An autistic boy is using iPad for communication.
But he tend to repeat some of the keys.
repppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppeat instaed of repeat
Is it possible to solve this by a special sw?
Develop an app that will modify the keyboard?
Or install additional keyboard as additional language?
Or install a hook on the keyboard stream and filter it? (windows allows it)
I am not sure if Apple allows any of these ...
Any other solution?
Please note that I am not looking into developing a special application for him. I want him to be able to use any application.
Thanks
Ori

I just set up ncmpcpp on the ubuntu side of my macbook pro, and I'm trying to make an iphone app to control it. How would I go about doing this?
Should I use bluetooth or wifi? (which one would be easier)
And then how would I go about implementing it? What packages should I install in linux? And how would I use them?
I know it's kind of a big topic, and I have several broad questions, but if you can answer any of them or provide any information that would help, I would be incredibly grateful!
Thanks!
That sounds like an ambitious project with a significant scope.
Whenever ideas like this crop up, it's good to take a step back and ask: "What am I trying to accomplish?".
Are you simply wanting to run a music "server" on your Ubuntu portion, and access it via your iPhone? Or are you trying to make a "remote control"?
There are likely apps that will do what you're wanting to do... I know, I know mdp/ncmpcpp is super neat looking, but... practicality!
I'm thinking about implementing basic voice control for an iOS app. The app will have a dictionary with about 30 entries, where each entry is a first and last name. When the user speaks to the app, the app will need to select the correct name from the list of ~30.
One thing I'm not sure about: the list of names is defined by each user of the app. So every user will have a different set of names.
I'm wondering if there is a an open source library that is customizable on this level? My biggest concern is that I won't be able to let the user define the dictionary.
Any ideas on how this could be done?
Thanks in advance, and please forgive the vague question :)

Update: I am aware of the OpenEars library. Can't find anything on their site on if they allow limited, user-defined dictionaries. I can see that an app developer can set a custom dictionary, but nothing on if the app's end user could do this. Thanks for the help!
OpenEars allows you to define your own vocabulary out of the box using http://www.politepix.com/openears/#LanguageModelGenerator_Class_Reference
You can ignore all words outside of the vocabulary you define by using the Rejecto plugin.
You can do something similar with Julius, but I'm told OpenEars has better acoustic models.
I have used Julius in the past it worked very well on a Linux machine.
Now for iOS, some guys creaceed have compiled it for our lovely platform and propose a SDK.
I have no clue on how good it is, but at least there is a trial version you could check. In my opinion for your purpose (1/30 possibilities) it should work pretty well.
What is the best way to accomplish voice to text for a search box? I don't know if there is a good api to help accomplish this. Or is it better to use the built in voice to text that Apple gave us? I am hoping to get this working for older Iphone devices.
Trying to get something done in spite of Apple's OS restrictions is never a good way to approach things in a maintainable way. There is probably a library out there to do voice-to-text, but the built-in one is device restricted because voice-to-text requires some heavy lifting.
I've made a settings screen using the Settings.bundle/Root.plist
Recently my client has seen some apps disable options based on a switch. And now they want something like that.
After searching here and apple resources a lot of people say it's not possible, but I see some apps do this. My question is how can i disable or hide an item or group based on other option.
The apps that do what i'm talking about are using the iphone's definition app, so it's not a costume settings screens in app.
Sorry for the bad english. Thank you for any assistance on this matter.
I'm just going to repeat what the others said and say that it is not possible. It is a static list, always. If you think you've seen an app that does do it, please indicate which one that is and what setting this pertains to. I'd be interested to take a look at that.
A couple of months ago, I posted a question asking if and how phonegap users can alter the keyboard appearance to the dark alert ui keyboard (UIKeyboardAppearanceAlert) without targeting individual textfields. I did some extnsive reaearch myself and offered a bounty but yet the question remained unsolved.
Alter keyboard appearance in native, phonegap/Cordova built iOS App
As of today, I'm still struggling to get this resolved and simply over with. I do realize much probably hasen't happened since last time I bothered you with this question, however, two things have in fact changed which somewhat justifies this seemingly double post:
Phonegap has released version 2.1 which does some new stuff, perhaps this is possible now?
As my client expects me to solve this in any way possible, this time I would also like to ask you for an alternative approach. If it still can't be done, would it be possible to custom make a "keyboard" of my own? I know this of course is technically doable, but is it in any way a recommended approach that would be considered in at least some way smart and justified? As I said, my client pushes hard for this and is not in favor of rebuilding the app completely natively.
Conclusively, as of today is there any way to do this with phonegap / Cordova? If not, would you recommend me to custom make a keyboard using HTML CSS and JavaScript, bearing in mind this is a major comsern for my client? If so, are there any good plugins that I can use as a start? Please check out my old post (linked above) to see what has already been tested.
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan
I know this is quite old but I came accross it looking for the same thing. Anyway, I have found a possible solution which would be to create a plugin for Cordova http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/2.6.0/guide_plugin-development_index.md.html#Plugin%20Development%20Guide
It does require some native coding but would atleast avoid starting an app from scratch which has already been built in Cordova.
