I'd like to run translation from Latin to Cyrilic in any app. What's the best way to access that text.
For context.. here is what i want to achieve:
When i write messages with swype like keyboards in my language(Macedonian) they use Cyrilic. But sending Cyrilic texts is more expensive, so i would like to find a quick way to translate them. I could write java app no prob.. but i don't know how to access this text in any app. I've done this by making a custom keyboard and then changing to that keyboard whenever i need to translate.. but it's slow and repetative. I would like some easier sollution.

I don't know why the hell HTC or Google dissables predictive text in some forms like search, address boxes, password forms, but it is ANNOYING as hell. Now that we are rooted, would one of the many talented developers care to take a shot on removing this hindrance and allow predictive text in ALL forms?
Many thanks and a beer to anyone who can figure this out.
Oh and also, how about finding where the dictionary file is saved so that I can do a complete clean wipe and install without losing it.
The MyBackup app from the android market will backup/restore your dictionary.
Nice, thanks for that info.
Me and some friends mostly use twitters "direct message" function to send SMS-like short messages.
Now I had an idea if it's possible to write an app which allows you to write direct messages through a shortcut in the contacts app.
Just like I open the contact app, select the contact who should get my message, tap on "Send DM" (or something like this" and a little window opens in which I can write my message.
I don't know anything about writing apps myself so I just want to know if it's possible, of course if someone writes this app there have to be some other features, like notifications and display the characters count.

I'm sorry for posting again without responses, but I think this idea is too good to be not noticed.
The good things about this app:
-messaging about data connection, no sms costs
-messaging to everyone who has twitter and follows you
-no need that your chat partner has got this app, cause it works trough all twitter clients
-no need to sign up for another service, which only one half of your friends use
-comfortable direct messaging through a nice UI
The bad:
-only 140 characters
-no pictures, files or anything like this due to twitter limitations
I hope now someone will notice this thread
I think it already exists and is available for free in the market. The name of the app is AndroChat.

Oh, you're right and I thouht this would be a great new idea..
Androchat works, but the UI is not very comfortable, are there any alternatives?
I cannot believe there is not a program similar to the windows program "Keyboard Express." If it is useful on a computer it should be doubly so for a smartphone. I am really tired of typing out my email addresses for starters. I am not part of the texting generation typing with thumbs at 100000 keystrokes a minute. Swype is ok, but it would be nice if I could program long strings as a custom gesture or something. Also program macros that could launch programs in batches or with custom parameters. Find it amazing with all the apps out there that I couldn't find one that does this obviously useful function. Maybe I searched for the wrong thing?
I use an app called inserty. It's not as convenient as if it were built in to the keyboard, but it's very flexible, allowing you to insert canned text like email addresses and passwords or text with fill-in fields like the current date and time, your GPS location, etc.
The way it works is that it's a keyboard replacement. To insert something with Inserty, you long-press in the text you're writing, pick "Input method", and pick Inserty. That pops up a list of all your canned phrases; tap on the one you want and then it prompts you for which keyboard you want to go back to. The selected phrase is inserted just as if you had typed it manually, and you're back to your email or SMS or whatever.
As I said, it's not the most convenient mechanism you can imagine, although it certainly beats typing in my longish email address, but I don't think Android has the hooks to do anything less clunky.
The other thing I should mention, since you're a Swype user, is that the SlideIT keyboard has an abbreviation facility that you can customize. For example, you could associate the abbreviation EML with the text [email protected]; every time you trace "eml", one of the words in the suggestion bar will be that abbreviation (abbreviations are shown in green, IIRC), and selecting that entry will insert [email protected] into the text you are writing.
I use Clipper+
It's a clipboard manager. I have mine set easily access via the notification bar. The Snippets feature is what I use the most.
I can easily paste my 18+ character email address, login credentials, short phrases.
Check it out the free version http://market.android.com/details?id=org.rojekti.clipper
Thanks for the replies, I am exploring the programs mentioned. They might not be very direct, but useful.
I ended up using Clipper, it serves the function, albeit awkwardly.

Just want to say thanks for the thread....solved my long entry problems.
Macro Keyboard

You may try the 'Macro Keyboard' , which allows to define aliases
for arbitrary text. Texts can even be parameterized.
Have a look on the Android market. I am not allowed to post a link here yet

I just got the Triumph, rooted it, Installed CWM, and loaded the latest MIUI.
I can send regular (english) SMS messages with no problem. When I try sending Chinese, the receiver doesn't get the Pinyin characters. The receiver gets a line of garbage (question marks, commas, etc). The same happens in reverse. When someone sens me a message in Chinese, I just get garbage instead of Pinyin.
I read somewhere there is a fix for this... a hack, if you will. I can't remember exactly, but it has something to do with the stock message app forcing 7-bit characters? Any ideas on how to fix this?
A friend of mine has this exact problem.
The only difference is that he uses CM7 and tries to send messages in Cyrillic (the alphabet, that is used in Russian and some other Slavonic languages)
Hello everyone.
I searched for a long enough application that made speech / voice for text, but I needed two tools in one as like chat - I write text and made a voice + he just spoke to write the text and look like it was in a chat in live - face to face. I found that the app is only in English and in several languages, it does not support multiple languages because they made it a private database. I want voice and text from Google because it supports the Slovak language database.
Anyone who knows which app is still in development or does it exist?
Thank you!
