Google Scribe is an Auto text completion tool which was launched in Google Labs an year ago. Google has recently added this feature to the Post Editor in its Draft version. Google Scribe helps you write more efficiently by auto completing words and phrases as you type. Google Scribe supports Arabic, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish and the language is automatically detected using the text in the post.



How to Enable Google Scribe in Blogger

1. Login to http://draft.blogger.com
2. In your post editor, you should see a pencil icon on the right(available only in the Compose mode). clicking this icon will enable/disable Scribe.



 and this is how the auto text completion works.. (notice the suggestion in grey)

Once Google Scribe is turned on, suggestions will appear in grey as you type.You can accept the suggestion by hitting the space bar or by keying in a punctuation mark.
3. If you would like to get more than one test suggestion at a time, then click on drop menu next to the Pencil icon, and Select "Show multiple Suggestions"


.
...and here is a screen shot of the multiple suggestion in action.


Keyboard Shortcuts

Ctrl + j - to enable/disable Scribe
Ctrl + Shift + j - to enable/disable multiple suggestions
ESC - to temporarily remove  a suggestion
TAB - to restore a suggestion.

Try scribing, and do let me know how it goes :)..

  5. Hi, I thought I'd better let you know in case you didn't already that there seems to be a problem with your Blogger gadget named "Recent Posts Advanced". The error I'm seeing is...

    "org.apache.shindig.common.xml.XmlException: The element type "meta" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "". At: (1,54)"

    [note: I had to insert a space after "</" above to get it to post here, there isn't a space in the error message.]

    There is an example at the top of my blog (battlereporter.blogspot.com) see right hand bar under "Miniatures Gallery - last 6 posts" (page down a bit)

    Thanks guys,
    Sigmar
