    Nope.

  • Text Entry Captions not created

    Using Adobe Captivate 5.0 - Training mode is not creating the Text Captions for Text Entry Boxes, even though selected in the Training/Recording settings. Creates Text Entry box, but no Text Caption. Really want this to work when recording SAP simulations, but doesn't even seem to work when recording internet browser or MS Oulook either. Any ideas?  Thanks.

    Hello again
    Perhaps it will help if I simply describe how Captivate usually works. There are several ways to record. There is "Full Motion" (FMR) where everything is recorded just like a movie. Not the best way of working bit is possible. In FMR no captions or anything of the sort is added during the recording process, but you may add them later if you like.
    Then there is the "slide by slide" capture mode. Each click of the mouse generally results in a screen capture. But this mode of capturing has four variations.
    * Demonstration
    * Training Simulation
    * Assessment Simulation
    * Custom
    Demonstration mode provides text captions for activity. Click this or that. Also, highlight boxes are added along with tracking mouse movement.
    Both of the simulation modes will ignore text captions, mouse tracking and highlight boxes. Instead, these modes simply add Click Boxes and Text Entry Boxes to allow "simulation" or interacting with the Captivate. These objects offer "Feedback" captions to indicate Correct or Incorrect actions.
    From what you have described, you want to enable "Custom" recording mode where you choose the mix of elements you get.
    However, NONE of these modes will analyze what is happening and describe it to the user. Instead, they may or may not recognize what you are clicking on in order to create captions. You might see funky names like "Click the TechnicalNameForControl" control.
    Does this help any?

  • Touch screen stopped working. Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??

    Hello all, I could use some help with my iPhone 4, I hope this is the best place to ask!
    The Problem:
    I want to do a full backup of my iphone to either itunes or to icloud. Unfortunately the iphone got wet and isn’t working properly. The phone turns on and still works, but the touch screen no longer works. I have a passcode lock on the phone so iTunes will not allow me to backup it up until I type in the passcode (which I cannot physically do). WiFi had been turned off before it got wet so it won’t connect to any known WiFi networks either to backup automatically to iCloud.
    What happened:
    I had been travelling for 6 months and went tubing on a river with my iphone in a dry bag. Unfortunately the dry bag failed and filled with water ruining my iphone.
    What I’d like to do:
    It’s an old phone and I was planning on buying a new iPhone anyway. I would love to do a full backup to either iCloud or to my computer so when I get a new iPhone I don’t lose anything. I’ve already connected it to my PC and downloaded all the photos and videos off the phone so at least I haven’t lost that, but I would like to be able to recover all the text messages, WhatsApp messages and notes I had created during my 6 months of travel.
    The last time it was backed up to my pc or to icloud was in April, so there are 6 months worth of very meaningful data I would love to keep to remind me of my travels!
    Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??
    iTunes recognizes the phone just now and I tried upgrading the phone to iOS7 in the hopes that it would first backup and then upgrade. Unfortunately all that happened is the phone upgraded to iOS7, but it didn’t backup to iTunes. Now the phone is stuck at the iOS7 welcome screen and I can’t do anything else with it.
    Any ideas or tips would be welcome!
    NOTE: This is NOT a jailbroken iPhone.

    If there is no other way around this, is there anyway to completely wipe the phone then??
    The Apple store agreed to give me a new iPhone 4 as a warranty replacement for $150 (I travel a lot and I have a factory unlocked phone, so this is still worth it for me).  But before I trade it in, I would like to make sure all my data is backed up on the device first.
    When I try and restore the phone now on iTunes, it says I have to turn off Find My iPhone on the phone first before I can restore it.  Now since I can't use the screen I can't really do that.
    So how do I completely wipe the iPhone???
    Thanks!

