Seems to be the culprit of the lag. Any way of turning this off?
I think that's associated with the "ASUS keyboard". If you make "Android keyboard" the active input method, there's no suggstions.
Settings>language and input>whichever keyboard you are using>settings>word suggestion settings ... uncheck the ones you dont want.
Suggestion can be good sometimes, only when it's names or abbreviated words does it screw up. I wish there was a way to add words that aren't in the suggestion so next time it doesn't mess up.

I thought that's what the "user dictionary" was for? Maybe that's only good for the correction piece.

You can add words to the custom dictionary by long-pressing the word as spelled at the left of the suggestions list when using thumb keyboard. This action didn't seem to work with the ASUS keyboard though.
Turning off the settings in language input options does not help...I still see the suggestions, any work around to keep the suggestions off?
oh--it works whe i turned off asus keyboard after carefully reading the post again----thanks
This is a thread for people testing TouchPal's beta. This is not an "applying for beta" thread, if you don't have it installed, you're in the wrong place.
From my PM, I got the following:

Personally, I'm having some luck emailing Jessica (and got a reply), but also having a lot of bounces. I'll try to get a note through to CooTek that I started this thread.
I'll post my email & reply in a moment.
oops - double posted. sorry.
What I sent earlier today:
Only been playing around 30 minutes, so will try to send a longer one after using a few days, but some quick thoughts:
- I kept typing "This is a test" to see if the keyboard would learn. I know on Swiftkey (which I own) that the first time I type it, it's the default next time (ie, when I type "This" then "is" "a" "test" will all be top suggestions in that order.
On TouchPal, the word "Test" didn't show the first couple times, then it did show on the right, and slowly moved to the left of suggestions - so I think it's learning. I don't know how the settings are, but might need some tweaking.
- With tracing turned on, you obviously can't slide down on letters to get alternate symbols But holding down works just fine. Likewise, with tracing on, you don't get to see the predicted next word until you hit a space.
The problem with that - with tracing keyboards I usually do trace-trace-trace, never hitting the space bar. Spaces are auto-entered. To get the next-word predition, I have to do trace-space (see if the word I want is on the list & if not go back to tracing). I'll have to try this for a few days, but right now it's faster to just trace the next word I want then hit the space & see if the word I want is up there.
On, with tracing on, no idea how to change keyboard layouts.
- Toolbar area, please change the buttons. Make the language one be settings with one click & language with 2 clicks. I don't need another settings button where words will be. Likewise, I don't need a tutorial button there. I do like the middle buttons for cut/copy/arrows. Maybe a button to turn tracing on/off or change layouts?
- Percise mode. One of the BIGGEST things I use in SlideIT is the ABC/Sliding button so I can turn off tracing and go to exact input. Very useful for web page addresses, user name, password, names - anything where you temp. need your exact clicks. Maybe make your TouchPal symbol a toggle to turn this mode on & off.
- Is it me, or is the bottom left A/Book button the same as the Shift button?

Please note that in the example, "a" is followed by "test". There are many possible words after "a", so inputting "a test" for once doesn't necessarily mean you will have "a test" in the next time. If "test" is promoted too fast, this would be a disturbing option. If you try some other combination, such as "This is a quick test", I believe "test" will be immediately promoted after you input "quick".
The problem with that - with tracing keyboards I usually do trace-trace-trace, never hitting the space bar. Spaces are auto-entered.

You do have such a toggle button on the left-bottom-corner with A and a book (indicating dictionary). Is it not obvious enough? Do you have a better suggestion?
My verdict.
I like it but currently swype is better.
Improvements
* the ability to add words to dictionary by manually typing it.
* Auto correct is to sensitive. A slight delay when typing gives you an extra letter. swype is smoother.
* auto capitalisation after fullstop
* symbols done the usual way, its a nice idea but annoying when having to scroll through pages, try to add more on each page.
to be honest i thought i would type this with TouchPal so i could see bugs whilst typing, and I'm starting to like it. autocorrect the only annoyance

