why would that be? colloquial language (nad that's what is to be considered) contains only several thousends words, still a lot but far away from millions. > But what to do if the users inputs something > that's not in the dictionary? but that's a problem with every dictionary -- you never can contain every possible word. i don't use the keyboard and i do not follow the discussion close, but what always struck me odd was the use of a text file. why not use a db? it would enable learning, too. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
