Non-English languages?
Authored by: xTina on Aug 24, '02 09:44:39AM

Does Inkwell work with non-English languages? For example German (umlauts)? Can anyone try? I won't have Jaguar for another couple of days so I'm quite curious about other people's experiences ...

It doesn't seem to like umlauts. Tried a "u" with umlaut and it read it as two "i"s. :(

What about non-English words? I mean, is recognition character-based (would work with German except maybe umlauts) or word-based (won't work unless you can somehow teach it German)?

I just tested it.
It works with german "umlaut" like ä, ü etc..

I haven't tested it yet but in the Settings tab of the Ink PrefPanes there's an options button. One of the options reads "Recognize Western European characters" and it's not checked by default so there's hope that once it's checked it'll recognize accented chars.

no it doesn't at all. I have tried all kinds of letters, like é, è, ö. ü, ä, ß, etc. Of these I onle got the é working right away, the others did not work at all. I've tried to add the Umlauts to the word list, no results still. It's no good for writing any way, much too slow when compared to keyboard typing. To enter little commands like command-h and so forth, its nifty
