Yes, it's nice to see that pmOS is already enabling experimentation into such things as graffiti-like gesture input. ISTR that people used to be quite proficient w/ the old graffiti system when it was around, so this might turn out to be the most usable input system on these devices, at least for power-users, and until wholly-open voice-recognition systems become viable.



I used this setup daily on a geeksphone keon for about a year. I liked it quite a bit. Sadly the screen got broken and 2G service was getting bad. :) I hope to bring this fun experience to another phone with pmos. After the modem starts working I can pull together what I had before for texting and contacts and push it to the shelli repo.


I also experimented quite a bit using pocketsphynx for voice recognition and espeak for synthesis. Some things worked pretty well if I kept the set of recognizable things small, which I liked anyway.
