[Q] Help on locating/editing Android dictionary. - General Questions and Answers

Is there any way to do this? I have looked all over the phone for a way to do this but I can't seem to find it. I would really like to add my own autocorrect words and such to the dictionary or whatever file it is that autocorrects come from. I know Smart Keyboard has this feature and it is super easy to use but I am having many issues with it, especially when I spell out a word that is in the autocorrect list in completion, it will assume I don't want the word, but another word with more letters.
i.e. "Adam" when typed out in completion will not stay on Adam, it will think I want "Adams", even if "Adam" is in my dictionary.
Any ideas/help?
If it matters that much, I have a Sprint Nexus S 4G that is running CM7 (stable). Thanks!

Best touch screen keyboard with learning feature?

I have the Verizon version of the HTC Touch (VX6900). I have tried many keyboards including Zoomboard, HTC Diamond keyboard, Spb Full Screen Keyboard, PCM Keyboard, etc.
Can you suggest a keyboard that "learns" frequent words that you type and suggests them in the future so you can just hit the space bar to type out the word for you? For me I use the same words a lot and I would really benefit from that.
I know there are keyboards that suggest a word as you're typing it like if you start typing "thi" it will show you "thing" or something like that. I actually want a keyboard that will learn words that I type frequently and will suggest that word in future context.
For example if I type "I love that game", the next time I type "I", it will suggest "love" for my next word, then "that" after, etc. Before I updated to Windows Mobile 6.1, my keyboard actually used to do this, and I don't know which one installed that triggered this.
If I would type a word that I typed in the past then it would show the next word that I typed in the past next to it in a shadow color and I would just be able to hit the space bar to autocomplete that word. Does anybody know which keyboard that is? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Resco Keyboard - Touchpal 3.0
It will suggest words if you want and you can turn it off. It also allows you to change the format from one with multiple letters on one key to one letter per key.
Pretty good software.

Thanks for the reply but unfortunately I have tried both of those and they don't do what I am looking for. I am looking for a keyboard that will not only suggest words but will learn words and sequences of words that I've used in the past.
Before I updated to Windows Mobile 6.1 it was doing this. I have a feeling it was from a keyboard that I installed but I can't identify which one it was.
For example, let's say I sent a text message to a friend that said "Dude, did you see that Chargers game on Sunday?". Then if I forgot to send it to another friend I can start a new text message and as soon as I type "Dude", it will suggest "did" as my next word, then "you" as the next word after that, then "see" after that and so forth. The next word in line would show up as shadowed grey text and I would just keep pressing the space bar to add those words to my text message automatically.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks!
Touchpal does this, you can even set the priority of new words it learns. Best SIP IMO.

Hmm, it still isn't doing what I want it to do unless I'm doing something wrong. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
It was installing the extra keyboards which removed this feature. I use block recognizer, and before I tried out a load of different SIP's, WM6.1 did this. I seem to recall that WM5 and WM6 did as well.
The TouchPAL DOES do that I dont know whats wrong with your phone. It is absolutely everything anyone would want or need in a keyboard IMO lol
I think what you asked is just the standard function from the simplest default microsoft keyboard comes with the original OS. Maybe you need to enable & customize it on Start >> Settings >> Personal >> Input.
By the way, the 'Gesture' function is another very useful character of the default ms keyboard. The gesture is used in this way: You need to silde your stylus, starting from the key you want and ending at the nabourgh key. Example: Slide stylus from s to w key, it will come up with capital S, s to a = backspace, s to d = space, s to x = enter, while only tap on s is just an letter s. Very useful function.
Edit: Please also refer to this thread:

Best English Input Method Needed (i780)

Hi there,
I am new to Samsung i780, what is the best English input method on it? Some intellegent input method can try to derive the word by what you have entered. For example, if you have inputted "inp", it will prompt something like "input". Where can I find them? Better it is free
Thanks a lot!
Hi. For me, the best input method so far, is Cootek Touchpal. As you have mentioned, it predicts what you're trying to type, making corrections and adding words to dictionary extremely easy, no switching layouts if trying to enter anything not on the main keyboard, it even tries to predict the next word you might want to use, and many many more features. But it's not free. But not expensive either.
If really looking for free, check out HTC Easy Input, available on this website...
If you want querty layout with individual keys, then you also might want to check out pcm keyboard (free, google it), or (not free) SPB keyboard or resco keyboard.
Hope this helps.

Hi Damac,
Thank you for so detail introduction!
If my phone(i780) has a real qwerty keyborad already, which input method might fit best?

HTC xT9 question

Hello,
I have a Diamond, and I usually don't use T9 so I'm sorry if this seems stupid. On my old rom, it would correct small spelling errors when I made them. However, it would ALWAYS give me at least one 'suggestion' option of what I actually typed. That was nice, if i wanted to write something outside the dictionary or purposefully misspell something, it was always an option. 6.5 rom, btw.
Now, on a new 6.5.x, it doesnt do that. Say, for example, I type in "bbb". It won't give me that exact text as an option, and wont let it be added to the dictionary (no + symbol or anything). So I'd have to switch back to ABC to type that in.
Did T9 change, did I goof up a setting?

Android like texting for HD2?

Is there a cab or a tweak that has android like typing for the HD2. When I had my htc tmobile G1 it would automatically capitalize the "i" while im texting and also automatically add the apostophes where they should be. if there is something like this available please direct me to the right link. Thanks guys. HD67
Turning on T9 does that... what keyboard are u using?
well the t9 sorta does the job but the android OS always auto capitalized the beginning of sentences even when I'm typing on the message board. And whenever i typed in "i" in a sentence, it would auto capitalize that also

Dictionary???

Is there any users dictionary I can import, specifically to TouchPAL keyboard? Their dictionary blows donkey and makes the most common errors and corrects the right words into wrong ones when I'm typing. So I was wondering if theres a specific dictionary I could import into TouchPAL Keyboard to fix this, I LOVE the keyboards layout but it's stupid commonly mistakenly correcting the right words into wrong ones is driving me batty.
FYI Turning off spell check does no good also.
No answers really?
