SMS client for Symbian with Eatoni predictive text
The SMS client with the fastest text entry methods, including WordWise and LetterWise for both fans and haters of dictionary-based text entry (e.g. T9).
Why buy a phone with a full qwerty keyboard when you can just transform your favorite Symbian phone into a brilliant typing machine?
Choice of layouts: ABC and EQ3
smsTool comes in two versions: the "plain" (non-EQ3) version that uses your phone's existing ABC layout with Eatoni's text entry engine, and the EQ3 version for users willing to use the alternative layout for even more efficient text entry.
The smsTool EQ3 completely converges a Qwerty keyboard with a telephone keypad, allowing the fastest text entry possible on a cell phone.
Available Versions
You can download demos that have a limit in the length of the messages that you can type. You have to click "buy" and purchase them to receive an activation code for your phone.
Note that versions marked EQ3 use Eatoni's alternative EQ3 layout.

Input Modes
smsTool has three input modes:
For those familiar with word-guessing methods such as T9. WordWise is three times better at guessing words than T9 (when used with the EQ3 layout), and has much more convenient handling of punctuation. Also, WordWise has a much more efficient dictionary mode that uses LetterWise rather than multi-tap.
The simplest method of all. This is for people who find multi-tap too cumbersome, and word-guessing predictive text too uncontrollable. LetterWise is a "What you Type is What You Get" text entry method. Just hit the key with the letter you want, and if it doesn't appear hit "NextLetter" until it does.
- Eatoni MultiTap:
MultiTap optimized for two-thumb typing. This is the mode of choice for those who want to be able to type without looking at the screen or keyboard. It is similar to "abc" multi-tap, but with fewer keystrokes per character, and no need for a time-out or timeout kill button.
EQ3 Keypads
If you purchase an EQ3 version of our Tools, we will provide you with an EQ3 keypad if one is available for your phone model. Visit our EQ3 Keypads page for more information.
