[Q] Swype is great, but no microphone Key - Captivate General

Am I missing something? or is there a way to do voice transcription on the swype keyboard?

I have to switch to android keyboard by long pressing in the text box when I want to use the voice-to-text. This is usually just when I am in the vehicle driving.

I would like to get swype but it isn't available anymore. I wonder if there is a link or mirror to a previous download?
This is the soundtrack to the rEVOlution.

Not sure if it will still work or not, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

P.S. If it doesn't work, try searching Google (this was the first result.)

Post from Brian Resnik on the Swype Customer Feedback Forums says the voice microphone key is coming. He goes into some detail in the comments as to some of the difficulties they have encountered with the feature.
Go to swype dot com, click "My Swype" in the upper right, then "Swype Forum" from the left column. It's the fourth or fifth one down.

I'll try it out. I have been googling swipe for two days but so far all I can find are articles that end with swype not available. Lol.
Thanks for the help.
This is the soundtrack to the rEVOlution.

Wouldn't work. I'll just wait it out till they have it up and running again.

Why is messaging typing so slow?

On nearly every ROM i have used so far the typing for messaging, be it an email or a text, just crawls along. It is so painful. I have to sit there and wait and wait for the words to catch up. I'm sure you all know what i'm referring to. I did a search and didn't find a thread about it, although i am sure a solution is out there. Much thanks i you can point me in the right direction.
EDIT: P.S. Please pardon my faux pas....i just now realized, i did not mean to post this to this forum. Mods if you would like to move to the main Raph forum please do so. Cheers!
Mod Edit: Added the cab from the Kaiser forum to speed up keyboard as it works on the Touch Pro as well.

try disabling xt9 and see what happens.
I've noticed the same issue here! Still haven't found a fix tho ;-\
Kewlj1313
not sure where "x"t9 is, but i am pretty sure i have any t9/word complete options turned off and it still crawls. I pretty much want to get rid of that black box that appears around my words above the input area...i think that's the culprit
Did you really disable word completion under settings / input ??
Not sure why this is such a stupid question, as i would be keen to know the answer myself. You can wait ages for the input to catch up, once you have finished typing. So if anyone can help on this, i too would be grateful.

I checked again and there was one more word complete in there somewhere that was not turned off....did a soft reset and it seems to be working normally Thanks for telling me to check again!
I have the same thing, too. When I slide open the phone and start typeing away, i have to let the letters catch up so I can see what I'm typing.
Kinda annoying...

Hello,
Could you please tell me where the other text completion format is?
I went to settings and messaging and turned that off as well as in the advanced config.
Thanks
Nevermind, it is still delayed for me
The settings are where karloe says earlier. Just check all the options and such everywhere in input settings, but i'm still getting delayed typing. It sucks

Fn + Space then choose ABC.
I know this is pretty obvious but I didn't know it, I found the solution here in the forum. Hope it helps you as it helped me.

I did that and the link took me back here!!
Bump
I've tried every tweak, etc. out there....i am guessing that not everyone is having this problem then?
Another thing i notice that is annoying is that when i create a word it tends to save that word in the "word memory" just above the typing box, and if i jump to another part of the message and it still has saved that last word i typed, it will insert that word if i put a space or type a letter. Also very annoying. I have no word complete's or anything are turned on.
Mine works just fine...
But typing was very slow on my old Mogul.

SlideIT autospace option

SlideIT is always placing a space between words or, more accurate, in front of all words. Only the first word in a text gets away without a space before it. But, if I write the first word in a text, delete it to replace it with another word, it will create a space and the word will be all small letters!
Example:
Hi it's me!
(now, if i want to replace the word "Hi" with "Hello", I'll go back, delete that word only, and it turns out like this:
<space>hello it's me!
(a space in front of the first word, and its all small letters)
Also, in my language (norwegian) there is a lot of words that are combined by two words, but SlideIT doesn't allow me to enter two words without a space between them, unless i go back and delete the space myself.
Well, easy solution: Go to options and de-select the Automatic space option! Yeah, thats the problem right there. I've already tried a bunch of times, but it doesn't change anything! The spaces keep appearing no matter what!
I've already emailed Dasur, and here is what I got:
Dear Sven Erik
We will check this issue,
Can you tell me if it append aso in Note an Word application ?
Best regards,

