Larger Keyboard

[FuzzMunky]

Basically, I am looking for a QWERTY soft keyboard with larger keys than the built in one in Portrait mode.

I apologise if there really is a well known solution to my aggravation. It must have trekked over the horizon, cos I spent atleast 6 hours last night trying to find it.

So, I find the most convenient way to type is with thumb or fingers, and I can do this on the built-in keyboard, with a moderate accuracy. It's still more convenient than getting out the stylus.

I have demod perhaps 15 different SIP Keyboards now and NONE of them have a larger keyboard in Portrait mode than the built-in keyboard.... WHY? They either have large keys and a stupid gimmick or small keys and a standard QWERTY. Could the calligrapher keyboard be any smaller?

Here is my ideal SIP Keyboard: a qwerty keyboard with just the letters (and . , ?) on screen, but taking upto half of the screen. The numbers can be hidden under a shift or alt key.

Does this exist? All the large key keyboards I have found take up the whole screen, which I find very irritating in itself.

We've all the seen the iphone and its keyboard right? Is there not a single program with good size keys for ppc? I found one that is ABCD etc. not qwerty and the guy wanted to charge over 100 dollars on handango.

Please Please Please. Help me and suggest a solution. Thank you.

PS. I have found ideal software for the Palm OS, is there a version for PPC? Look here:

I just found a good one for all those interested.

Its called Happy Tapping Keyboard. It resides on some obscure korean site i think. Do a google search and use the translate option. It works enough to understand.

So far it is hands down the best keyboard available. Its larger than the built in one and even larger in landscape, but most importantly it only takes up a little bit of the screen, so you can still see stuff.

I highly recommend. And it is free and skinnable. You can also add a WAV sound to the tap, an audio aide so you know when you have hit it. That is if you dont want to enable all screen tap sounds in WM5.

Thanks for this HTK program,

this is the link for download :
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/KOTETU/00000103

once it is downloaded, you need to move the cab file directly to your device (don't run it from your computer).

and this is the one for some skins :

put them in the picture folder or a folder that you will easily find on your device.
choose the right VGA/QVGA mode

to change the skin :
go to setting then choose the keyboard icon and find the skin you put in your folder.

et voila !

rq : would be nice if the button could be bigger !
and it is obsure japanese not korean,

cheers
