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...

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?

Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app

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.

XDA is the best manual you'll find good sir. Lot of useful posts about various tips and tricks.

Oh wow thank you. I don't feel too bad now after spending 9 bucks on the other mentioned app and not being able to bring it over to my new tab.

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'm sure half the English language manuals in the world are produced through the help of Google translate in lieu of actual Englishspeakers.

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.

S not hide toolbars

Hi, telling mathematics lesson with the GT-N8013. S note and the full screen when I use solution. Hide its toolbars. Hide Display settings section can be added? Thank you ...

I can't find any way of doing that on the SNote application, and exporting to some regular movie format isn't possible either as far as i can tell.
Your solution however, is spelled LectureNotes and the plugin lecture recording. But then you won't have the shape and math function, which might be a big minus for you.

Snot can be added to the setup menu button hide and show toolbars?

[Q] backgrounds in the s note

how can i add backgrounds to the s note? when i go to idea note i can see there are backgrounds but i want to add a background of my own.

In the notebook overview, select menu and import (next to add new note). Import a image file or a PDF with your background and select what type of note you want it to be. At least if you select a image file, the image is background for every page you add in that note.

going to test this, thank you

thank you, worked great

Note however, that if you manually change the background in the app for the given note you will lose the background image and I'm not quite sure how to insert it again in a existing note.
Edit: I found that in the new SNote version you can add your own image as a background where you change background by just clicking on the symbol in the upper right corner. The previous way was the only way to do it in the previous version as far as I know though, and since you're asking I assume you still have that on your tablet.

Then you have the precious version, and in that one I don't think there's any way to add a background without adding it as a picture.
You can't update it manually as far as I know, it's just a part of the JellyBean update that you probably soon will get. You can of course search for those kind of updates manually in settings.

A black rectangle with what I suppose should look like a mountain inside. But it's strange if you have another version since this is a UK 8010 as well.

The only icon that looks like that on my snote is the "insert object" one, but that doesnt change the background like you described above... unless I misunderstood what you wrote

Just looked at your post history and it appears our snote build number is different, even though we are both on JB. Mine is running the official ota from the other week, I guess yours is not?

The button doesn't set the background, it's letting you select an image to have as background and of course whether it should be for every page or just the one page you have selected. Mine is opening the gallery or the Dropbox folder, if your doesn't I don't think it's working.
I have the official UK ota from a couple of weeks ago, however I don't think it's necessary the same between regions and especially not if your is 4.1.2 instead of the 4.1.1 I'm running. Other than that, I have no idea why your version aren't the same as mine. But considering how badly mine is working as you might have seen in my previous posts, you have nothing to be envious about

Haha, I'm not sure where else to look for such a setting but It's a good thing you found it anyway!
Speaking of which, what is this small SNote file anyway? If that's the actual update that is causing so much troubles and removing it would be a solution, that can't be to hard even if it's requiring rooting the device?
I agree, that's really annoying and basically enough to make it useless for note taking in class where the tempo is fast. But other than that, the problems with the functions for recognizing different things you draw makes it not as out standing as it once were. It's a good thing there's LectureNotes and that the developer is so active to get things working a 100% and improving the application constantly. I can't wait to get the customizable drawing tools!
By the way, I called the samsung support in Sweden once again and the guy I speaked to today was sure that the only way to get the old SNote back was to do a factory reset after which he was very clear that doing any of the things I mentioned like rooting the device etc will destroy any warranty what so ever. But naah, I'll try again tomorrow, maybe even to the service center.
Anyone that has been more successful in their contact with Samsung? (sorry if this is considered OT)