I answered YES to both apps, but still no answer.. (Sent on April 12th)
So, is anyone else having this problem?
Any solutions?
SlideIT looks nice and is nice to use but it has lots of little annoying bugs like the one you highlight here. The killer for me was the correction issue with HTC Messaging. I emailed Dasur suggesting they change their editing to the method Swype uses where you can place the cursor anywhere in a word to change it to something else using the suggestion system. With SlideIT you need to highlight the entire word which can't be done in HTC Messaging. As a result, any changes when composing text messages means the word has the be deleted and retyped in it's entirety.
As a result I'm still using Swype until these problems are resolved.

Norsk og tysk har mange likheter! (Er det riktig?)
I have the exact same issue: In German, many words are combined to create longer words as well and because the automatic space option is not working, it is not possible to enter them without having to remove the spaces inbetween manually afterwards. I also contacted Dasur and they sent me an answer thanking me for the feedback... But nothing has happened since! Otherwise SlideIt is awesome!
talk to them on their facebook page, they may be a bit more responsive there.

Yup, Norwegian is part of the German language tree
I sent Dasur a new mail yesterday, and again they reply with questions. I answer them, and guess what? No replies...
Same problems with dutch language here. I also searched for a solution and sent an e-mail but no response.
I got my response from Dasur now, it seems like the auto space option is only ment for ABC-mode:
It's not a bug,
We think that in slide mode* you write word after word
and not try to add word to word (in most languages you can't combine words)
my suggestion to you is to save the long words and to slide them in one slide
In the next version we will offer to disable the auto space in the slide mode too.

But that sucks! Sliding really long words with one pass is very inconvenient! The margin for errors is far too big! And it would be such an easy thing to implement! Come on!
Oh well... We'll see what the next version brings.
I just realized that the auto space option makes no sense if it is only ment for the abc mode, as you enter all letters and spaces manually. so as a reply to the mail I received earlier (see my previous posts) i had to reply:
Hi,
So what you are saying is that auto space option can only be turned off in abc mode? Is there even auto space in abc mode? How does auto space work in abc mode? I am sorry, but I cannot seem to make any sense of this...

I agree, v4.1.0.3 has been out for quite a while now so i hope im wrong but i think it will still be a wihle before a newer version is released.
As mentioned, it actually does respond faster than Swype but Swype is much more finger friendly, has less bugs, its just a smarter layout for editing etc.
SlideIT has great advantages though like the abbreviations etc so if they can just tweak it a little, it will be better than Swype. Needs skins as well, very plain unfortunately.
New mail received!
Okay, i still cant seem to figure these guys out...
Dear Sven Erik
We meant that when you are tapping after a word in slide mode you will not get the auto space
if you slide you will get auto space always

great keyboard works great
Took at look at your website, looks like a very good keyboard. I have the TMOUS HD2, and I've never liked its keyboard -- its keys are too close together.
I'd like to try SlideIT, but I have a question first. Can this keyboard be uninstalled if I don't like it by using "Remove programs" on my HD2? Thanks!
Looks like a great improvement. I'll post some feedback after some use. I already like the numbers/symbols being available by long press. That was one of the features lacking compared to Swype in my opinion.

No, I installed it on a RhodiumW. It shows up fine in the Remove Programs though. I haven't tried uninstalling, but it's generally pretty easy to look at a cab and just delete files from your phone if it won't uninstall. There's only 5 files, a shortcut added to \windows\startup, and 1 registry entry. A .dll goes in \Windows and 4 other files go in \Program Files\SlideIT. There's a setup.dll, but that probably just pops up the registration screen after install (though I don't know how to take the dll apart and see what it does ).
mwalt2:
Neither do I (know how to dissect dll's)!! Thanks for the details. I'll probably give it a try after I backup my phone with SPB Backup, just in case.
Works smooth, i like the keyboard also, doesnt lag. Some words to need to be spelled out tho, other than no problems. Definitly a GO
I tried to try the keyboard. It's always asking for an activation key. So it wasn't possible for me to try it. But it looks great. I'm using Goatrip 5.5..

