Incredible! Transcriber mode

[whk]

I have had my TILT phone for two months now and purchased one for my daughter on Friday. She texted me that she loves the phone - particularly now that she has dicovered TRANSCRIBER mode.

Now you all may be aware of this but since it was such an eye opener for me I thought that I would share this publicly. If it opens me up to ridicule then so be it...

When you are in a text message or email message and you have the little keyboard at the bottom of your screen click on it until you get an UP ARROW. Then click on that. Choose TRANSCRIBER mode.

Now you can write on your screen with your stylus and it TRANSFORMS what you WRITE into text.

It works on the internet explorer as well. You can now WRITE that you want to go to WWW.PANASONIC.COM (or any URL) and it TYPES IT IN FOR YOU!.

Sorry to shout - but I never use the actual keyboard on my TILT - too obnoxious. I always use the stylus and "type in" my message. The transcriber mode find was really cool for me.

Hope it helps you as much as it helped me.

Oops. Probably shouldn't have bought a phone with a keyboard then.

It also depends on how "nicely" you write ;)
Since I'm much faster with a keyboard than with a pen & paper...
I'm still loving the pocketcm keyboard & kaiser hardware keyboard.

(transcriber has been there for ... ages ;))

Yeah, same here. I have terrible penmenship. I can type like a fiend though... When I use the transcriber, it can't figure out that I'm writing a T or a t and it guesses some other character and it's always wrong.

But, I'm left handed. Maybe that has something to do with it.

if you like transcriber mode, you would love calligrapher. It works nearly flawlessly with people who have terrible penmanship. You can write anywhere (I dunno if this is possible with transcriber or not...). anyway, it has a trial mode. http://www.phatware.com/index.php?q=product/details/calligrapher

Oops. Probably shouldn't have bought a phone with a keyboard then.I often use the onscreen keyboard on my TyTN II rather than the hardware keyboard but I still wouldn't buy a Pocket PC without the keyboard. Try watching recorded TV/Videos on the train with the device sitting on your table and you'll see what I mean. The ability to angle the screen is very handy.

I was pretty psyched when I found the transcriber input choice, as well. I don't know how often I'll use it, but it's nice to have. Ideally, I'd opt for thought input, though... :D

Don't forget that you can also use the Transcriber mode to enter text macros, shortcuts to apps and datestamps.

I tried using Transcriber in the Notes section of my contacts, but it doesn't pick anything up. Is it supposed to work in that application?

[whk]

OK - You are not crazy ;)
Well - maybe you are but you are certainly right. Notes on contacts just "beeps" at you and does NOT convert it to text. hmmmmm. . .
No idea why but it works in other places - like sending text messages and writing emails.
Sorry bout that.

Just hit the edit button on the bottom left on the note page and the transcriber will work like normal.

OK Gonzo - you are right - duh!
Thanks
