Windows Phone Thoughts: CooTek Updates TouchPal Onscreen Keyboard for Windows Mobile to v2

"It would be useful to help those who upgraded from V1 to understand better about what's new in TouchPal V2. The biggest change is that we refactored all the codes in V1 and made a whole new architecture for V2. Although this is invisible for end users, it is really a huge effort of improvement for TouchPal. With this new powerful infrastructure , it enables the following major features (in both Standard and Professional):
- Multi-language support (including layout, alphabet, and dictionaries)
- Display word candidate in document while typing (you can enable it in Options menu but it may impact performance on some device)
- Numbers inside ABC tab.
- Landscape mode
- Smaller size and resource"



There have been several onscreen keyboards that have been updated lately. CooTek has done some under-the-hood updates including dictionary structure, UI infrastructure, and optimization of size and resource utilization. For those new to TouchPal, the program attempts to combine two letters and a symbol on each button of a QWERTY keyboard-based layout using a technology called T+. TouchPal Standard is free for personal use, while TouchPal v2.0 Professional is normally 19.99 USD. There's a current special until February 1st. Check out more information at CooTek.