  • My iphone 5 touch screen seems to have a mind of its own. Please help

    My iphone 5 touch screen seems to have a mind of it's own. Whilst I am trying to type a text message it will quite often whilst i'm tapping on letters, typr different letters, or open up the edit messages to select and delete messages.
    The screen can quite often take up to 5 attempts to use the home button when the phone it locked to bring up the swipe to unlock, and even then sometimes it will take 4 or more attempts to swpie to unlock.
    Most recently I was on FB chatting and whilst typing, the letters were all coming out completely wrong, and then it was taking me into completely different screens, screens that whilst i'm tapping letters at the bottom on the screen, i'd have to ne touching a button at the top of the screem to actualy get into - yet my phone is doing it on it's own.
    It has even whilst sittig next to me on the bed, scrolled from my "home page" to the next page over ???
    i have spoken to Telstra who suggested a network restore, this did nothing. They suggested doing a back up, the a complete restore, which I am hesistant in doing as I have a fear of losing everything on my phone esxpecially my contacts, despite having done a back up.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Restart your iPhone...
    Hold down the sleep / wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to power off. Then hold down the sleep / wake button until you see the Apple logo.
    Try the keyboard. If that doesn't help, try force quitting the app you are using when the keyboard becomes unusable.
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the app quits.

  • What is going on with my iPhone 5s touch screen?!

    I bought my iPhone 5s in November of 2013. I've loved it so far, until about a month ago when I noticed a major problem. When I type on the keyboard vertically (haven't tried horizontal) different parts of my screen start being activated. For example, the amount of times I've been texting someone and end up sending a FaceTime request (so activating the top right corner) is ridiculous. I even tried posing this question originally off of my phone (why I thought that was smart, I'll never know), and I found myself typing in the question tab or refreshing the page or typing in the middle of random words every single time. I notice it very badly in iMessage, but I've also seen it happen on Facebook as well. There are times when I even find myself three pages back from where I was at first, because of typing/touching. Basically, I have no idea what's going on. Some days seem better than others, and other times I can barely send out a message to someone. It certainly helps when I slow down the pace of typing (I thought maybe hitting 'blank' parts in between keys was causing it), but alas this only helps mildly, and sometimes not at all. I also don't believe I see this touching error outside of typing (however, this could be because I don't notice it as overtly). It seems like if I was capable of recalibrating the touch screen, that would help. But the iPhone doesn't come with a recalibrating option other than wiping the phone. I'm just at a loss as to how typing the bottom half of my screen sends signals to the top half. Am I the only one facing this? Or does anyone have any remote clue as to what could be going on/can be done to stop this? Obviously, it's very inconvenient in my life.

    What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?
    Restart?
    Reset?
    Reset All Settings?
    Restore From Backup?
    Restore As New?

  • Text Entry with Tab Key not advancing to next slide

    I am using Captivate 1 to create a screen that has a text
    entry requiring the user to press the Tab key as the Shortcut Key.
    The users are having to press the Tab key multiple times to get the
    course to advance to the next slide. There does not seem to be a
    rhyme or reason to which text entries this occurs in, nor does
    there seem to be a pattern to the number of times or forcefulness
    in which the Tab key must be pressed, though more aggressive key
    presses have yielded better results. Sadly, requesting the users
    bang the Tab key with as much force as they can muster is not a
    viable option.
    Here are things I have tried:
    Decrease length of slide
    Increasing active time of the text entry
    Adding/removing playback control
    Deleting and recreating text entries
    If anyone has any idea what can be done to correct this
    problem, it would be much appreciated.

    Hi berrylicious877
    The following has worked for me in Cap1, so try it and see:
    Add the text entry box and include the submit button.
    Make the submit button transparent and edit text to a full
    stop at the smallest available font size (Captivate won't accept a
    submit button without something typed in and a full stop is the
    smallest thing available display wise)
    On the submit button, set the shortcut key to "Tab".
    My reasoning was that the shortcut key on the text entry box
    "activates" the box, thus allowing input and the shortcut key on
    the "submit" button "deactivates" the box so that the slide can
    move on as required.
    Please let us know if this helps.

  • Touch screen doesn't recognize my touch?

