Trying to learn about Predictive Text

My N8 User Guide (PDF) seems silent on how to use predictive text. Is it supposed to be so obvious that anyone can use it, and I'm an imbecile?
My biggest gripe is that once predictive text finds what it thinks is a better word than the one I was spelling, I cannot find a way to convince it that I'm right.
In the interim, I've turned predictive text off, but it would be hugely beneficial to me. I teach English, so my spelling is above average, but my typing is carp.

I have attached screenshots on how to deactivate predictive text. This taken using N8 running on Symbian Anna. Hope this helps

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. Help!

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone. Help!

The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

Trying to learn about threads

Hi guys,
I'm trying to learn more about threads......i've written a small program for a better understand, but i don't understand the order of the output i'm getting:
public class testme {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Theshape mover = new Theshape("go");
     mover.start();
System.out.println ("checkpoint 1");
System.out.println ("checkpoint 2");
     }//main
}//class testme
class Theshape extends Thread {
public int count;
public String thego;
Theshape (String gg){
     thego= gg;
count=0;
}//constructor
public void run(){
try {
do{
System.out.println (thego);
sleep(1000);
System.out.println ("johnny");
count=count+1;
}while(count<8);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {}
}//run
}//class theshape
........the output i get is:
checkpoint 1
checkpoint 2
go
johnny
go
johnny
go
johnny
go
johnny
go
johnny
go
johnny
go
johnny
go
johnny
I would like to know why "checkpoint 1" and "checkpoint 2" is printed first, even though the call to the run method is made before the two statements. i would have thought that the two checkpoint statements would be printed last.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Zaf

After you've issued the 'mover.start()' call, a new thread pops into existence. The first thread (your main thread) continues to run while the second thread prepares itself to start up. On your machine, this startup takes a (little) while, so your main thread is able to print those two line just before the other thread is able to print something. That's all there is to it. If you put a 'Thread.sleep(1234)' between those two println statements in your main thread, the output would probably be a bit different. Give it a try.
kind regards,
Jos

Trying to learn about PL/SQL

Have a problem I can not figure out in time. Anyone have any ideas?
Write a PL/SQL program to compute the number of days in each month for year 2020. Your program will first create a table named Month_Days with two columns (see the table structure below). Use a Loop in your program to insert month and the number of days in that month into the table. INSERT INTO command can only be used once in your program. Your program should work correctly for any year.
current version I am working on looks like this
Set Serveroutput on;
DROP TABLE MONTH_DAYS;
CREATE TABLE MONTH_DAYS(
Month_ Varchar(9),
Days_ Number (2));
Begin
FOR i IN 1..12 LOOP
INSERT INTO MONTH_DAYS (Month_, Days_)
Values(to_char(to_date('i-01-2020','MM')), to_char(to_date(last_day('01-i-2020'),'DD')));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Month_'||''|| 'Days_');
end loop;
end;

Compute Number of days in each month of Year 2020
DROP TABLE MONTH_DAYS;
CREATE TABLE MONTH_DAYS(cnt number(2), Month_ Varchar(9),Days_ Number(2));
declare
mons Varchar2(10);
dats Varchar2(10);
begin
for i in 0..11 loop
insert into month_days(cnt, month_, days_)
values
(i,to_char(add_months(to_date('20200101','YYYYDDMM'),i),'Month'),
to_char(last_day(add_months(to_date('20200101','YYYYDDMM'),i)),'DD'));
select month_ , days_ into mons, dats from month_days where cnt = i;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Month: '||Mons||'Days: '|| Dats);
end loop;
end;

I have just installed Lion Is there any way to get predictive text to "learn" spellings or switch it off as it "corrects" my e-mail address ?

Does anybody know how I can switch off Lion predictive text or get it to "learn" spellings as it keeps "correcting" my e-mail address ?

You can turn it off in the Language & Text portion of System Preferences under the Text tab. Remove the checkbox from "Correct spelling automatically".

