Default TenGO keyboard - man, these girls can type fast!

I tried installing TenGO Thumb v.1.04 on my HD, but never got it to work. The phone froze on both tries and needed to be soft reset both times.

However, I wanted to share these two youtube videos. These two girls type 75 words per minute using TenGO and a stylus. It's pretty amusing to watch them. Man, I can't even tap the stylus on my desk that fast when I'm nervous.

This freezing in on a cooked ROM right? I had the same problem installing on one of the cooked ROMs, but resolved it after registration was done. I had to use Start/setting/personal/input control panel to register first. In the stock ROM, I could use it without having to register first.

PM me if you need help.

As for the speed of typing, I had been saying that for ages but nobody seems to take note of it. My speed of typing is not quite as quick as those girl's but it is faster than any other software keyboard I have tried ( and I have tried just about every major ones in the market)

Nope - not a cooked ROM. It's a stock ROM. Any ideas?

Check their website (see link on first post). You can read the list of features that each program has and compare the differences. TenGO Thumb doesn't have as long of a list of features and it costs half the price of TenGO for PPC. So, I assume there are some substantial differences. I would imagine the the Thumb version would be enough, though.

Does TenGo support foreign languages? I mean, other dictionaries?

According to their website (see link on first post) they have dictionaries for the following languages:
English
German
French
Spanish
Swedish
Danish

What I don't know is if you can add a dictionary to have more than one available. I would imagine you can, but I don't know for sure.

The problem is: During installation and after first start of this keyboard there is a message behind TF3D, which you will not see. keyboard will not continue until you will press OK.

Close TF3D, install keyboard, start keyboard, start TF3D, and you will not have any problems anymore.

Its running well on my HD, original geman ROM