As far as I can tell, it already does that. Type a word (no matter whether you are in dictionary mode or not), and next type you are typing it it will suggest the word. Or when swiping it next time, it will also come up.
My comments:
I agree with most of the things that are posted here. I had one crash of touchpal today, it occured while i tapped and hold the backspace key to get rid of a few lines of text. Touchpal closed and didn't give me an option to send a crash log, unfortunately. Tried it a few times more, and sometimes when "backspacing" a lot of text, it will crash. Pretty reproducible.
I just don't completely understand the dictionary button, I don't find a difference in behavior whether it's turned on or off?
And when clicking a word (that was a mistake), it would be neat if other suggestions would come up so you can easily correct it, like swype does.
Thusfar, I think SlideIT (my normal keyboard) is better. My big thing is wanting the next word suggestion but I can't see an easy way of doing it and suggesting fixes for the Slide.
My only thought so far would be to split the suggestion line and make the first 2-3 suggestions fixes for the current word and then the next 2-3 words suggestions for the next word. Color code them so you know which are which.
I suppose you could also do two lines and let the user decide which one or both they want to see.
I will keep this one as my default for at least a week to see how it goes. I've found some other differences that would require adjustment. Spacing particularly going from single taps to tracing and back seems to be a bit inconsistent.
For a beta version, it's running pretty smooth. Suggestions and improvements can always be added
I was trying to type 'sim' today and it absolutely would not let me. When I hit the s key, it typed an a. No amount of tweaking would work. If I managed to get the s to work, I'd type an i and then tried to type the m, but it automatically inserted 'sin', and would not let me type 'sim'. Very frustrating.
Plus, there is a typo - I can't find it now, but somewhere the word 'editing' is misspelled 'editting' (two t's).
That reminds me - any way to remove a word entered by accident?
This app makes me miss Ultra Keyboard, wonder how he's doing. That was the one that tried to cram in every dang option from every keyboard out there. I seem to remember that the tracing was pretty bad at getting the correct word, but sure had a lot of options. Don't think it had next word prediction though.
This is my review I posted on reddit
Here is my review after ~1 hour of playing with it
I know I can come off as bashing this, but I'm not. I'm just giving my honest, personnal impression of this beta. I'll also be comparing it to swype only since it's its main competitor
PROS
- The install was flawless (no registration or anything for now). Swype is annoying for this, particularly when it fails to generate license or w/e. Flashing new roms regularly on my phone, I've had a good share of failed installs of swype. Pain in the ass to remove as it's usually a system app (not uninstallable without Root explorer/Titanium Backup/etc.)
- I haven't seen crashes/bugs
- It has been fully responsive without a hint of slowdown unlike swype (sometimes I get a slight lag on swype)
CONS
- I couldn't find the "blank keyboard" shown in the video. I'm thinking it was just a way for them to show you can type blind with the keyboard
- The predictions are pretty bad for short words (2-4 letters). Swype is also not so great at this, but usually better
- The default dictionary seems like it needs much more training than swype. I frequently flash new roms on my phone and usually I barely have to train swype to get to a satisfactory level when typing. This wasn't the case. I'd say swype predicts correctly about 70-80% of my words out of the box while Touchpal is probably around 50-70%.
SWYPE VS TOUCHPAL