    My iphone started acting funny the other day. It would only recognize my touch occasionally and was very quick and jerky. Now I cannot unlock my phone at all, nor can I turn it off. The touch screen does not recognize my touch at all. The phone will ring and I can receive texts, but I cannot answer or access my telephone at all. I am very frustrated because I have only had the phone for a couple weeks longer than the warranty and the Apple Store wants to charge me $199.00 to have it fixed. It seems a little bit too convenient that right at the end of the warranty the phone stops working. Does anyone know how I can go about fixing this without having to buy a brand new phone? Any help would be appreciated. I love my iPhone, but I am a little disenchanted with it presently. Please help me. Thank you.

    I'm having a similar problem, started yesterday with my 2G iphone
    The touch screen doesn't work in a very specific line horizontally across the screen that only comes into play in certain screens:
    -Calculator, the C, +/-, div, X buttons no longer respond.
    -In contacts, any contact or phone number that happens to fall in that exact place does not respond (very difficult for calling people)
    -In the app store I can't log in or cancel out because the 'ok' and 'cancel' buttons are in the dead zone.
    -When scrolling once my finger hits that spot it stops.
    -In notes I can't click on the third note down. (I'll never know what I wanted to remember on Fed 5th)
    ...on & on & on...
    It is only an issue when the click-able icon is in this 'exact' spot, a little up & a little down & I'm fine.
    on another note: Interesting how some one received a free replacement when music couldn't be purchased from itunes (above post), and someone else was told to buy a new phone when they couldn't power down... not fair.

  • EXTREMELY S-L-O-W text entry in some sections of a Pages 5.2 document

    Hello -
    I have recently bumped into a problem with Pages 5.2 (the most recent version) whereby at certain points in the document text entry becomes extraordinarily slow. In these sections, It takes 1/4 to 1/2 second per character for text to appear. I can type an entire paragraph and watch it appear on screen in slow motion, which obviously makes it close to impossible to work in these sections.
    The odd thing about this behavior is that it does not occur at all points in the document. It is not, repeat not, document-wide. Furthermore, I believe it to be related to cut-and-paste issues from either Safari or Preview, but there are some sections where I have cut and pasted that do exhibit this behavior.
    This document exhibits the same issues whether I open it on my Mac Mini or on my MBA via Pages using iCloud. Pages for iCloud (beta) does not exhibt these issues, but it is too limited for me to use as my main document creation tool. The document also exhibits the same issues when saved locally and opened via the hard drive of either machine.
    I have done the following, to no avail:
    Deleted the style of text applied to the slow sections and applied "default" formatting;
    Turned off "check spelling while typing" and "check spelling automatically;"
    Turned on invisible characters to see if any code was inserted into these sections;
    Deleted ALL formatting in the document, turning it into one giant stream-of-consciousness text;
    Cut and paste text into a new Pages document;
    Exported to Word 2011 and re-importing.
    Only (6) allowed me to type normally when in Word. But when I re-opened the document in Pages, the molasses-slow sections were still there.
    I'd be happy to hear any suggestions the community has. This is a draft article I am working on and it's tough to focus on my ideas when I'm dogged by these formatting issues.
    Thanks!

    An interesting note from "iWork"
    Hello there,

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6305248?tstart=0
    We would like to know if you would be able to provide the following:
    - OSX and Pages versions
    - is iCloud file sync On for Pages
    - copy of a document that shows the slow issue with Pages
    - detals about workflow before the slow issue happened with Pages
    - is the file stored on the local hard drive or on a network serfer
    - are any apps, downlaods or backups in progress when Pages is open
    Thank you,

    I'd be more inclined to trust this if there weren't spelling and grammar errors in the reply. I'm surprised they didn't ask for a credit card and/or SSN!
    Needless to say, I will not be responding.