Advice about OCR text in ID

This project is a total labor of love for my 90 year-old mother-in-law who wrote a weekly column for a small-town newspaper for years back in the 1980s.We are going to do a booklet compilation of her articles for the enjoyment of family and friends. (not to sell) We are looking into different printing options like the local Kinkos (digital printing and binding and another source for low volume hardback book printing.) No details yet.
I have basic ID skills but NO Acrobat experience which I own as part of my CS2 suite. It was suggested in this forum that Acrobat might be the way to go (project scope has changed since then) but I have spent several days trying to learn Acrobat. It's not coming easy for me so I've decided that ID is the program I am most comfortable with for this project. I've been experimenting with methods and doing a lot of research in the forums with threads that seemed applicable to my project.
I would greatly appreciate anyone who has the time to read through my proposed process and point out any errors that could turn out to be a problem with the end printing.
I haven't nailed down the overall design concept and presentation of the book because family members don't agree on things yet. (Ugh, that's a whole different challenge.) But I don't vision a master page layout deal because I really want to immitate the different layouts of the published articles, so I vision each page having its own personality.
So I just want to be productive in doing the grunt work of obtaining the articles and setting up individual pages in ID that might or not be used. Then I will put the final together according to the printer's instructions.
1. I obtain the articles from a paid subscription newspaper archive service and it gives me the option to save and view this PDF in Acrobat. The PDF is a "snapshot" of the newspaper page. Then I crop in Acrobat to just the article I want and print it out and save it.
2. Then I put the printed article on my scanner and push the text button on the front of the scanner. The articles are in different sizes and number of columns but they are all consistent newspaper style—single-spaced, justified columns with a 3 space indent at the beginning of the paragraph. (I know that Acrobat has an OCR feature but I couldn't figure it out.)
3. Then the article appears in Microsoft Word 2000 as an rtf document all in one long page with inconsistent spacing between lines. It does have the paragraph indents and shows the typos or misunderstood characters in green. I fix all the typos etc. in word and it's obvious that there is inherent formatting involved but I have no idea how that happens from a scan or it it could create problems.
4. Last I copy all the text in word and paste it on my ID document guessing at the width of the column I want. Then I click on the overset (from Peter's response on a thread about text flowing) and make the remaining columns. But I want each article to be printed on one page so I don't want to risk it carrying over and ID making another page.The text shows up in ID as Gil Sans instead of Times Roman from Word. No huge deal I just select and change. There are no paragraph indents but I just added 3 spaces. (I know the nudge thing is bad and I promised not to do it again) so I need to understand the formatting.
So any glaring errors in my proposed methods that could make me cry and have to start over?
Thanks in advance,
Patty

Hi Patty.
I am working on a similar project that involves original newspaper clippings (not preserved well so they are quite yellow) from 1863.
> ...I have spent several days trying to learn Acrobat. It's not coming easy for me so I've decided that ID is the program I am most comfortable with for this project.
I very new to using InDesign and InCopy. There are three inexpensive learning resources that I am using: Lynda.com, the online resources of my public library, and this forum. Lynda.com offers excellent multi-media instruction, but it is time consuming to complete the courses (some exceed nine hours). The public library has contracted with certain publishers so that as a member, I have access to the electronic version of those extremely expensive instructional books that go out of date the next time a new version of the software is released (thereby saving me $$$).

Welcome to the world of a Self Published Author. ;-)

That sounds like a good plan.

Okay, there might be some difficulties that crop up doing it that way. When a scanned image is cropped in Acrobat, the entire image remains intact and it is only the viewable area that is cropped--so no information is lost. That means if the article you want is in the center of a three column newspaper, all of the information surrounding that article will remain available.
It is possible to open the original image to Photoshop through Acrobat and permanently delete the extraneous information, but unfortunately I am not using CS2 so can not provide the command path to do so.
> 2. Then I put the printed article on my scanner and push the text button on the front of the scanner. The articles are in different sizes and number of columns but they are all consistent newspaper style—single-spaced, justified columns with a 3 space indent at the beginning of the paragraph. (I know that Acrobat has an OCR feature but I couldn't figure it out.)
If the OCR is not working right, then it may be because it is OCR'ing the entire page, not just the area that was cropped.
Since Acrobat can OCR image files, so I see a couple options. Open the original in Photoshop through Acrobat, crop out all of the unnecessary text, align the article text so that it is in a single column, save it, then just initiate the OCR in Acrobat on that existing page.
Another option is to paste screen prints from the article as it appears in Acrobat into Photoshop, align the text into a single column, save it and then run the Acrobat OCR on that file.