Here is some unscientific tests I did with a few sentences with both keyboards out of the box. Using "swype" method and not tapping amongst the suggestions (letting the keyboard pick its best guess)
"Why are you so mad?"
* TOUCHPAL: Whiff ate youtube sop mad?
* SWYPE: Why are you so mad?
"Reddit is the place to be"
* TOUCHPAL: Reaffirm its the place to be
* SWYPE: Freddie is the place to be
"This is a test of an android keyboard"
* TOUCHPAL: This its the testy of android keyboard
* SWYPE: This is a test of an android keyboard
"Let's do one more test for Reddit"
* TOUCHPAL: Lewis dull one mower test for restitution
* SWYPE: Let's do over more test for refit
TL;DR
Promising but swype still far "better". I'm hoping for improvement as I hate Swype installation.
i agree with what you say, TouchPals correction is poor, tries too hard to find what you're trying to say, shouldn't try to lengthen words, just ends up guessing words that begin around where you started. its a good idea but flawed by its predictions. shouldn't go longer than amount of letters you stopped on
Swyped from my MIUI Galaxy S II
Quick questions:
Is it me or with tracing on, is there a way to quickly change keyboard layouts (from full keys to TouchPal+ to T9)?
Is there a way to do tracing while in TouchPal+ mode (2 letters per key)?
After using this for a while, I agree with a lot of the comments here.
1. The auto-correction is too sensitive. Always giving me words that I am NOT often using even as I swype over and over again.
2. I cannot seem to swype words like "Haha" "Hehe" "Lol". Can't even seem to add them to dictionary. It never seems to learn that I like to use those words often.
3. I set my Keyboard Layout in Portrait to FULL QWERTY. When I am on an active telephone call and I want to use the keyboard, it will auto switch to 12-Key PhonePad for me.
So for now, I am still sticking to Swype app. =) Oh I hope there's a quick way to tap the to have a smiley inserted immediately rather than tapping that Smiley > Going into a Smiley Menu > Tap a Smiley. Swype can do it it in one tap of a button.
Currently reinstalling after a reflash earlier but i've got to say what stood out the most (negative) was the desire to lengthen words. I understand that its a great feature to type "ackn" and get "acknowledge" but so many times i'm trying to write something simple and the first suggestion will always be much longer and obscure (can't remember the one earlier for "hey").
Maybe some sort of gesture to let the keyboard know you're trying to write a longer word using less keystrokes? I don't know how many words start with double letters, maybe a quick double tap on the first letter before sliding? Trying to think of situations where that would be worse than what we're experiencing.
Given that this is a phone/tablet keyboard and most users right now are on phones using this for texting and/or quicker e-mails, I think you are more likely to see people simplifying their speech automatically rather than trying to swype a really long word like "got it" instead of "acknowledge"
Will post more meaningful thoughts when I get a chacne to play with it some more
2 things that really bug me:
- not able to correct a word when i tap on it. have to delete the whole word and re-swipe it.
- not able to input custom words.
yeah.. tried to send feedback via the email they gave and it bounced back twice. :l
TouchPal, it was doing great until it comes to learning new words. The promotion system sucks as the word I really use often move very slowly to the blue recommendation box. For those who are fast typist, use super simplified words, this app is not meant for you. Its a damn slow learner. But can be fixed if they implement SMS learning in it. Plus, if I edit some existing word, it will just create another new word, without taking the existed word into account. Even if I just want to add an -es into it.

