[Request] Text expanding tool - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I have searched for many apps or tweaks to do that but I still haven't found any.
Basically, I would like a tweak that will automatically convert keyboard shortcuts into phrases.
For example, if you write "!hhh" it automatically changes to "hey how are you?". There is an app called Xpandr on Cydia for iphone and it does exactly that.
Is it possible for someone to develop an app like this that will work with the normal keyboard in any app / input box (even in browsers)?

I too am looking for that but nothing comes close to the iPhone app..
the work around I use is
the in built Auto word function in MultiLing keyboard...
basically u type as soon as possible., you have to choose 'as soon as possible' from the suggestions but it does the job...

Modify HTC / XDA Keyboard Dictionary

Hello all,
I would like to know if it is possible to modify the HTC keyboards stock dictionary. Basically I would like to force it to type "the" every time I accidentally type "Tue".
I am currently using the XDA version of the keyboard, and know that it is possible to edit the user dictionary.
Thanks.

x3, im sick of it trying to shove "OS" onto my texts instead of "is"
I think if you type the word enough it starts to use the other one.
Alright, to get to the user dictionary, pull up the keyboard and look for the microphone icon, it should also have a gear under it on that same button. long press it and this brings up the touch input settings. Scroll down to user dictionary and add or remove any words you would like. The nice thing with that is now I never text ducking to people........
Hi, I would like to know how to access HTC dictionaries too. I am currently deodexing a Gingerbread 2.3.5 ROM to try an d find the needed apk and all.
I am using a ROM which doesn't support French dictionary, spell-checking, or prediction (obviously you might say if there is no dict...) and would like to add at least this dictionary.
Could anyone point me in the right direction ? I would be grateful !
Edit : HTC_IME.apk from stock ROM did the job for me. Check my post here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521922

Text to voice

Hello, has anyone seen an TTS app that runs in the background, where you can long press or open a menu option to speak whatever is on your screen. Would also like one that will read all my gReader feeds, one after another. The only thing I have been able to find is PDF or cut and past. Maybe I'm being too wishful.

Any app that can remember phrases, sentences, etc?

I want to be able to use a gesture / shortuct to be able to paste a remembered phrase or sentence. Does this exist?
I'm using CM9 and the stock messaging app I'm using has the feature. If i go in the app, and go to setting s, it's at the bottom under sms template. It will allow me to make a gesture path and attach whatever phrase or sentence i want by making the gesture on top of the messages. For instance i use an 'L' gesture to send my wife a quick 'i love you'. Hope that helps!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I wanna be able to use this in emails though too and forums.
As far as my knowledge goes, that's the only thing I've found that does that. At least that is one thing you can use it for! :-D

Not exactly... but Clip Ninja (paid -- around $1.45) is a sort of Textarea Cache/Lazarus for Android. Anything you've typed (except passwords) is saved for 7 days by default. You can star stuff to keep it. Then you can paste it into anything. Not via gestures though, but the app resides in your notifications, so you can get to it easy enough.
Multi Ling keyboard from the play store has an add-on called auto-text, where e.g. BB automatically inserts be right back. And you can define your own abbreviations and texts/phrases. But you'll have to use the keyboard in order to get it working.

SwiftKey keyboard has this.. Kinda..
It learns your speech patterns and then suggests the most common words you typically use...
I'm my text message app before I type anything it offer "hey" then the choice of "dude" or "love". As I usually start texts like this to my buds or my wife.
I can send texts without "typing" a single word... It also works in a lot of other apps like xda premium

Hey guys I just bought this device recently , and I noticed somethig weird .. in some places ( like when I long press on a msg for example ) a raw android looking menu pops up .. instead of sense UI menu ... There are some other places where this happens but I don't accurately remember where ... Is this ok ? Or some system bug ??
By the way .. running stock!

First thing you should do is post Screenshots of what you mean if it happens in certain apps, that can be how its supposed to work, as Google has demanded since android 4.0 that every manufacturer also includes its holo ui. An app can choose whether it uses the holo ui or the "stock" ui. Nowadays a lot of developers use the holo ui so the app becomes consistent across devices. In that case you also get the the "raw" android menus, at least assuming that is what you mean with raw.
Also the back speaker is for when you're playing music or when you put the phone in speaker mode while calling.
Hope this was helpful for you, if it was don't forget to press thanks

SMS Enhancer

I want everyone to know about SMS Popup and SMArt Enhancer. I've tired every popup app I could find for one that does not close my games and despite the claims, these two are the ONLY apps that continued to run in the background. SMS Enhancer is the same as SMS poppy except it had more options and settings. So in conclusion, if you are looking for a small, simple, SMS poppy app that doesn't close your game, check out these two.
