Hello all,
I would like to know if it is possible to modify the HTC keyboards stock dictionary. Basically I would like to force it to type "the" every time I accidentally type "Tue".
I am currently using the XDA version of the keyboard, and know that it is possible to edit the user dictionary.
Thanks.

x3, im sick of it trying to shove "OS" onto my texts instead of "is"
I think if you type the word enough it starts to use the other one.
Alright, to get to the user dictionary, pull up the keyboard and look for the microphone icon, it should also have a gear under it on that same button. long press it and this brings up the touch input settings. Scroll down to user dictionary and add or remove any words you would like. The nice thing with that is now I never text ducking to people........
Hi, I would like to know how to access HTC dictionaries too. I am currently deodexing a Gingerbread 2.3.5 ROM to try an d find the needed apk and all.
I am using a ROM which doesn't support French dictionary, spell-checking, or prediction (obviously you might say if there is no dict...) and would like to add at least this dictionary.
Could anyone point me in the right direction ? I would be grateful !
Edit : HTC_IME.apk from stock ROM did the job for me. Check my post here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521922

Hi there!
I am constantly switching input methods and languages, and fortunately Swype makes it easy enough to do the last one.
The thing is: my main input method is Swype, either in portuguese our english. But when I'm editing a spreadsheet, for instance, I actually prefer the stock HTC keyboard, for which I have turned off word suggestion and completion.
So, I would like to know if anyone here knows a way to automatically change the input method depending on the app I'm currently using. That would be just perfect!
Cheers

Hello XDA forum. This is my first time posting to the site so forgive me, I am new to this.
I was wondering if there is either an app or a method for editing the custom dictionary in swype. I find it extremely annoying that swype can easily add/save words that were typos to the dictionary. In order to remove these typos I need to highlight the word and then press the swype button. I wish there was a faster way to edit the dictionary directly as I do not know what words were accidentally added. I have a rooted evo, so if I can edit the file manually or there is another way, can someone please point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance for your help.

but it doesnt save the words until after u press the space bar so all u gotta do is read what your typing as your typing it
Something I do after a while is clear the data on it from the applications menu. it'll clear out any words you have made, making it easier to type actual words and not short ones you might have made.

any words you type in error, and you've hit space, hit backspace so you are right up next to the word, then hit the swype icon (bottom left corner), error is removed so long as it is not already a word according to Swype
hey, i tried your method but for some reason those words just keep coming back when I type? am i doing something wrong? I restarted my phone after i did it too. do you swype fast? I dont know if maybe that's a problem if i swype too fast? well lmk what you think. thanks!

Perfect bro. That option didn't even cross my mind. That's exactly what I needed. I don't care about any words I added. I just wanted to eliminate the typo words that I had accidentally added over time. And there were many. Lol its working great now! All of your suggestions are helpful everyone! Thank you all, I really appreciate it. Perhaps swype will add access to the custom dictionary eventually. Thanks again guys.

i uninstall/clear data about 2 to 3 times between releases of the beta, because the dictionary gets so clogged it is just plain old bad and slow. i'm actually using the kb from the 'first blood theme' right now. shon+devil did a great job. i'm finally getting the hang of manually typing stuff in again, and it's actually pretty accurate. i'm not typing completely wrong words anymore, just 1 or 2 letters off sometimes. if you haven't tried it in a while, do. if you haven't tried our theme, also do.

Check this out! HTC's own version of Swype?!
Would be cool if the older devices get this update! Won't require dual core for it, if thats htc's pathetic excuse again!
maybe？
oh it's crazy i think 。。for me。it never minds

I wonder if this will be better than Swype and SwiftKey.
i donot need it ，but thank you for sharing all the same
Hello, I've searched for swype and HTC Trace in the market, but I didn't find none of them. What is the exact name of the application to install, to have the swype active?

From memory when I installed swype you have to get it through your browser on your phone and download it from their site,though I'm sure someone will correct me if my memory is failing.

You are correct! Download the beta for Swype from here...

You need to sign up to an account first though.

Thanks, but, is this something that overrides the default keyboard adding the swype function or is it a new one?
No it won't override, merely give you an alternate keyboard option. Its not obvious how to turn it on though so once installed, do the following;
In settings, go to 'languages & keyboard' and put a tick in the 'Swype' box.
Then in any text entry box, do a long press, and select 'Input Method' and choose Swype.
Nice Swype tip: It has a nice (hidden) cursor keyboard. Access it by Swyping from the bottom-left menu button, to the button to the right of it.

Some nice themed Swype keyboards here (although the cursor board is missing some keys)

Is there some keyboard that looks like the default one? (I mean the original one)
I've seen that these keyboards need to be flashed. Is there a way to come back to the stock one just in case I don't like the new one? I've seen there is some keyboard zip file here on xda, but I'm not sure of what is the stock one.
EDIT: for instance, I've found this thread. There is a so called "HTC_Keyboard_Without_Arrows"; I guess it is the stock one. Isn't it?

I picked up this keyboard when it was free on the Amazon App Store a while back. It's awesome! You have several different input options:
tap-type
trace (like Swype)
voice (great recognition!)
write (like a stylus)
I use the voice method most, but all of them work really well. And unlike a lot of other aftermarket keyboards, this one has numbers and special characters on long-press (they're shown above the letters).
The only thing I'm missing coming from the stock HTC Sense keyboard is the directional buttons for moving the cursor around text fields - without a trackball, it's kind of a pain to move around by touching. At least this keyboard has a 'pointer' you can drag around, which makes it a little easier.
Any other great keyboards out there?
I'd like a keyboard I could fully customize. I'd love to be able to remove the buttons that I never use and just get in the way (voice button, language button, etc).
I'd also like to force the predictive text to pick the words I want by default. Typing "aren't" always tries to replace it with "seen" grrrr.

SwiftKey X is a good one to use too. There's a free beta in the market, and by far the best keyboard I've used

The arrow keys on Gingerbread are hidden but can be brought in by just dragging the spacebar up and hidden by dragging it down, which I like since I hardly use them but still need them every once in a while
Is there a way to make the keyboard default to FlexT9 or Swiftkey or whatever you have installed? It's kind of annoying to have to set it up every time I restart the phone.
I want to be able to use a gesture / shortuct to be able to paste a remembered phrase or sentence. Does this exist?
I'm using CM9 and the stock messaging app I'm using has the feature. If i go in the app, and go to setting s, it's at the bottom under sms template. It will allow me to make a gesture path and attach whatever phrase or sentence i want by making the gesture on top of the messages. For instance i use an 'L' gesture to send my wife a quick 'i love you'. Hope that helps!

I wanna be able to use this in emails though too and forums.
As far as my knowledge goes, that's the only thing I've found that does that. At least that is one thing you can use it for! :-D

Not exactly... but Clip Ninja (paid -- around $1.45) is a sort of Textarea Cache/Lazarus for Android. Anything you've typed (except passwords) is saved for 7 days by default. You can star stuff to keep it. Then you can paste it into anything. Not via gestures though, but the app resides in your notifications, so you can get to it easy enough.
Multi Ling keyboard from the play store has an add-on called auto-text, where e.g. BB automatically inserts be right back. And you can define your own abbreviations and texts/phrases. But you'll have to use the keyboard in order to get it working.

SwiftKey keyboard has this.. Kinda..
It learns your speech patterns and then suggests the most common words you typically use...
I'm my text message app before I type anything it offer "hey" then the choice of "dude" or "love". As I usually start texts like this to my buds or my wife.
I can send texts without "typing" a single word... It also works in a lot of other apps like xda premium
