Using Noah Lite

Upon startup Noah Lite displays by default About screen.

Starting to type a word or pressing the spyglass icon brings the screen with list of words. The list will automatically scroll to the nearest word matching entered text.

List can also be navigated in following ways:

  • on screen up/down arrows and left/right arrows scroll the list by a screen
  • using Treo's or Tungsten's 5-Way Navigator, up/down scroll by one word, left/right scroll by a screen, center selects a word

Pressing Cancel button returns to main screen.

Tapping on a word or pressing "return" (in Graffiti it's a move from upper right to lower left corner) brings word definition. If a definition doesn't fit on one screen it can be scrolled using hardware up/down buttons, by tapping on the screen (tapping on the upper part scrolls up, on the lower part scrolls down), scrollbars or 5-Way Navigator's up/down buttons (available e.g. on Treo or Tungsten).
You can move to next/previous word by using left/right arrows.

Some functions can be invoked via menu:

  • Find word - brings screen with list of words
  • Help - displays short instructions
  • About - displays About screen

Troubleshooting

If upon startup Noah Lite shows "Cannot find database. Please see manual for more information." error message it usually means that the dictionary database file (dict.pdb) has not been installed on the device. Please verify that the file is present in internal memory (Noah Lite doesn't support external memory card such as SD/MMC card or Memory Stick).