  • Sloooowwwww text entry in InDesign CS5

    I've got a truly bizarre behavior that is driving me crazy!  About midway through a document, text editing becomes painfully slow.  I can type a sentence and it takes several seconds for the cursor to catch up.  This happens whether I edit in place, or type in Story Editor.
    Here is where it gets very bizarre.  In any text BEFORE this point in the document, text entry and editing is fast, clean, and efficient.  The point in the document where the change from fast to slow takes place stays the same, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER I DELETE SOME TEXT.  In other words, I've found the precise paragraph where the slow typing starts.  If I delete that paragraph, then the NEXT paragraph shifts up and becomes the start of slow editing.  Paragraphs before and after this point are all styled with the same body paragraph style, so it has nothing to do with the style itself.  In fact ANY style below the "magical point" in the document has very slow typing.  Any style or paragraph above this point types and edits fine.  It almost seems like this magical point happens after a certain number of characters in the document.  If I delete text above this point, the magical point shifts further down the document text.
    Thinking I had a corrupted file, I exported the entire file as IDML (InDesign Markup) and reimported it.  I get THE SAME BEHAVIOR IN EXACTLY THE SAME SPOT.  The file is about 11 pages long and consists of one story that runs through threaded text frames.  There are about 5 images that have been anchored to text.  (But not near the "magical point" where text editing becomes as slow as molasses.)
    I've tried making new documents, changing styles, loading different master pages, deleting the images, deleting the master page, etc. and nothing affects this issue.  And yet I can create a new document, fill it with a hundred pages of placeholder text and I don't get this behavior anywhere in the document.
    Has anyone else experienced something similar??  It's MADDENING!!

    This is definitely an issue in the Windows environment that has absolutely no impact in a Mac environment. I was just introduced to it, and I'm really scratching my head.  I do most of my layout on a really nice Intel Mac using ID CS5, and I'm currently working on a huge project with multiple team members working on a variety of computers. I was unaware until yesterday that one of the team members who is working on a Windows 7 laptop was having problems making text edits in documents that work just fine on my Mac. There was a severe lag when typing. She could go get a coffee while waiting for one simple typed sentence to appear on the screen. We opened up system resources and everything is maxing out while text is being typed, CPU, memory, network. It's a real stumper. This is not a simple machine, it was purchased to be a graphic design computer and has really good specs, but just to make sure it wasn't the computer, I tried it on two other PCs. One is my laptop that I freelance on and the other is a fellow designer's machine that has absolutely amazing specs (actually better than my Mac), both running Windows 7.  On all three computers I have the same typing lag, though I can reduce the lag some by turning off everything that saps ID performance (auto preflight, screen redraw, dynamic spelling, balance columns, etc.).  The files are on a server, so I even tried copying them to the local harddrive and severing link and InCopy connections. I've tried turning off balance columns and still the lag.  The lag is most prominent in a fairly complex table and I've noticed it is worse when editing text that is on a 10 percent black background. 
    I can provide a file to play with if anyone wants to see the behavior. I can reproduce it on any computer with a Windows environment (both CS5 and CS5.5).  I would appreciate a fix either in the way my documents are created or for the app because I'm doing hundreds of these documents for the next couple years and this lag is a severe problem in our workflow.

  • Text entry box instead of typing

    In order to capture the screens I need, I have to enter text by typing it into a form. But I don't want the text I'm typing to appear in the final project. Instead, I want remove the typed text and replace it with a text entry box so that the learner can type in their own text.
    Is it possible to convert typed text into a text entry box?
    Is there a preference setting that would prevent the typed text from showing or convert it to a text entry box?
    I hope someone can help with a suggestion.

    You can add the text entry box (TEB) on top of the required field, assign a variable to this TEB and in later slides, insert a smartshape and call this variable wherever required.
    However I see some challenges in this, depending on your specific requirement.
    1.  If this variable is called 50 slides later, you should add a smartshape and call this variable 50 times. A bit tedious task.
    2.  Depending on the UI color changes, you should also change the smartshape color as many times in as many slides if you want to match the colors. Same with smartshape positions. Again, a tedious task.
    3.  What if this value is partially shown on a slide? A good lot of graphic editing work there. Use case: The user is creating a child node for some tree structure and you want to use this feature to let the user enter any node name he wants. Later in some other screen, this node (as part of the tree) appears on the right pane and the pane is partially hidden, then you will have to hide this new text also partially.
    There may be few more challenges you might want to consider before deciding this.
