We are pleased to announce that gwabbit for BlackBerry has been upgraded, with some big improvements to our recognition engine! The new version, 1.0.51, is now available for both the Premium and Free versions of gwabbit for BlackBerry.

You will get a notification on the gwabbit application via BlackBerry App World, with an asterisk that indicates when the upgrade is available for you to download from App World. Or, you can download the upgrade directly at: http://www.gwabbit.com/blackberry .

Responding to your requests, we’ve improved gwabbit to allow for better parsing of U.S. postal addresses, better handling of suffixes, and improved capture of international phone numbers:

You asked for improved parsing of postal addresses into the appropriate address fields for city, state and zip. You got it!

You asked for suffixes (e.g., CPA, MD, Esq.) to be placed appropriately with the last name. You got it!

And you wanted gwabbit to capture the “+” sign for international phone numbers. You got it!

We at gwabbit truly appreciate the feedback from our customers, and we are happy to give you what you ask for. Please keep your feedback and suggestions coming — we’ll do our very best to deliver what you want!

Both our gwabbit for Outlook and gwabbit for BlackBerry now incorporate our latest version 2.0 recognition engine. The following is a list of items that have been addressed in this latest upgrade:

• The engine now correctly handles the text added by anti-virus programs such as AVG
• The Improve Results feature (gwabbit for Outlook) is greatly improved, now recognizing a much higher percentage of contact blocks
• Better recognition of non-US phone numbers and non-US addresses
• Better recognition and parsing of HTML emails, taking into account the formatting of the signature block, including stylized text
• Improved handling for new varieties of signature structures, based on the feedback submitted
• Better separation of the “thread” (older email in the same conversation) so as to more accurately identify contact information of the sender. This improvement is especially noticeable in gwabbit for BlackBerry
• Overall improved recognition

We at gwabbit thank you very much for your input and feedback. Please keep it coming! We’ll keep making gwabbit better!
