Hi,
You probably know about the Microsoft's Math Input Panel of windows (if you don't, type it in the search on start and get amazed).
So, as a student, which I use my laptop at study alot, I use the math input panel for easy equations and math letters by handwriting and it really makes life easier instead of typing it manually in word.
So now I also got an Android device (HTC Desire HD), and I thought why wouldn't I use the fantastic touch screen of it as a pad, and instead of "Handwriting" with the mouse on the laptop, I will use a real handwriting on the mobile (with stylus or finger) and it would send it or transfer it to the PC, it could be live, like when I writing something on my mobile, it will be appeared on the laptop display immediately,
or it can be like, writing the whole equation or something, then press Send, and it will send it all to the Math Input Panel.
If the "working with an exist software [the Microsoft's Math Panel]" is too difficult to make so I wouldn't mind that the whole "Math Handwriting recognizing" will be on the mobile as a app..
So, here is my idea,
If any developer would read it and start it up, it would be great, let me know
Or if this is already exist in a sort of a way, also tell me, although I looked pretty hard for such a thing, and found nothing relevant.
Thanks for any kind of help,
Yarden,

Hey guys,
As we all know with using a mobile phone, SMS has played an integral part of out daily lives. The problem with the XDA is that unlike a mobile phone, there is no way for us to input SMS messages like a regular sony ericsson or nokia (which i swtiched from). I have been actively rummaging for some sort of software that would be able to enable such a feature. I don't need the T9 or predictive text. I just need the regular 12 big buttons, with their corresponding letters. (ie. 2 (pressed once) = a, 2 (pressed twice) = b, etc.). Is there any software out there that could do this? Preferably so I could just text using 1 hand?
If not, does anyone have any suggestions on what the best SMS input software might be? I've looked at TenGo, Full Screen Keyboard and Jetkey, as well as 1HandSMS (which apparently no one has, taken off the pocketbeam website due to infringement?) so far. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
I thinking about to write an SMS like input panel.
But wheel I no time, I am only thinking about it..
1HandSMS
Can somebody please upload 1HandSMS?? wanna try it.
There's a software DesignLab - SMS Writer. You can write only SMS with it.
But take a look to my project:

I don't understand. The biggest advantage of the XDA over a phone is the ability to use handwriting instead of being limited to 10 buttons, and you want to go back to the old way...??

Sometimes the SMS-like writing is better, for example if you take a phone converstation (With line-phone) and like to quickly search a contact with half hand. Or when you travel with a public transport and the bus shake you, you can't use lettter recognizer...
Any other case, the handwriting is good. But IMHO SMS-like writing neither slow.
Other thing, in my surround, who has a PDA everybody use soft-keyboard in stead of the letter recognizer. Don't know why...
I was thinking today about how much more convenient note taking would be if one of the numerous (and effective) handwriting recognition programs were updated to support recognition from the camera. While recognition straight from the screen is good for your own writing, it doesn't help at all for turning other peoples (such as lecturers) writing into text. Does any program support this yet? Thanks in advance.
I don't know of one. The screen handwriting recognition works because it can detect when you start and stop a line, not just the picture of the letter. There is a program that can read p r i n t e d text rather than cursive but I haven't had success with it.
I would think this programme is a long way off - I mean think of the different styles it would have to be able to process!
Well i've seen something similar for desktops a few years back, but that only accepted times or arial from a scanner (less grain than camera), and even then that didn't work to well. I find with on screen transcriber or similar that it doesn't accept my writing correctly, as I write "6" and "9" the wrong way, and it makes it into an "o" or a "0"... Well I guess I'll have to just wait until my teacher starts projecting a computer onto the screen and can send to the whole class via bluetooth...
Hi I succeed to finish my code of simple viewer PC screen. Work with WP7
See the video