thanks for adding me to the beta team.
i could use it for daily use if the german dict would also be released. so i only can test a few sentence because i only use english 5% of my typings.
a must have for me also is a configurable smiley button. want to change some smilies.
the thing i also miss is: when typing some words, and you want to correct a word typed 3 words before, that you put the cursor somewhere into the word and get the correction list as in smartkeyboard pro.
i would also like to see the cursor arrows all the time like in smartkeyboard pro. optionally.

I'd like to add this in case any Epic 4G users happen to read. I found that TouchPal affected my hardware keyboard by making the 'fn' and 'shift' keys lose their functionality. I was unable to capitalize letters and make symbols with it. Was fine before I installed TouchPal, and it was fixed after I uninstalled TouchPal. Tried re-installing it several times to see if it was just a mishap, but after 6 times the problem was always there.
Current build is Froyo 2.2.1, [EC05]SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2, Twilight 1.1.1 Kernel.
Other than that, some very nice features. Love the up/down slide on keys for capital letter/number/symbol shortcut. Would love if a future version had full text shortcuts when pressing they key and scrolling up, down, left or right. For now though, no go. I need my slide-down keyboard :3
[UPDATE 8/29]: TouchPal V4.8 Beta2 has been newly released! To update the new version, please download the new apk from the original link and install this new version after unintalling beta1.
We did the following updates:
1. Support slide-down symbols when enabling Curve. Show up commonly used punctuations in last row.
2. Support “Touch to reselect” feature. The user could Curve all the words and goes back to reselect candidates by “simple click and choose touch to edit” or “double click”.
3. Optimize symbol view to full QWERTY.
4. Improve the precision of Curve recognition.
5. Support smart spacing. Now we add space after each word candidate.
6. Allow to install TouchPal main program to SD card.
7. Support 10+ languages.
8. Fix other bugs.
Thank you all for your great feedback on Beta1! We will listen to your feedback and keep improving!
(If you want to apply for beta testing, please click on this thread)
Up to now, we have received thousands of beta testing requests. We have been sending the beta version since last Friday. Thank you so much for your great support!
FYI, we are currently working on an updated beta (beta 2) based on the first round user feedback. Hopefully it will be done in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned.
If you have any feedback, you may also reply here in this thread.
FAQ:
1. How to extract and install the beta apk?
You need to extract the downloaded zip file on a PC using compression tools such as 7zip with the unzip password we sent to you. Then copy the extracted .apk to your phone’s SD card. Run the .apk file on your phone to install the keyboard. Then enable it in the Settings->Locale & Keyboard.
2. Why can’t I use TouchPal Curve, while the predictive dictionary works fine?
You may need to enable Curve in settings first. Or when you go through the tutorial, Curve will be enabled by default.
3. How to get double letters in TouchPal Curve, e.g. “happy”?
You can slide over the letter only once, and our prediction engine is smart enough to figure out the potential double letters. NO need to draw tiny circles on a letter like you did in Swype. For example, if you want to get the word “happy”, you can slide over letters “h,a,p,y”, and then you will get “happy”.
4. If I didn’t get my desired word after sliding, can I double click to edit it, like what Swype does?
We will add “touch to edit” function in beta 2 to improve this experience.
5. TouchPal Curve is good for long words. But for shorter words, why it often gives me wrong suggestions?
This is a known issue and we are working on a fix.
6. Can the keyboard be a bit larger, and how to close the toolbar?
You can enable “Enlarge keyboard height” or disable “function bar” in TouchPal Setting>>Keyboard layout. And we will improve our keyboard layout in future releases.
7. It is annoying to have to go into settings every time to toggle Curve.
We will design a shortcut to conveniently toggle Curve in the next beta version.
8. What’s the blue “A-book” button on the left bottom for?
This is for enabling/disabling the predictive input. Once disabled, it will be in precise mode.
9. Why some buttons don't work when using hard keyboard?
Because Droid X doesn’t support the ALT and CTRL button in hard keyboard, and we are trying to fix this problem.
10. Can't I "swipe" punctuation in Curve-mode?
We plan to adjust our keyboard to allow to swipe punctuation in next beta version. Currently, you can long-press to get the punctuations.
11. Can I customize my tools panel or change skin?
The tools panel can be disabled in Settings. This version doesn’t support skin. It would be supported in the future.
12. Why I can't hide keyboard like in demo?
It's a special feature for demo to prove you can blindtype, and it's not in the release version.
13. When will the next beta be delivered and when will be possible to test others languages?
We will deliver our next beta in a few weeks later and other languages will be supported in the official release.
14. How can I add my user words to the dictionary?
Our keyboard is smart enough to remember user words after you type them several times and will predict when you are sliding.
15. What is the latest version?
The latest official version is v4.7.6. The beta version is v4.8.x, which is a new version with more wonderful functions we plan to promote.
16. Why I don't receive any responses from TouchPal?
Because some members suggested that our thanks replies would disturb this thread, I click the thanks button instead of replying to everyone. But I have delivered all of your suggestions to our developers.
16. Where can I download the language packs?
I have corrected the download links. You can go to this thread to find language pack links.
17. Why only three bottom row of symbols is visible?
It's a feature not a bug. We just show up commonly used punctuations in last row to support slide-down symbols when enabling Curve.
Besides TouchPal Keyboard, TouchPal Dialer is another app that helps you find contacts quicky in T9 keypad, display caller location, and much more. Search "TouchPal Dialer" in Andorid market and it is free!

This new keyboard is stupidly fast and accurate. I love the interface and the simplicity of the layout. Awesome so far!!!! I will give it a go on my tablet a bit later and see how it fairs. Very clean and no lag as of yet.
Dev, good job!
I was using touchpal keyboard for some time(the previous version), and I see a lot improovements both on user interface and usability. It is the best keyboard I've tried so far.
Unfortunately it is unusable for me, because of language support.
So, I'm waiting for greek language support
P.S
If you want a translation to greek, PM me the resource files.
12. How much will Touchpal be after the beta period?
I don't want to use it and get hooked and then find out the final version will be $10.

