Maliit Keyboard: Word suggestions and error correction

Via: @timsamoff

Michael Hasselmann has posted information on a new feature now available in Maliit - the open source virtual keyboard used in Harmattan: This is a feature that I personally wanted for a long time. [...] I finally managed to get word prediction and error correction beyond prototype quality. The video shows just how amazingly good the Presage word prediction can be, even without extensive training (in fact, for the video we used the minimal language model training that comes with a regular Presage installation). The second part of the video shows how combining Presage with a spellchecker such as Hunspell further improves the provided word candidates. A video demonstrating the feature is included.

Testing requirement for Harmattan PR1.0 removed from N9 Nokia Store

Due to the number of Harmattan users that have updated to PR 1.1 and PR 1.2 firmware levels, it is no longer necessary for applications in the Nokia store to pass QA on PR 1.0. Hence, we have initiated steps to change the principal test environment from Harmattan PR 1.0 to Harmattan PR 1.1 in the Nokia Store. If your application previously has been rejected on account of PR1.0-incompatibility, those issues are now automatically waived. The SDK and corresponding sysroot in the Harmattan target is not (yet) updated from PR 1.0. In other words, you will still compile against Harmattan PR 1.0 sysroot for time being. Availability of a newer sysroot and instructions on how to take it into use will be announced at an appropriate time.
