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.

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
Got the Swiftkey X paid keyboard today based on recommendations in forums etc.
I like it, I can see how it could be a lot more accurate than the stock keyboard on my Samsung Galaxy S2. But there seems to be a terrible bug.
On some applications, it doesn't display the top line of the keyboard where the predictive text shows and can be selected. Sort of makes this keyboard a non-starter, wish I could get my money back.
Didn't work in Poynt, Didn't work in the stock brower, which is amazing. There must be some others, I don't have that many applications installed.
Anyone else having this issue? Any known fix?
Thanks
Harry
Have you set it as default keyboard?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Of course. I didn't say that the Swiftkey X keyboard doesn't come up, only that the top line with the prediction info doesn't come up.
SwiftKey won't autocorrect things in poynt. Or browser because you "may" be searching for something like a name of a street or coffee shop that is spelt different. In the browser the address bar is also a search bar. Spelling toysrus would otherwise get you "tosses" that would get old after time. So the suggestion box stays dormant.
I hope this makes sense.

Hey just curious on how to change my keyboard while in any app that uses the keyboard to input text. I tried to press and hold an empty space on the screen and the input method never pops up like on all other Android versions.

Nevermind I figured it out. When you are typing there is a keyboard notification at the top and you just have to click it to change keyboard

Thanks! I was caught off guard too.
Long pressing the space bar also does the job. I miss gb where all you do is swipe the spare bar to change languages
Any way to do this automatically "per-application"?
When I'm in terminal emulator I want to use hackers keyboard, but I'm fine with standard in other places (like writting sms).
I feel retarded

I would love to be able to do that. I use chrome as my browser and it does not play nice with swype. When deleting text it skips to the middle of words and sometimes when typing a word it will use the suggestion automatically before I'm even done typing the word.

Here is landscape mode! Portrait is pretty standard

They keyboard is nice but the themes really blow
I HATE this keyboard, worst I've EVER used...
Even when going through the options and changing them the keyboard app tires me...
when typing sms messages it will add words when starting a sentence, predicting what I'm about to type and it's always wrong. Theres no way to remove this.
Also the spelling correction is even worse and will CHANGE words even when their correct, or simple names of places/people it will change it to something different, it's a NIGHTMARE...

Actually there is.. Go into settings, then advanced, then change "space bar will..." to "complete current word" or "always insert a space". I had some problems with it auto-adding words too at first but these settings helped me. So try that if you want
I've been using SwiftKey for a long time now and for me the autocorrection and word prediction is far better than every other keyboard I've tried. And I've tried loads of them.. Just make sure to download and set your correct language packs and set it to learn from your text messages, gmail, Facebook and so on.

esp. if you use a couple of languages to type.
Thumb Keyboard is very good too, you can choose between different themes and layouts and adjust them.

Have to agree. SwiftKey is superb. Just moved over to note from sensation. The mobile version is smooth and quick on the note.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
did you guys notice that the very first keypress after reboot goes silent while every subsequent tap clicks? that annoyed me to no end so i had to switch to another keyboard. or was it just my note?
Is there a way for this app to not use prediction and disable those 3 boxes that shows word choices?
Let me know if it works!
You should see the ticker call screen when you are in any app, and you should see the default "full screen" screen when within the launcher itself...

Works just like it should! Even imported my home screen backup. Did have to un install the pro key and notification plug in and reinstall from the market, but they work fine. Thanks for this!

Hmm alright. o: Just wondering. Do you think you could show us how it's done or is it too complicated? Understandable if it is!
Also they've released a swiftkey flow beta. you should check it out!

Wow! SwiftKey Flow is pretty sweet! Works great, especially for someone like me that can't type to save my life! Kinda memory heavy, but doesn't seem to slow the phone down to much. I do think I'll be using this one! Lol! Thanks!
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda app-developers app
XjokiX7: Lol, it took me a long time to figure out smali, since I didn't want to learn Java first haha... I've said this before though, a good place to start would be looking at, say, the ticker, in action, and then look at the smali files for it... That way, you get a good picture of what smali code does what! Of course, it doesn't help when there's a lot of files for the ticker in services, but you can combat that with common sense and some detective skills
ciscogee: I know this is probably late, but how was moving!
Oh, and to both roaddog665 and XjokiX7, i freaking love Swiftkey Flow, haha I enjoy the "just keep going" feature, with not having to lift your finger up between words it's crazzyyyy!
Oh Oh, I added in a custom section for the Ticker within TSMParts for all the different settings I'm creating... Some option include turning on/off and customizing the Quick Launch screen, changing the sleep text, and what I am working on now is having options to remove/hide the weather icon/history button It's not ready to be released though, i'm just keeping you posted

And, um, where did you find a "just keep going" feature? I missed that one!
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda app-developers app
bahaha, mayybbeee
and you can do it by swiping your word, then DON'T take your finger off of the keyboard and swipe to the space bar... Then, still without lifting a finger, go back up and swipe your next word... It takes some getting used to, but it seems like it's going to be a huge time saver
Haha!! That's good. This phone just keeps getting better and better.
Yeah, that will take some getting used to... But this keyboard is amazing! I've already "flowed" over 100 meters just playing around with it! Lmao!