That's from Word, not the scan itself.
The only way I have been able to clean up the garbage-code Word creates has been to paste the text into Notepad, re-copy it, then Paste Special > Unformatted Text back into the same document (or sometimes a new doc). Then it's a manual process of cleaning up the text that is easier than working with the original scan.
For some reason, there have been times when I have used the Paste Special > Unformatted Text directly into Word and it has been almost as messy as the original, so I've opted to just paste to notepad, copy and repaste back into Word. Seems inefficient, but it works.
Best of luck with your project.

I no longer have "predictive" text messaging. Anyone else have this or no why that happened?

I no longer have "predictive" text messaging. I have an iPhone 5S, just updated to iOS 8 and iOS 8.2. I've tried turning messaging on and off, searched in General category without benefit. It simply stopped about a week ago, after going to iOS 8.

C3-01 lost predictive texting

I know the answer must be on here somewhere, but I'm blowed if can find it.
I always use the predictive text but suddenly it's started generating rubbish, and I can't get it back.
I tried switching off and on, removing and replacing battery, etc. Have debated re-installing factory settings but sounds a bit drastic after 15 months of use.
Any suggestions welcome.

During writing text check if the writing language is set as your language. If it is, then restoring the phone may be the only option.
You may want to update the phone to new firmware. The changes mentioned in the link below-
http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Cseries/C3-01-new-firmware-v7-51-released/m-p/1527160#M36199
Connect your phone to a computer & select Nokia Suite mode. If you do not have Nokia Suite on your pc you can download it from here. Now open the Nokia Suite & click on the “green icon of arrow pointing downwards”.
If any updates are available they will be shown in ‘green’. If not you may reinstall the current version. Reinstall option is shown in ‘blue’. If no option to reinstall is shown, please wait for sometime it will become visible. Then the Nokia Suite will download the new software version of the phone. After it you will be prompted to take a complete back up of the device content. Please do not skip this step as reinstallation will erase all the personal data from the phone like contacts, messages, calendar entries etc.
Please note that if you have set a memory card password & you have forgotten its code then take a backup of the card data also as the card will be locked after update and can only be unlocked if you enter the correct code or by ways mentioned in this thread.
Also note that while updating the device ensure the following things-
The device is full charged.
The internet connection Is of good speed & has a backup in case of power loss.
The PC should also be connected to back up power source as if the process is interrupted the phone may go dead. More on update failure & its remedies here.
Please do not run any resource intensive programs in the background while updating as it may freeze the PC which in turn will lead to a dead device.
Ignore all the windows pop-up notifications about device being disconnected.DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE UNTIL UPDATE IS COMPLETED.
It will be better if you disable security keyguard & PIN code request before proceeding with Update/Reinstallation.
Sometimes the device may show Test Mode. Do not panic & DO NOT remove the cable. Let the process complete.
Also check out this video on YouTube with instructions for update.
If problem persists, please visit the nearest authorised Nokia Care Centre.
Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.

E65 Predictive Text Error - You insists on being Y...

Well, my first post, E65 predictive texting does not recognise You or YOU or you ! it insists on Yot ! Any quick fix out there for this problem?
Thanks
skthecat

Yes.
T9 works a little different from earlier S60 implementations. It used to be that when you added a word with the 'Spell' function, that it went in as the last choice.
Now it goes in as the first choice. So if you add a word by mistake, OR if you add a word that starts with 'yot' then that's the first choice that comes up.
So it's important these days to think twice before adding a word.
Fortunately it also 'learns' which words are used more often. The quickest fix is to type the word 'you' several times in an SMS message or in a text note.
So you type 'you' (yot will appear), then press the asterrisk until 'you' appears. Put in a space and do it again. and again. And again; it varies how many times you have to do this, last time it happened to me I had to type & correct about 5-6 times or so I think.
There's other ways as well, such as removing the dictionary file with a third party file manager such as 'Y-Browser'. But then you lose all the other words you added as well. Google how that is done works.

