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.

Yeah, it used to annoy the s**t out of me too before I found this setting. I'm glad I could help

best keyboard ever.
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.

If thumb keyboard sometime support 2 languages at the sametime it would be the best...

i actually like the ICS keyboard a lot. It has 0 lag.

as does swiftkey

Have to agree. SwiftKey is superb. Just moved over to note from sensation. The mobile version is smooth and quick on the note.

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?

Swiftkey

Is anyone out there using Swiftkey tablet. I use it because of the Dvorak keyboard layout, mainly because the Note doesnt seeem to support keyboard layouts other than Qwerty.
When I type in Swiftkey it seems to be registering multiple keystrokes. This doesnt happen in the stock samsung keyboard or SlideIt

No problems here. Try uninstalling and then re installing

Did you try Polaris Office and S Note.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. Still does it in these two apps.

I'm using SwiftKey without any issues. I've used both Polaris and S Note. Did you try a restart? Could be some sort of magnetic issue that might be resolved that way. Big bummer. Sorry.

I have swiftkey on all my devices except the Note10.1.
Does Swiftkey support big, small hovering and split keyboard like original keyboard ?

It supports big and split, but no hovering.

does using a keyboard other than the stock one still allow you to use the S-pen instead of the keyboard whenever you want to? I know that the stock keyboard has the setting button that you press to select text recognition for using the pen within the browser.

Think it's a common issue but I can't get SwiftKey T to learn from my Gmail.
Anyone else having this problem?? Or have a suggestion.??

I'm using SwiftKey 3, but I've been experiencing a lot of freezing+force closing when using it with Chrome.

Hovering would be nice. It offers all else that I need.

Hi all,
I work for SwiftKey. Please be sure to post bug reports (one at a time) on our public forum at support.swiftkey.net. We also welcome suggestions there. Regarding Droidcarp's note that there appears to be some difficulty with personalization, our Dev Team has been made aware of this report and they are looking into it for you.
Again, our public forum is the best place for suggestions and bug reports. This allows us to streamline the development process so we can continue to make SwiftKey as excellent as possible for you.
Thanks very much,

As long as you dropped in, HWR would be good, too. Sammy offers a hover keyboard and HWR, also. Started using their split keyboard - very nice - and offers HWR.

Any idea how to get the handwriting key to be included?
It is a shame the standard samsung keyboard doesnt support dvorak

Definitely needs handwriting support and the arrow keys like the phone keyboard.
For now it's fine to leave the stock keyboard set on handwriting and use the keyboard switcher in the notifications to switch but it would be useful for it to be integrated.
Also maybe a way to adjust the width, in split mode it seems too wide and I have big hands!

I switched to swift key also from swype today and noticed an echo like effect in snote, working fine in the xda app but broken in the snote app.

My stock Samsung keyboard can no longer provide haptic feedback after installing the SwiftKey tablet, does anyone have the same problem.? I think doesn't matter how you change the settings, and it just doesn't vibrate

Tablet-wide handwriting to text recognition

Coming from a Thinkpad tablet with MyScript Stylus, I'm a bit spoiled.
With that app i could have written anywhere where text input was required and it would be converted to text. Is any app or feature on the Gnote 10.1 that can do that?

Yes you can set the Samsung keyboard to do handwriting recognition for any text field. Hold down the settings button on the left of the spacebar until a "T" pops up. Selecting the T will put it into handwriting recognition mode.

Have a look at my video setting up and demonstrating this type of input method (i think its post #22/32) on the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847817&page=3
There is also a very cheap but very good app on Google play called 7notes that can be used to do this too, if you use their inbuilt notepad app, you can write in cursive and convert to text at a later time or use with any app that requires text input for immediate converting of handwriting to text.

Even on the TPT 7Notes was my go-to HWR app. Extremely good.

I am glad I read this thread. 7NOTES is an awesome app. Thanks again. This is the only thing that was missing on my Galalxy Note 10.1. NOw I have no regrets giving up my ipad (on which I used NOtes Plus app with inbuilt conversion to typed text).

I too love 7notes as I find that it works extremely well with recognising handwriting that even I can't read! Got a few people to try it and they were amazed.
If the 7notes notepad had drawing ability as well, it would always be my no. 1 go-to app as I would sometimes like to preserve my handwriting with drawings and be able to draw anywhere on the screen. They have not updated the app since release which is a bit disappointing.

I know it's been a while since you posted your question, but for anyone that was curious about this, the settings button you're looking for will show either the "T" but most of the time it will show the google voice recognition icon. Sometimes it will show the keyboard icon. You have to long press that button to see the option to switch to handwriting mode, querty, or voice.
I hope this helps someone.

[Q] What is your main software keyboard?

Current betas are included. Pick which third-party keyboard you've chosen as your go-to keyboard.

SwiftKey is the Best
I have tried both Swype and SwiftKey and in my point of view "SwiftKey" is the best.

I use thumb keyboard..its stable and more responsive.. imo..

I use the GO Keyboard. I like the designs and interface as well as the multi language functionality when I need to communicate in Latin to my brethren. It's got swype functionality and it's free too. I've used several keyboards before so I've had a decent spectrum to play with.

SwiftKey is awesome! Their new Flow feature (basically their version of Swype) is great too.

I've Enjoyed Mine!
I used to use as many keyboards I could to test which I like. For a long time I didn't keep a keyboard for a week. I eventually found the keyboard of my dreams (replaced by the stock ICS now)... Jelly Bean Keyboard by VLLWP. I highly recommend it.:good:

Since 4.2 never used any software as it included swype feature.
Before that swype 3
And also used siine keyboard just for fun.

I use Touchpal on my phone and tab. I like the fast switching between languages (I switch a lot between English and Dutch) and between swyping and typing. And the fast way to type numbers and symbols (swyping up on the right key) is a big advantage.

TouchPal is the best.

Smartkeyboard.
I gave so many others the chance, but every other missed features I need.
I need customizable longpress duration, customizable smileys (I even use a smiley key as my mail, meaning it's so much easier to login everywhere) and really important: the whole keyboard must be resizable (because my lcd density on the nexus4 is on 240, wich would mean every keyboard is extremely small).
I also like the arrowkeys in portrait mode and the domainkey (wich I only use for even more shortcut smileys susch as \o/ or ^^ / ^.^)
Oh, and I don't need any prediction, here in switzerland we write in swiss-german, wich doesn't really exist. There is no word prediction or something like that for us.
I get an average kpm of 240-250 with smartkeyboard pro. Once I even got to almost 300

Mine is Swype. The only feature it's missing that I desperately want is a setting for long press duration.

I actually liked SwiftKey Flow, even though everyone hates it.

Keyboards we all need them which works best for you and why. Keyboard discussion and

So in the quest for the best keyboard for me. I know this is a very opinion and preference based. I have tried several different keyboards the one I am currently trying out is flesky. I tried swype touch pal x Samsung keyboard Google keyboard and many others.. So far. Flesky,, is taking some getting used to however its functionality is very unique.. The reason I created this thread was because I was surprised I had never heard of this keyboard. So anyways please your experience with the different keyboards and let me know your favorite and why
