Anyone here working on a way to do the voice to text while using swype as the keyboard? Granted I don't use voice to text much, but I think I would a lot more if it had a mic like the newer custom keyboards.
Is there any way we can either customize the keyboard, or find a way to workaround the keyboard?
Lastly before I am flamed I did search, but it just didn't seem like anyone jumped on the mic w/ swype idea, just mentioned that it is an issue...
I use handcent, and quick compose. That is, when you hold the search key a popup comes on so you can compose a new message. There is a mic icon that will start the speech to text. And if you wanted to, you can still click on the text and bring up the swype keyboard (what I do).

I love handcent, but it gets the VVM text messages for me. Plus it just seemed like the stock app ran smoother when I get too many texts...

i am not sure if you all will agree with my idea, but its something that I would like to see. if you use handcent SMS you know that one of the features is quick compose. this allows you to send an SMS from almost any app without needing to switch apps. this is very convenient! i know we are able to do multitasking and switching between apps is not that hard, but there are some apps that, if you press the home button, the app will stop working, you cant resume or the app will crash. An example is Ex Zeus. so just wondering if anyone knows an app similar to what i am asking for or knows if its being designed? i wish i could reroute handcent sms quick compose feature to use google voice instead but thats not possible. i dont think it would be too difficult to design, but i have no idea! let me know what you guys think.
Sms popup on the market.

Nevermind this is about Google voice. It doesn't work with voice. But the quick reply option is in additional settings
I was wondering if anyone had installed the stock android keyboard on their MT4G successfully?
I installed a custom HTC keyboard from gimpsta.com, but after selecting it as my keyboard in Settings, I still get the swype keyboard.

Long press on a text input field, e.g. browser field, message body field, email body field, etc, select "INPUT," then chose the keyboard of your liking. The Touch Input keyboard is HTC's, though, not default Android.
D'oh!
Thank you!! Works perfect.
The keyboard I am using is the HTC IME with a customized skin from gimpsta.com.
Works perfect. I like having my number keys all in a row, also mic input now an option and smiley emoticon button is there.

Thanks for this, I spent hours looking for this in settings. Do you know if its possible to download and install the "default" Android keyboard?

You can use smart keyboard pro which has the skin for the default android keyboard plus others like iphone,htc, and different colors for the default keyboard.

I just want the normal swype keyboard that had the microphone and similies button. How did you go about getting it?
Hi,
When you press the SEARCH key, and typing in the text field ...
Does the keyboard give you text prediction?
And also when you search in the Market app ...
If not, is possible to enable text prediction on all input fields?
Thanks.
Negative on the text prediction for search. I get text prediction in the form of app suggestions on the market, but I don't know if that's quite what you're looking for.
As far as enabling it, I have no idea. I don't recall if any of my past Android devices did text prediction on search. :/

Take a look at SwiftKey. Text prediction is one of the reasons that my wife and I moved to it. We like this keyboard much better than stock, for us it was well worth the money.
This is common for several fields in several different apps. I work for Swype, so I've seen this myself, but since our keyboard doesn't typically work this way it's only been a curiosity for me. I believe it is considered a "feature" since you might want to explicitly type something else other than what prediction guesses. If you want to give Swype a try, the beta is currently open at: http://beta.swype.com/
Hi there,
Thanks for your info. I still find it odd, to not have this common behavior on all input fields.
Heck, the old HTC_IME hack on HTC Desire works pretty well with all the options to have prediction in all kind of input fields (thanks to the modder, jonasl). I still have this on my signature below.
But recently, I like the new Nexus S keyboard. It look slick, easy to type. But yeah, I missed some of the HTC_IME improvements, like SMILEY button!
As for SWYPE, granted, it is a very nice keyboard. But, I don't use ENGLISH that much I am using south-east asian language which is not supported
So, I am afraid that it does not offer much advantage.

The built in Gingerbread keyboard does have a smiley button. It's a "smart" keyboard, it knows what you're doing and shows you the appropriate keys/features/functions.
Go write a txt message, and you'll see a smiley key on the bottom right.
They should've taken out the period and extended the space bar. Its very frustrating when I'm trying to type fast. IPhone still had the best touch keyboard available

Thanks, I did not know that.
Obviously because I am using Nexus S keyboard on my HTC Desire! Probably it does not work fully as designed (I did not see that smiley button).
But, does that smiley button also appear when you type in EMAIL or TEXT AREA like replying to forum like this using the web browser?
Or when typing comments on Facebook app! That would be very nice.

I only see it in the Messaging app.
Hi all,
I realized that the keyboard closes in SMS after each message is sent. I personally find this annoying. Any settings that I am overlooking to fix this?
Thanks!
I think this is the default action for all keyboards, not just the stock HTC one. Therefore, there wouldn't be a universal option not to do this. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yup, it does the same with stock keyboard or SwiftkeyX. Was hoping there's some sort of SMS preferences/setting that I overlooked
It gets annoying if you have to type a few messages!
Agreed, this is pretty annoying. I am thinking it not a keyboard problem but a problem with the messaging app
Anyone having the problem with Google keyboard word prediction not working, it works in text message, but chrome it does not. I tried a different language pack, still no change. I would like to fix this so I don't have to use swype.

My phone does the same thing. Maybe Google intended it....... Works great in text and email.
Yea it doesn't work in chrome. Most annoying. Was the same in my Nexus 6 on N. Can't remember on M. I may switch out keyboards. But then emoji becomes an issue.
For a good 3 months way back when, I complained daily to Google that I did not want word prediction in a browser, any browser. I wasn't alone; there was a very strong opposition from a large population that auto-corrections made it impossible to enter unique web addresses. For example, trying to enter starbits.com changed to Starbucks.com. In addition, the period created a blank space that you'd have to backspace to remove. However, our suggestion was that word prediction not be enabled in the address bar, but should always be allowed in the text search field. Guess that's harder to execute than previously thought. I don't know why that's so difficult. One would think they just have to set the parameter 'text_word_prediction_enable' flag for the right fields. I know you don't want to use Swype; I use Minuum and it predicts words better than anything. I don't ever look at the keyboard to type. I can be 3 letters off and I can still achieve 95% accuracy. Or you can wait for Xposed to work again if you're rooted, and use the Auto Correct module.

At first, you think Minuum is on steroids, but in less than a day, you won't even need to hunt for the keys. Turn on "sloppy typing" and let it fly.

The minimal is fun for a short while but my bad eyes couldn't deal with it. I use the compact-sized full keyboard. It shifts to the right, and I can use one-handed easily.