Really enjoying using this keyboard. But, a touch to correct feature (a bit like the stock Android keyboard and like Swype) would be a great addition.
Also, how will the next beta be delivered? I noticed there is a check for updates option in the settings. Will we use that? And finally, any idea on timeline?
Please add auto spacing for continuous "swiping."
Sent from my Incredible S using Tapatalk
Two minor quirks I have noticed.
1.) When I am replying to a text message, it will not auto-capitalize the first letter.
2.) When I hit the paragraph button and then start a new sentence it will occasionally capitalize the first letter of the first two words and then transcribe normally.
Would love the option to disable the auto-correct when space is hit. I like to have the words and corrections on the bar as suggestions, but the ability to not have them auto selected whenever I hit space.
Love the keyboard so far, I have submitted multiple feedback bug report emails per the initial request.
I would like to try the beta please.

I have a few questions
1. My main keyboard has been SlideiT. IMO it has been the best one for me. One thing I really like about that keyboard that I can't seem to get in this one is adding words to the dictionary. With SlideiT, I can type out my different email addresses and then add it to my library. So when I need to type them out I just slide over the first 3 or 4 letters and select the proper address. Can this keyboard do that?
2. When I try and slide my wife's name (Mandy) it always changes the keyboard. It's going from M to A.
I would like to see a better tutorial video explaining all the details of the keyboard.
Thanks
+1 on the tap a word for options. When it gets it wrong and auto-correct puts the wrong word in it is extremely useful in other keyboards to tap the word and get similar options.
I also wish there was a "compact view" similar to the expanded view in portrait mode which would crunch it all down a bit. The regular view takes up more than 50% of the screen, which is way too big to text inline effectively and see a few texts above the current one you are on.
Also the send button on the bottom seems unnecessary.
great speed and accuracy for the most part, just some small tweaks that break the flow and make it a bit of an adjustment
In the video, you used a blank canvas as a keyboard. I desperately want that feature, but can't find it any where. That's the only reason i wanted to try this keyboard in the first place. If there isn't one, back to swype.
Epic keyboard
My gripes are: that it needs better word learning, i want to configure the keyboard as i type my ebonics and slang instead of writing it out over and over.
Better swyping accuracy. Why cnt i just type the letters of a word in no particular order and have the keyboard pick up the word im trying to say. Swype does it.
Also it needs a broader word dictionary for easier corrections

I tested the keyboard on my viewsonic g tablet and noticed that when I swipe the path doesn't follow the letters, all the letters I seem to go through draw a path out to beyond the bottom right of the screen, so after I type it loks like a spiralgraph. Secondly, when I try the voice to text, it launches the voice yo text but it doesn't exit and enter the word after I stop speaking.

Question about settings for the stock samsung keyboard...
I'm using the stock rom (rooted) and the stock samsung keyboard.
I like having the phone offer up suggestions for words I'm typing in, but I DON'T like to have the phone auto correct my actual typing. I want to select a suggested word myself or use the one I typed the way I typed it if I don't physically select a suggestion.
However, the way it is now, if predictive text is on, the phone wants to auto correct my typing... such that if I want to use a word the way I typed it, I have to select it to override the one the phone picked as the predicted text.
Is there a way to keep the suggestions but turn off the auto correct? The only option I saw was to turn off predictive text and that turns everything off so that you don't even get any suggestions.
Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

I love this phone but [email protected] the stock keyboard is horrible (to me). When I misspell a word and backspace to correct a letter or more it fills in with a whole other word on top of the letters that I didn't delete. It's not very friendly when it comes to quick typing simply because it is always replacing my words, correctly spelled and all, with their own suggestion.

Hi Everyone!
I use a Lenovo Yoga tablet, and struggled for a while with the keyboards made for smartphones. Every time I had to write a character with an accent (éáóúöüőűí) I had to hold the key, and wait for the alternative characters to appear. They didn't really help with coding either, so I tried the Hacker's Keyboard. It was quite good, but if we can have the whole PC keyboard on screen with all the modifier buttons, why not use its potential and add hotkeys? This is how Clavis Keyboard was born.
Clavis Keyboard is a PC-like keyboard for tablets, with numerous hotkeys.
Features:
-Familiar: The keys are where you'd expect them to be
-Well-known hotkeys: Copy-paste-cut and select all work like on PC
-New hotkeys: Search for selected text on Google (Ctrl+G)
Open a new e-mail, paste selected text (Ctrl+M)
Insert text macro 0-9 (Ctrl+Shift+Number)
Change the first letter of the last word before the cursor from lowercase to uppercase or back (Ctrl+I)
Home (Ctrl+Left arrow)
End (Ctrl+Right arrow)
-Themes: There are numerous themes already, but I'm planning on adding much more.
-Layouts: US, GB, DE, FR, IT, BE, HU
I welcome any questions, advices, requests and ideas regarding Clavis!

