QuickWrite is the fastest and most accurate way of entering text into your Symbian Smartphone. It is a small application using minimum system resources that allows you to achieve perfect accuracy and faster typing speeds on your device. After you have typed the first few letters, the application anticipates the word you are going to type and automatically suggests or completes the word from its pre-installed spelling dictionary (T9 Functionality). It also displays a pop-up window that contains all the similar words so that you can chose any word you want. QuickWrite can be used for entering text to almost any installed application on your device like address book, notes, calendar app, messaging, web browsing and much more.
QuickWrite is developed by MobiSystems and can be purchased from developer’s website for $27.48. For trial purposes, the developers also provide a free version on their website that can be downloaded by clicking here.
The program is compatible with all Smartphones operating on Symbian S60 3rd edition platform and readers are requested to check their device compatibility before buying the paid version. After connecting my device to a desktop computer, I used Nokia PC Suite to install the app on my Smartphone.
After completing the installation process, I opened the app by going to my phone's Main Menu → Applications → QuickWrite which directed me to its main screen which displayed all the installed FEP plug-ins on my device.
Here I selected the QuickWrite tab and then pressed the ‘Options’ button to access program options. Then I enabled the app by selecting the ‘Activate text engine’ option so that whenever I entered any text into my device it was handed by the app.
The app now supported easy text entry by predicting the word from the first few letters I typed or by displaying a list of similar words in a pop-up window where I could select any word and enter it into the text I was composing.
This options menu includes other options like register, help, about an exit. I could access ‘QuickWrite options’ by clicking on the second option which further guided me to a new options menu screen. Selecting the ‘Add word’ option allowed me to add a new word to app’s built-in dictionary and selecting the ‘Change dictionary’ option allowed me to switch to other dictionaries installed on my device.
Here I could switch from letter mode to number mode and also open the special character dialogue box.
The ‘Preferences’ button allowed me to select the dictionary and also allowed me to configure the number of letters after which I wanted to display the pop-up window. Here I could configure the number of words I wanted to be displayed in the pop window and also set the size of this window on my screen.
After using QuickWrite for several days, I really got addicted to it and came to the conclusion that it is a must-have and an essential tool for all users who handle a lot of text on their Symbian Smartphones.
The app made text entry much easier and also a lot of fun because now I could compose my messages and create text notes much faster. I was quite impressed by the accuracy of the program and I could select the desired world from a list of given words.
But I think being a text entry app it is quite expansively priced at approximately $28.00 and budget users will think twice before buying it. I recommend my readers to download and test the trial version and see for themselves whether they really want to buy a text entry app at this price.
