Free text entry software for linux

Text::vFile::toXML can convert vFiles into equivalent XML.

SYNOPSIS

This module converts iCalendar (iCal : generically, vFile) files into their (equivalent) XML (xCalendar / xCal) representation, according to Royers IETF Draft (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-royer-calsch-xcal-03).

# Enable functional interface
use Text::vFile::toXML qw(to_xml);

# Input filename
my $arg = "input.file";
my $a = Text::vFile::toXML->new(filename => $arg)->to_xml;
my $b = Text::vFile::toXML->new(filehandle =>
do { open my $fh, $arg or die "cant open ics: $!"; $fh }
)->to_xml;

use Text::vFile::asData; # to make the functional example work
my $data =
Text::vFile::asData->new->parse(
do {
open my $fh, $arg
or die "Cant open vFile: $!"; $fh
}
);
my $c = Text::vFile::toXML->new(data => $data)->to_xml;

# Use functional interface
my $d = to_xml($data);

# Now ($a, $b, $c, $d) all contain the same XML string.

Text::Yats is Yet Another Template System.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Yats;

my $template = < < ENDHTML;
< html >
< head >
< title >$title - $version< /title >
< /head >
< body >
< form >
< select name="names" >< !--{1}-- >
< option $selected >$list< /option >
< !--{2}-- >< /select >
< /form >
< /body >
< /html >
ENDHTML

my $result = "";
my $tpl = Text::Yats- >new(
level = > 1,
text = > $template);

$result .= $tpl- >section- >[0]- >replace(
title = > "Yats",
version = > "Development", );

$result .= $tpl- >section- >[1]- >replace(
list = > [hdias,anita,cubitos],
selected = > { value = > "selected",
array = > "list",
match = > "anita", } );

$result .= $tpl- >section- >[2]- >text;
print $result;

Soothsayer is an intelligent predictive text entry platform. Soothsayer exploits redundant information embedded in natural languages to generate predictions. Soothsayers modular and pluggable architecture allows its language model to be extended and customized to utilize statistical, syntactic, and semantic information sources.
A predictive text entry system attempts to improve ease and speed of textual input. Word prediction consists in computing which word tokens or word completions are most likely to be entered next. The system analyses the text already entered and combines the information thus extracted with other information sources to calculate a set of most probable tokens.
The set of most probable tokens, a list of suggestions, is displayed to the user. If the token the user intended to enter is in the list, the user selects it and it is automatically entered by the system. If the list of suggestions does not contain the desired word, the user continues entering text until the correct suggestion is offered or until the user is done entering text.
Soothsayer is fundamentally different from predictive input technologies commonly found on mobile phones, which might more accurately be described as disambiguating text entry rather than predictive text entry systems.
Such systems do not try to guess what the user intends to write in the future, only to determine what they most-likely intend to write in the present, given their past input.
Soothsayer, on the other hand, actively predicts the what the user intends to write, and only reverts to word completion mode if the prediction did not contain the desired token.
Soothsayer is free software and its distributed under the term of the General Public License.
Enhancements:
- This release includes the new abbreviation expansion predictive plugin, which allows users to specify a file containing a list of abbreviations/expansions pairs.
- It also includes bugfixes and documentation improvements.

Dasher is a zooming predictive text entry system, designed for situations where keyboard input is impractical (for instance, accessibility or PDAs).

Dasher is usable with highly limited amounts of physical input while still allowing high rates of text entry.

Dasher is Free software released under the GPL. Further documentation may be found in the Doc/ subdirectory.

Text::Highlight is a syntax highlighting framework.