Yes, since it didn´t work at my device (allways asking for activation) I uninstalled it using the windows routine. Everything seems to work as it should afterwards.
Here's my review after a few days of use.
Errors/Bugs
-General Settings - It says ‘Taping’ instead of Tapping.
-Check for update returns “You have a last version. Update is not available.” It would probably be more grammatically correct to just say "You have the latest version."
-Did have some problems getting it to type after initial install. I needed to switch to different keyboard and back to slideit in order for it to work correctly.
-At one point, I got stuck on registration/settings page and a task manager showed almost 11 MB of memory being used by SlideIT. It locked up the phone. This seems to be almost exclusively related to the registration pop up. It appears at different times (not just after a soft reset). I have a problem of it appearing after ending a call. It makes the device non-responsive for several seconds until the phone allows me to press 'OK'. I imagine this would not occur if I had a licensed version.
Likes over previous version
-Symbols above letters
-Smiles
-Moving the period to right of space bar. I was always pressing "," before in the previous version of SlideIT.
Suggestions
-Add a feature for one letter words like “I” an “a” where you can slide from I to space and have a space-I entered. As it is now, a space has to be entered manually before pressing “a” or “I”.
-Change Brown to default to the color instead of the name (lower case). Just personal preference I suppose .
Thanks and looking forward to the final version.
I would like to try it, looks nice to me, but when I press demo button it tells me that I need internet connection to activate demo. Probably becouse I am on wi-fi not on data connection. When I will have working intetrnet settings for prepay O2 UK I will try again. It would be nice to be abble to register with wi-fi internet co
nnection. Sorry for my English.

[Q] [q] t9 prediction problem!

I know i know...who the **** uses T9 anymore? I DO! So I had this problem with my HTC Sensation 4G and now I am having the same problem with HTC One S. I have predictive texting on while using T9 and it won't recognize simple words like "it" or "am." When I type out "it," it turns into "gt." I've tried adding those words into my personal dictionary to see if it would change anything but it doesn't. I have the open of clicking to see more predictive words but that just takes up so much time. I know this is such a small issue but does anyone have this problem too? And has anyone found a solution to this?! It's annoying the crap out of me! I know i can just switch to standard qwerty keyboard but i like T9...easier to text while driving and my fingers won't **** up the words as easily. RAWR! anyway...suggestions and comments are welcome and much appreciated!
Find the mirror app, activate it. Then find the lever on left side of steering wheel, tilt it upwards, check rear view mirror and pull over ffs.
Also if this happens only on short words check if you have maybe by mistake added some short words like gt to your personal dictionary and this is why they are picked first?
What's a mirror app? >.< And where can I get it? I saw literal mirror apps at the google play store but I'm assuming you weren't talking about that kind of mirror app.
I did check my personal dictionary and there was no "gt" added in there, but thank you for the suggestion!

Gboard: adding direction arrows at the bottom of the keyboard

Wtf? Does anyone know how to add direction keys at the bottom of the Gboard? The only way I know is through the settings...
I want permanent keys.

Hey thanks psychoreactor[\b], i completely forgot about swift and good timing you must be psychic because i done a factory reset after a propper root on my samsung a70 because the unofficial root psge had the link st the bottom and i was getting stuck in a boot screen with my own recovery.. Well i tried, however, i forgot to unecrypt my sdcard... Big dramas and the titanium backup was on the internal which got wiped.. Long story short i was playing around with Grammarly and the samsung keyboards and i could have sworn kne of them had directional keys... As you can imagine, i was congused ss jeck and i had the backup codes for my google slave account and MEGA key on that sdcard thst was ebcrypted... It doesn't stop there though because me, like an idiot started downloading software that promised to decrypt... Yeah right.. Monkey balls..
But here i am now, without two account s lost, tried contacting them... Nada..
So my friend, the show must go on and i learnt a valuable lesson in the the procces.
Always backup productively, reduce mutitasking and focus on one step at a time. AND, theres no place like XDA.
(the following advertisement was brought to you by SwiftKey) cheers ?
Hopefully Gboard implements it, because i love the dictation button on the upper right
