[tomoe-devel 182] tomoe 0.6 on zaurus

[Yong Hu <ec...@ya...>]

My friend wells.wang and me had tested tomoe on zaurus
c1k/c3100.
tomoe is a great. It is the first handwriting input
software support chinese and open source.

zaurus use almost same arm cpu as Nokia 700/800, and
so we faced same problem of Mathieu Blondel.

1. large data file really slow loading and searching
If we want to use tomoe in zaurus, the binary patch is
the only choice.

After read mail list, I may catch some developer's
thought: 
The new binary file need more support work, and it may
waste developer's time because the new algorithm cost
much time and will be released in the near future.
It is hard to make the binary format has enough
flexible to support for new algorithm.

I believe we can find a balance way to solve the
format problem.

To Mathieu Blondel:
Could you attach your binary file in mail list?

2. zaurus and nokia 770/800 use inter xscale cpu, the
special problem is the cpu can not support float
operation. So avoid float operation will speed tomoe
on such a cpu.

Beat regard.
Hu Yong

Are you talking about the new model using HMM? If so, who's working on
this? You seem to know more about this than me. I'm interested in a
progress report :)

By the way, it's pretty easy to convert dictionary files from a format
to another thanks to the Ruby bindings.

Maybe you can try to compile Maemo's version of Tomoe ?

svn checkout https://garage.maemo.org/svn/maemocjk/trunk/tomoe-svn-maemo
svn checkout https://garage.maemo.org/svn/maemocjk/trunk/tomoe-gtk-svn-maemo
svn checkout
https://garage.maemo.org/svn/maemocjk/trunk/uim-tomoe-gtk-svn-maemo
svn checkout

tomoe-svn-maemo includes the binary file backend + various improvements
for the character comparison + the code to switch between Chinese and
Japanese at runtime.

tomoe-gtk-maemo includes the interface to switch between Chinese and
Japanese. Note that you'll probably need to get back to revision 525 for
tomoe-handwriting.c. In Maemo, we have decided to include the
handwriting widget directly in the Virtual Keyboard. For that, I needed
to make some changes in the handwriting widget layout and it was much
simpler to patch directly the library.

HTH,
Mathieu Blondel
