Word Completion?

This is my first Blackberry, the Tour. I have it with Verizon. I used to have a Treo. The one thing I miss is the word completion... Do the Blackberries have "word completion" or anythign like this? I hate typing out the entire word. Thanks for the advice!

I used to have it on my old phone and I totally miss it. I'm a novice, but I researched it and looks like it doesn't not exist for BB. People seem to work around it by incorporating it inot their spell check (ie whenever you [purposely] type 'srp' it'll fix it by putting surprise). That's annoying. Hopefully someone proves me wrong cuz I too hate typing out the whole word.

Word completion in Asha 311

Maybe I am missing something, but I can't figure out how to use word completion. It can be turned on or off from settings > text editors > word completion
With "prediction" on and "word completion" off, inserting words saves typing: the predicted word is displayed in a blue bubble, tap the intended word and it is inserted into the text.
When "prediction" and "word completion" are both on, the word is also completed inline. But I can not select the word that was completed inline. What is the purpose of "word completion"?
Thank you.
Solved!

When using Word Completion, you need to tap on the screen in the writing area and slide it a bit to left or right. The auto-completed word will be selected and published.
However, i don't like the completion. I keep it always turned off.

Word completion problem

Hi folks.
Not after code, as I am hoping to write this myself. I am after suggestions from anyone that has been there before or has a bit more experience with this problem and ideas for me.
Many of you guys are probably using an IDE with code completion. I'm not trying to write a code completor just yet, but a simple word completor.
My current plan is to use an embedded java database (derbyDB) in the application (lets just say a JTextArea in a frame). The database has heaps of words in it. As the person types, it sits there in the background with a thread that listens to the stuff being typed and queries for similar words (SQL) in the database and adds it to the text area in a highlight.
I'm pretty fine with all the text area stuff, but does the above plan sound fine for what I am trying to do?
Is there any problems people see with the above design? My biggest concern was using the key listener to figure out what they typed into the box... I am worried that if you have a fast typer, it will freeze the characters from coming on screen while the database is looking them up...
I have looked all over google and through these forums, but cannot find anything (hell- im not even sure if word completion is the correct term for what I'm trying to do...). I just know that many programs do it, and wanted to know how.
Interested to hear any suggestions about this problem.
Jason.

Aha... Queues... That would be a better approach. Thanks. I had no idea about using these!
i noticed you also made reference to a database. So I'm guessing the database is the way to go.
I wasn't particularly worried about the grammar side of things, but now that you mentioned it, it does seem like a big problem, ie which word to complete in which situation in a sentence. It almost sounds like a compiler but for english!!! lol Perhaps I should limit the completor to technical words (anatomical words is what I am mainly interested in),
ie user types "stern"
possible completions are sternum, sternomastoid, sternocleidomastoid
when user types ctrl-space (as you say) these words appear in a drop down box.
Thank you for your suggestion about queues. I will learn about these now.
Jason.

Any facility in Cocoa for word completion?

I'm looking for some interface to the Mac OS dictionary, with the goal of being able to get a list of words which match a basic expression. For example: asking for words that are 5 characters long that match the form sh_.
Feature useful for suggesting words to complete a crossword puzzle.
I've found NSSpellChecker, but couldn't find what I was after there – just suggesting similar spelt words.
There is the feature in various applications for doing word completion, and am wondering if this is the area I should be looking?
Thanks,

It sounds like the NSSpellChecker "completionsForPartialWordRange:inString:language:inSpellDocumentWithTag:" method might help.
I'm not sure if it will handle missing characters at the beginning of a word.
Using regular expressions might help. You will need a dictionary of words to search from. You can use the dictionary's spell check dictionary for that. You will also need a tool that can do regular expressions. Unfortunately, there isn't good support in Cocoa for regular expressions. Perl and some command line tools like sed and awk are much better at that.

Word Completion Stopped Working

Hi,
My word completion stopped working on my Macintosh. I tried shift-space, but nothing happens. Anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks!

I had to create a new workspace and project, then copy all my code into the new application. I was able to import my skins, scripts and assets into the new workspace. I should have remembered this because it happened before. I was able to search Google for some hints on how to solve this issue.

