I have a standard 12-key mobile phone keypad connected to my Linux machine as a I2C peripheral. I would like to write a code which allows the text entry to the computer using this keypad (something like T9 on the mobile phones)
According to the http://www.yorku.ca/mack/uist01.html dictionary-based disambiguation is coming in the mind. With dictionary-based disambiguation, each key is pressed only once. For example, to enter the, the user enters 8-4-3-0. The 0 key, for SPACE, delimits words and terminates disambiguation of the preceding keys. The key sequence 8-4-3 has 3 × 3 × 3 = 27 possible renderings (see Figure 1). The system compares the possibilities to a dictionary of words to guess the intended word. I would like to ask some guru here to give me the direction which technique (Python functionality) or which strategy to use to solve this riddle. Thanks for your advices and comments Regards Petr Jakes -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
