Description:
PKWrite is a text entry tool which dramatically enhances the speed and functionality of cellular/mobile phone key entry systems (e.g. T9 or Predictive Text) - namely 8 alphabetic buttons/keys (namely 'ABC', 'DEF', 'GHI', 'JKL', 'MNO', 'PQRS', 'TUV', 'WXYZ') which are used to capture any word in the device's dictionary.
Now is also a DA (Desk Accessory) which allows you to quickly exit the field you are in, type in PKWrite and return to your application with the text automatically typed inserted for you and copied to your clipboard.
Why use PKWrite ?
- Fast entry using only a few large keys !
- Type with one hand using the thumb-optimised layouts !
- Text entry similar to that used by most cellular/mobile phone manufacturers
- Only 8 keys used to type all 26 alphabetic characters
- Intelligent "guessing" of intended words using frequency-based dictionary
- Word/Phrase completion available
- Left and right-handed layouts included. Also, different size layouts included (normal and thumb-optimised)
- Copies text automatically to clipboard when exiting PKWrite, which can be pasted into the target application
- Ability to add and remove words and phrases from the built in dictionary (registered version only)
- Ability to change the case of all the selected words or current word
- Frequency-based ordering of dictionary words. This is updated constantly as words are chosen.
- 6,800 word dictionary included
- Automatic sentence shifting provided (after '?', '!' and '.')
- Added 2 dictionaries - US and UK english
- Kyocera Smartphone version avaliable (maps phone keys to PKWrite keys) at my web site
Update Description:

Wow! At last predictive text for free on the Palm! Would look much better with colour-coded buttons and a bold font for the letters on the buttons.

Nicely done! Being able to create your own personalized dictionary (like BDicty) is a big help. To see/download a video demonstraion of this DA, go to the author's website above. Thanks Robert!

Good Idea because my grafeti are on my palm is bad now that its old. And useing the keyboard is slow. This should be a good alternative