6300 predicted text starts to forget saved words

Hi there
I've been using my 6300 for about a year now and I absolutely love this phone!
However, I believe it is starting to grow old and forget the older words I enter into the predicted text.
Is this a known issue?
I have tried searching the forums using advanced search with the terms.
"all of these words": predicted text 6300
"at least one of these words": spell
and "all forums"
what I have done while composing a message is:
1. with predicted text enabled, type in my surname 'nguyen'
2. it will show "mit?"
3. I select the "Spell" option and enter in "Nguyen"
4. Press save
5. Finish typing the message and send.
The word will remain available again, but I am sure that it has erased another word I have entered.
If there is a software limitation to the number of words I can save, then I am ok with that, as long as I know my phone is not faulty.

There is likely to be a limit to the number of words you can add (due to the memory size), but I don't know if it starts to overwrite old entries or just stops saving new words. If the former is the case, that would be the answer.

HT201363 Predictive Text

the "predictive text" worked great after upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPad Retina Display. Now, 2 days later, it's not there. Why?
Thanks
CIssy

I had an iPhone 4S upgraded to iOS 8.1 and my predictive typing was and still is fine! Then i bought an iPhone 5S and the predictive typing is not anymore the same. When i had the 4S i saw something about learning the way you're writing (other non-supported language/dictionary) , looking up your mail and social networks to memorize the words you need in your own language and it's actually still working on 4S , but not on the 5S. Is there any option to do on 5S to have the same predictive words i have on 4S. For example: The keyboard is English , but i am writing in Bulgarian. I am starting to write a word and predictive shows me the word correctly or in the way i had written it before or in jargon , still works the predictive for english words. It shows me only on the iPhone 4S , not on the 5S.
Please Help!...

6280 - Cant turn Predictive Text on

I can't work out how to turn on Predictive Text. Elsewhere on this forum people have written about selecting "options" when writing a text message but there are no options for Predictive text that I can see.
Firmware 3.60 on Vodaphone. 2nd phone due to first being faulty.
Any Ideas? Is there a hidden function somewhere? Like pressing and holding the left function key during text input turns the t9 dictionary on/off
Thanks

hi aubs,
i live in holland, and i got my 6280 from a store that specialises in their own deals with subscriptions with network providers. i don't know if such stores exist in the UK, but there are many here in holland. their offers are often much better than any of the network providers (e.g. vodafone, t-mobile,e tc.).
thanks for the suggestion. i'll get in touch with them and post my findings here. just too busy lately.

Where can i learn about Boot Camp

to all
i would like to learn about boot camp and the risks of puttiong windows on my mac. some things i just need on windows.
where can i read about it before i start to post dumb questions about virus software and the risk of virus, as i'm sure its been addressed somewhere..

thanks for the reply The Hatter... but its not a case of not leaving my comfort zone, but getting the full facts first for what i want to do. I;m quite good at leaving my comfort zone thank you..
currently trying to build a server at home with little experience
teaching myself HTML and Javascript and writing 5 websites on the fly
among many other things.. i just need to find out more about what i am doing before i do it so i understand what i am doing, and whether its the best use of my time.
my laptop most certainly doesn't sit on a shelf. its been around the world, to far flung corners of jungles, remote islands in Thailand and never leaves my side. Its on al day working and on all night processing. infact it almost drowned with me when i was caught in a violent storm going between islands in Thailand. Naturally i put the laptop somewhere safe before saving myself from going overboard.

Okay I will try. First I have lost pictures in catalogs and could not find again.I have tried reinstalling LR4 and when I do and reopen LR4 the same catalog appears in the panel and filmstrip and I have no idea how to get rid of that catalog and start over at square one like it was the frist time it was opened. That would be a big help and I think I start over and avoid the same problems.