Word completion in Apple Pages

Hello,
I am a new Mac owner. I have been using the free word processor OpenOffice a lot recently, and one of the features it has is word completion (if you use a word that is more than nine letters long, it will offer to complete it for you if you press Return or, alternately, Tab). I read somewhere that this feature is available on Pages; does anyone know how to activate it?

The only thing I know of is the Automatically use the spell checker suggestion. It is found in the Pages preferences > Auto correction

Word completion in Mail?

Is there a way to turn on word completion in Mail, like it works in TextEdit?
In TextEdit, when I hit escape I get a list of words that appear earlier in the text to choose from.
Very helpful for lengthy words (especially in German ;-) ).
But it does not work in Mail's compose window :-(
Any ideas or hints?
TIA,
Gabriel.

Sorry, I probably wasn't clear.
What I want is this:
I type "chauf" then hit the escape

About word prediction (word completion).

Hi there,
I wonder that if the word completion can be done in Oracle Form.
Say there is a Text filed, when user does several enter queries, when he/she
types in something, Word prediction/word completion will prompt the query history words.
Is this possible in ORACLE Form 11g?
Regards,
Phil

Hello,
Just a word to say that this Java Bean does not do the exact job you need, in a way that it does not manage any "historical" data you entered in the past, reason why I did not point it to you.

Onscreen keyboard - word completion

maybe i am missing something, but I can't figure out how to use word completion using the onscreen keyboard. the word appears but I don't know how to select it...... maybe I am dumb? i have tried everything. searched the manual and the discussion threads with no luck.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Can't expplain the difference because I have always only used it with both on and it works well for me. I start typing a word and as soon as I see the correct completed word appearing, I tap on it to complete. You should also consider using Swype on the N9. It is very good.

Ipod touch - auto correction / word completion when typing ...

(ipod touch 16GB; Firmware 2.0)
I would like to switch off the auto completion / auto correction, because its moth bothersome when i'm typing notes or writing emails. Is there anyway to switch this off?

When an autocorrection pops up and you want to use it, just type a space, punctuation mark, or return character.
From page 28 of http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_3.1_UserGuide.pdf
Accept or reject dictionary suggestions:
To reject the suggested word, finish typing the word as you want it, then tap the “x” to dismiss the suggestion before typing anything else. Each time you reject a suggestion for the same word, iPod touch becomes more likely to accept your word.
To use the suggested word, type a space, punctuation mark, or return character.

Do others have issues with Pages' autocorrection/word completion?

Does anyone else out there have an issue with OS X Pages (5.1) trying to autocorrect or autocomplete words that lead to errors? For example I could be typing the word 'specific', but by the time I get to the 'specifi...' it corrects it thinking that I want to type 'specify'. As I continue to complete the word it leaves me with 'specifyc' that it flags up as a spelling mistake. Other times it tries to complete a work while I am still adding to it. Wishing to type 'shark' I type the 'shar...' but Pages then assumes that I wish to type the word 'share' and sticks the 'e' on the end even though I have not pressed the space bar. I therefore end up with 'sharek' that it once more annoyingly flags up as a spelling mistake for me to look at when I typed s-h-a-r-k and it messed it up for me!
I'm not a super fast typist - mid-forties per minute with a healthy smattering of mistakes on a good day. I've tried repeatedly typing some of its 'corrections' at different speeds and there seems to be a threshhold. Below a certain rate it lets me finish 'shark' properly above a certain speed it will 'sharek' me every time. It may be connected to the erratic way in which I burst-type some letter strings - I found the above error more apparent when I did the 'shar' fast then paused infintesimally before the 'k'.
I like the way that it is very good at correcting my genuine mistakes but the number of false positives is starting to annoy me. I know that I can turn it off, but is there anyway of adjusting the rate at which it decides to kick in and change a word? That way I can get it to chill a while and let me finish my words, yet help me for when my fingers do mess up...

Es,
You could open Pages in the Guest account and it would display everything as when first used, since the guest account has no memory.
There are Apple Tutorials here.

Input from word completion

Hello,
I would like to ask how to do an auto completion in a input field such as on ebay for example so that when the user types, a quick input proposal is made to him. Which technology is used for this purpose ?
Thanks,
Tex

Auto completion can be performed using ajax. Here on each keyup on input field, data is collected from the server using ajax and displayed.
