[Q] Handwriting - General Questions and Answers

I have been thinking of replacing my laptop for a tablet on the road, the thing holding me back is a keyboard. I really don't want to get a Keyboard dock. It kinda defeats the purpose and portability of the tablet. So my question is...is their a app for handwriting recognition that actually works, and have any of you had any experience with them.

try swipe or slide it keyboard

Who has disabled screen rotation?

This tablet lends itself so well to landscape mode that I have chosen to disabled auto-rotation. It gets annoying when I'm laying in bed making sweet love to my Xoom and the screen flips 90* on me.
I actually disable it on all my devices. That being this said, this is the first one i disabled into landscape mode.
Same here.
I have disabled it also. It is annoying when laying in bed and I turn to my side the screen will automatically rotates. Any games like Air Attack HD that are designed for the tablet to be vertical; it will automatically rotate the screen anyways. The only reason I could think of the use for vertical layout is for typing with your thumbs only.
I would strongly recommend buying Thumb Keyboard from the market. It is only 1.32 Euros and $1.87 US. It is so nice to type with my thumbs while holding the tablet landscape. I can type so fast when surfing the internet. It cuts the keyboard in half and moves the keys to the sides and has a 10 key number pad in the middle. Select 10 inch tablet mode in settings. Try it out. You have 15 minutes to test drive it and if you don't like it, uninstall it and get a full refund.
I leave it enabled on all my devices.
If you got it use it, that's how I see it.

I bought thumb keyboard but then I bought SlideIT (I have Swype on my droid).
I use an app call "Tablet Keyboard" same price range. They also have a free version, which is only a few keys that is removed from the paid version. Similar to the thumb keyboard. And boy is it a joy typing and not having ti be all over the place. I still use the full keyboard style when typing longer like an email or word document on my Xoom.

I tried the Tablet Keyboard and did not see an option for suggested words while typing where Thumb Keyboard does. Is this a feature I am missing or maybe in a paid version? I am pretty happy with Thumb Keyboard but always looking for something better.

[Q] Automatic Keyboard Selection?

Is is possible to configure the TF101 automatically change the keyboard upon connecting/disconnecting the dock?
I want to use the physical keyboard when the tablet is docked. When it isn't docked, I want to use Swype, because the Asus onscreen keyboard just isn't anywhere near as good as Swype.
Another problem I have is, for some strange reason, when using the Asus onscreen keyboard, long pressing the text box doesn't bring up the switch keyboard option. I experienced this today using Evernote, and have seen it in other programs.
Is there a shortcut on the Asus onscreen keyboard to change keyboards (not to another Asus keyboard, but to another installed keyboard)?
If not, is there an widget I can put on the desktop that will toggle between two different keyboards?
I'm afraid that automatic switching of keyboard is not possible. As far as I know the permission which is necessary to change keyboard from other process is not possible to get without platform manufacturer signature (Asus in case of stock Transformer)
For the keyboard switch yo can use a small keybard icon in the notification area.
There is an app to switch keyboards based on orientation. I remember it coming from someone on the N1 subforums. Try looking for it and contacting the dev and see if he's willing to adapt it for the TF.
It does require root though.

Mouse and Keyboard on Your Phone

Obviously tons of people use mouse and keyboard on their Android Tablets. It is much more comfortable typing and navigating using mouse and keyboard. That nice big screen makes it feel much like a computer.
I use them all the time on my phone. I sit at a desk for a good portion of my day. I can setup my phone on a stand, hook up my mouse and keyboard, and I have it at easy access without having to pick it up or really break away from my work position. I have my headset hooked up to it so if I get a call or anything, I'm right there to answer it.
Does anybody else out there use a mouse and keyboard on their phone? If not, have you considered it?

Best external keyboard?

Hi guys,
I have a GT-N5110 and I'd like to get an external keyboard for it..
Here is what I'm looking for:
- Nicely spaced keys (I definitely DON'T want one of those super small keyboard with soft keys)
- Minimum latency between keystrokes and what I see on the tablet's screen
- Preferably with a mousepad or a usb port that can handle a mouse
- Support to place the tablet horizontally
- I want to be able to use it anywhere so no keyboards that rely on 3G (if there is such a thing hehe)
I like the Sharkk Bluetooth keyboard. It is backlit, which I feel is a necessity (the choice of colors is a bit OTT however). Unfortunately it looks like Sharkk has gotten out of the keyboard business. https://www.amazon.com/SHARKK-Bluetooth-Ultra-Slim-Back-Light-Backlights/dp/B00E1HIVG8

TF300T + Wacom Tablet

Is there something I can load into my TF300T (I am currently on Marshmallow since I want to use the Keyboard dock) so that it recognizes my Wacom Tablet as a mouse? From what I've read there are issues with the pressure sensitivity, etc. However I just want to use it as a mouse, regardless of pressure sensitivity. With apps like Autodesk or ArtRage just so I can still practice on the go.
A bit low on funds so I'm trying my best to simply work with what I have. Is there a kernel that exists to support this?
Right now, when I plug this Wacom tablet in, it lights up but there is no cursor on screen (even when I deactivate the touchpad on the keyboard, since I thought maybe it was too much interference).
I am hoping it's as simple as something I have overlooked or can DIY. A lot of the other posts I've seen are concerning themselves with the pressure sensitivity and all I'm looking to do is really just do some line work on some of the apps as if it were the cursor from a regular mouse.
Any response is appreciated!
