Hi fellow Newton users,
Another bug found... & fixed.
What's alt.rec....?
alt.rec.... is a utility to improve dramatically the HWR input with any NOS
2.x Newton MessagePad. The technology there for raw improvement uses
dictionaries, hence raw improvement is not felt with cursive recognition.
But since the first versions of alt.rec.... many new features has been
added to allow, whatever the recognizer is used, a better & faster
recognition.
These features include
- a direct spell checker for newly introduced word (wrong words are in a
special style),
- an improved correction popup showing both the correctness of the words
(same principle) and offering to learn the unknown words,
- a little patch (in fact, at the heart of alt.rec....) offering the popup
even with a keyboard opened,
- a complex and complete expansions mechanism with no limit (at least, no
known limit).
Where to get further explanations?
You can get more information on our website. However, the alt.rec.... page
of our new website hasn't been designed yet. You can then go to the older
page, although not everything is explained there:
http://www.pnm-consulting.com/newton/presentation.htk
Or you can look at DNUG's database where all changes from the very first
public version to this one can be found with explanations (they paste our
own comments)
http://www.dnug.dk/versions/db-show/?Product=1599&
alt.rec.... future versions will include, as soon as we know how to
properly implement that (and in fact, very soon) another recognizer with
extended alphabets (with, for example, non roman characters) and more
personalized to replace both Rosetta and Paragraph. (serious plans here
state before March 2001).
In a closer future, we thought of implementing soon our technology for
words boudaries detector which is today at an experimental stage (probably
to come with 0.7a1 in few months).
What's new since last version (0.6a8)
The 0.6a9 update is a minor update. It fixes one bug.
- an internal bug when opening the system preferences
We also remind you that alike all P&M Consulting Newton Program Software,
alt.rec.... is entirely free.
It can be downloaded from our FTP as usual:
ftp://ftp.pnm-consulting.com/newton/beta/alt.rec....-0.6a9.pkg.sit.hqx
ftp://ftp.pnm-consulting.com/newton/beta/alt.rec....-0.6a9.pkg.zip
ftp://ftp.pnm-consulting.com/newton/beta/alt.rec....-0.6a9.pkg
Thanks for your support.
Regards,
Paul Guyot
