TouchPal Version 3 Released ! !
 

Here's the link : http://www.cootek.com/intro.aspx


If you are a V2 user, you will find a lot of new features in V3. There are, however, two types of improvements: new platform (more invisible) and new features (more visible).

The New Platform

Each time we released a new version, we made some aggressive optimization in the platform and architecture. This time there's also some big improvements.

* The keyboard is now designed to support a variety of layouts. In addition to the two-key layout, we added the single-key layout and 9-key layout.
* The "Flow" engine can detect your gesture and move up the keyboard.
* SDK tools for building language packs are now available. We will open it to limitted partners who could help us develop more language packs.
* Images are seperated from the DLL and thus make the DLL file much smaller. This would help resolve the loading issue on some resource limitted models.

The New Features

* "Flow" your keyboard - You can switch layouts or turn pages by sliding left or right on the keyboard.
* Skins are supported - You can download different skins or design your own skins.
* Press & hold - For those who don't like sliding, now you can hold a key to expand all the possible characters.
* Change priority of a word in dictionary, or delete a custom word.
* Key press sound effect.
* Prediction based on context - The prediction engine can now guess the word based on what you have typed. For example, if you typed "let" and then type for "us", the word "us" will appear prior to "is".
* Next word prediction - If you typed "look", the word "forward to" will be shown in the candidate list.

Of course, this release fixed a bunch of bugs including the uninstall issue in the previous version.

im testing it out its pretty coo but you need to be able to change the colors but everything else is pretty awesome. it also makes noisewhen you push a button anybody know how to stop that

Re: TouchPal Version 3 Released ! !
 

the color is HORRIBLE. The guys over at the cootek forums are trying to get the admin to release the default skin for this. If they dont release it, ill be going back to V2

Re: TouchPal Version 3 Released ! !
 

who cares about the color? it's the functionality of the update that counts. i'll try this in a bit.

Re: TouchPal Version 3 Released ! !
 

try it and youll see what i mean. and ALOT of people care about color, i dont want nothin that makes my UI look shiiddy

Re: TouchPal Version 3 Released ! !
 

i'll try it right now, and i'll report back to see if the color messes up the UI. plus if you don't like the color, you can always make your own skin. that's what it says. it ain't no biggie.

when you click on the settings tab, slide that window a couple times and you will see the option checked to enable sound. just have to uncheck that box and you're good to go.