Now I will go to try how control the mouse?
About my app I use socket to connect to the server, no RDP protool and its word good. I try it on different machines and networks (@IP) and work perfect.
My app is a last year project so any idea about how to control the cursor.
This probably should have been in the same thread, but anyhow...
It depends on how your protocol is designed. Currently, all the data is pushed from the PC to the phone. To control the cursor, your phone needs to push data to the PC, which means that the PC server app needs to check for data from the phone app.
Sensing a touch on the phone is easy. Sending those coordinates over the network is pretty easy as well; you figured out sending video so I assume you can handle this part. On the PC, you'll want to receive those coordinates and then multiply them back out to their equivalent positions at the PC's resolution. Then you need to move the mouse cursor. There are Windows APIs for doing this, but I've never messed with them. They might be exposed to .NET, but I'm guessing that you'll need to make a call into native code (this is pretty easy, though; look up P/Invoke). Clicking can be implemented by having the phone detect that you tapped the same spot where the cursor already is, and having it send a different message to the server.
The messages will need to be determined by you, as the designer of the protocol. I do recommend using different messages for "move the cursor to here" and "click where the cursor is now." As for when to send the message, that also depends on how you implemented the app. If the entire transmission of the screen frame is one long socket send/receive, you'll have to exchange cursor commands between frames. If you do multiple smaller chunks, you can check for a cursom command and update the position or click as appropriate. Another alternative is to create two socket connections, and have the second one be used for cusor commands. I don't recommend this, though - it's not needed, it takes more code, and although I feel that everybody *should* learn multi-threaded netcode development, I'm not sure it what you want to work on now.
I am really confused
But I will try to get the coordinate of cursor from PC and move it on WP7 screen at first, if I succeed I will develop code tap (click), double tap and drag.
I am really confused
No one can help!!!!!!!!!!!!
Google should be your best helper - try to work with google first.
On WP7 app side you need to grab tap position, translate it to desktop coordinates and send data to the server. On the server side you may use Win32 API function SendInput() http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646310(v=vs.85).aspx
SendInput can emulate mouse and keyboard events.
P.S. As for youtube video: try your project on the real device, using WiFi or 3G, and you will understand what RDP protocol was built for
Yes I use Google for that,its the best search engine
I understand that use the coordinates to locate the position, and send it from WP7 to PC.
But my question is how any sample code can hep?
After discovering a lot of great features on my rooted E900, a new question made me using search function, but with not much help! So: is there any tweak in registry to change keyboard from full querty to keypad (like the physical keyboard from old phones, 1 to 9 with * and # and pressing three times on two for ex to write C letter) when you write a text message or text a web adress? I find this more handy when I'm driving, because with all that small letters from full querty is more dificult. Thanks in advance, and hope there is a solution, because when you write a number in the sms recipient, that keyboard appears.
I'm trying to think of a polite way to say this, and the best I've come up with is that, while I don't care terribly much about *your* car, I'm sufficiently concerned about the random people around you that the thought of making it easier to use your phone while driving is not even slightly appealing (for the record, it's illegal here, and for good reason).
For the record, I'm not so irresponsible so that I'm texting sms and driving, especially since I have a small baby in the backseat. When I PULL OVER and try to text something, the sunlight makes it harder to see the small buttons and I always hit the wrong button. I have pretty big fingers and that's why I want to use such a keypad.
And no offence, but I will never come to Seatle, only if I will win lottery and want to meet you personally, so don't be concerned.
The question still stays. Thank you
Please... Can someone help me with keypad?
Hello there,
I've bought my note 10.1 mainly to take notes in college and work, but I found that the way (style) I write is not too compatible with the recognition of the handwriting mode from samsung keyboard, leading to a lot of incorrect words.
So my question is if it is possible to retrain it so it can understand my handwriting better.
If it is not, there is some other app (or keyboard) that do it and can be trained?
Thanks!
It learns the more you use it. Start by going through the alphabet letter by letter then switch to numbers etc. Then do words. After a while it will just get it. You may have to persevere on some words, but even scrawl can be deciphered.

Are you sure about it? I've tried make it understand my D letter and it simply can't, it will always think it is a 'o' or a '0', never a 'd'.
As far as I know, you can't learn the recognition to read your handwriting. It can't learn it like Windows Mobile (PPC 2003) for example could.
Yes l am sure. The handwriting recognition works in the same way that predictive text works. The more you use it the more accurate it becomes. What I forgot to mention before was you need to be online as it is " Real Time ".
l have been using the handwriting on the note for a good few months now. When l first started it was hit and miss. Now, it gets my scrawl more often than not!
Use Snote and just keep writing. You will notice that it starts to pick it up.
I found it pretty good out of the box... I can be a pretty lazy writer especially when it reads my haphazard scrawl so well...