This looks really good, and I'm excited to test it a bit more when I get the chance. I did notice a few things:
I'm on Lollipop (CM12.1, on a Nook HD+), and the initial setup was a bit of a pain. After enabling the keyboard, step 1 of 3, nothing happened. I had to back out of the settings and manually progress to the next steps (selecting the keyboard to use). Not sure where the issue lies, but other keyboards have set up properly.
Settings -> Language & Input -> tapping Clavis Keyboard Free (to open Options) gives an error: "Failed to open settings for Clavis Keyboard Free"
Behavior settings have untranslated group headings, and one option ("Gyors pont Pontot ir ha duplan koppintasz a szokozre")

This looks really good, and I'm excited to test it a bit more when I get the chance. I did notice a few things:
I'm on Lollipop (CM12.1, on a Nook HD+), and the initial setup was a bit of a pain. After enabling the keyboard, step 1 of 3, nothing happened. I had to back out of the settings and manually progress to the next steps (selecting the keyboard to use). Not sure where the issue lies, but other keyboards have set up properly.
Settings -> Language & Input -> tapping Clavis Keyboard Free (to open Options) gives an error: "Failed to open settings for Clavis Keyboard Free"

Thanks for the feedback!
The setup is new and actually worked when I made it, but it seems I managed to mess up the code just before release
I'll patch these very soon.
Its me again, been using it a bit more and i do like it, especially that you can adjust the height on screen. Have a bug, a question, and a suggestion.
auto uppercase doesnt seem to be working, from the start of text entry and also after a period. ive tried disabling and reenabling it, and still no go.
Is auto correct disabled, or just not implemented?
Can you add an option to adjust the key repeat delay?
Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Hi, does it have polish letters?
like the keyboard, and I tried on phone, but it is too small, in my opinion. can you optimize for phone as well
Yeah thanks a lot, and thanks for IT Layout!

Autocorrect is not yet implemented. First I want to fix the known bugs, but I will definitely include it later on
I'll take a look, and will tell you what I could do about the key repeat delay and the auto uppercase.

Sadly not yet. I plan to add the spanish and the portugese layouts next, and then hopefully the polish. Problem is, I got no friends who could translate the scripts for me, so it'll certainly take some time :/

Well I made it especially for tablets, but you can try to increase the height and use it in landscape. Maybe later on I'll come up with something to make it more comfortable, but right now it's not my primary goal. Sorry
testing the new keyboard. doesnt seem to have any auto correct?
May I help in adding Hebrew characters layout?
If so, how?
Here's how a standard Hebrew keyboard looks like:
http://store.aramedia.com/shopimages/products/normal/kb-hebrewwhite.jpg
Do note, that since Hebrew is a right-to-left language (like Arabic), it has weird behavior on some keyboards, like putting "(" instead of ")" . I really hate it, and would be happy to have the option to disable this behavior (it even happens on Windows OS , but somehow only on some apps).
Since Hebrew doesn't have uppercase letters, when pressing SHIFT or CAPS-LOCK, it just writes in English. However, on Android, those keys are gone, and you can long click on any key to have the alternative being written on it.
Attached how it looks like on various Android keyboards apps.
Please, make a pt-br layout... You idea is great
Good idea! Great keyboard.

Thanks for your offer!
Hebrew keyboard seems interesting, so I'll gladly make it after the planned layouts.

Thanks. I don't know how much effort does it need as I'm really busy right now, but maybe I could help you a bit... However I have no knowledge in programming coding or development....

You wouldn't have to code or anything, just translate a few lines from English to Polish.
By the way I've just finished the Polish layout. It will be included in the next version (without translation for now).
