I've tried dozens of keyboards but always end up landing on Perfect Keyboard Pro as my default. Its T9 key and voice key are appropriately placed, and its basic, yet customizable layout is superb!
There is but one little annoyance. It seems to come preloaded with dictionary words that I can't delete.
For example, if I type the word after, then AfterDawn pops up as a suggested word (as much as I like AfterDawn, I just don't type it enough for it to be in my dictionary). Another example would be if I type the word only, I get Molybdenum as a suggestion (I had to look that word up).
These suggestions are not in the stock dictionary, and don't pop up as suggestions in any other keyboard I install, so it must be exclusive to PKP.
Tried emailing you at [email protected] but no response, has anybody had any luck with this app's user dictionary?

Hello,
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this problem. Searched but not able to find posts on it.
On my Hermes when typing a contact name in the To: field either in an email or SMS it would match up what you entered to the contacts in the address book. Great function.
On my Touch Pro it seems to work in a similar fashion until you type Space. When you type space it automatically fills the To: Field with what was showing up as the match at the time. e.g. When looking for "Jo Bloggs" - Typing in "Jo" would bring up Joe Smith and if I hit space it'll automatically fill in the field with Joe Smith's details.
I've switch off all of the autocompletion stuff in the options and taken of the T9 stuff.
Any help would be much appreciated.

-----------------------------------
Edit - You can switch on the T9 in the recipient field independently to main body of SMS/Email. Solves the problem but doesn't quite work the same as how it did in WM6 Pro and WM5.
Anyway - this is a minor issue but would like to hear if anyone else has experienced this.
---------------------------------
Edit - erghhh... now the T9 is kicking and suggesting words instead of names, which is what it's supposed to do, but doesn't help with filling in the Recipient field. Will carry on fiddling.
Hey,
This is exactly the problem I've been having. I list my contacts in groups (for example, people from my uni have UU in front of their names so I have a quick clear overview of everyone) but now whenever I type "UU" followed by a space it autocompletes it to the first person. Ive tried turning off all the options but no luck. This worked so well when I had the Tytn (or Mda vario II). Help would sure be appreciated! Thanks!

Not sure if this is a huge help, but I've get a lot of Jeff's in my contacts for work. I just type in Jeff and 1 name is shown at the bottom, but if I stop and don't hit space (which is goofy in my opinion) I can press the left or right arrow and it toggles between the Jeff's that are in my list, then press the great space key option and that person is populated.
Not sure if that helps, especially if you are clicking through 50 in that manner, but it works for my smaller lists.
Can definately flick through the contacts as described but previously on my Hermes I was able to type in a First, Surname or full name and it would match exactly the contact that I wanted. Very nifty - so it's annoying that it doesn't work quite the same in WM6.1
Currently, I'm typing the name, then hitting delete allows me to continue when I hit space... not quite the same but is a compromise at the moment.
Good to know that it's not peculiar to my device.
I'd love to be able to assign a different default keyboard to different programs. For instance I'd like to have the swype keyboard automatically load when I'm using email, but the Full Qwerty keyboard when I'm using my Drug Guide. (the drug guide has thousands of words that would be impossible to load to the swype dictionary)
Just a thought. Maybe someone with the skills will be intrigued enough to work on it.
After discovering a lot of great features on my rooted E900, a new question made me using search function, but with not much help! So: is there any tweak in registry to change keyboard from full querty to keypad (like the physical keyboard from old phones, 1 to 9 with * and # and pressing three times on two for ex to write C letter) when you write a text message or text a web adress? I find this more handy when I'm driving, because with all that small letters from full querty is more dificult. Thanks in advance, and hope there is a solution, because when you write a number in the sms recipient, that keyboard appears.
I'm trying to think of a polite way to say this, and the best I've come up with is that, while I don't care terribly much about *your* car, I'm sufficiently concerned about the random people around you that the thought of making it easier to use your phone while driving is not even slightly appealing (for the record, it's illegal here, and for good reason).
For the record, I'm not so irresponsible so that I'm texting sms and driving, especially since I have a small baby in the backseat. When I PULL OVER and try to text something, the sunlight makes it harder to see the small buttons and I always hit the wrong button. I have pretty big fingers and that's why I want to use such a keypad.
And no offence, but I will never come to Seatle, only if I will win lottery and want to meet you personally, so don't be concerned.
The question still stays. Thank you
Please... Can someone help me with keypad?
Do any one has found a way to get the froyo (spell check for second language feature ?)
Or a way to change the spell checking from whatever language is in settings without having to go settings --> input --> spell check --> navigate trough list of languages ?
I tough of adding 140k french words and 100k Spanish words to the custom dict using UDM app but didn't work... the spell checker insist in using its own dict and ignore my custom.
This problem is magnified with the use of the bloody dock keyboard which was the single reason i bought the TF700 (which is on ebay for sale ATM)
I remember the times when Linux meant freedom and flexibility... JB is an Ugly unfinished IOs rip off (and that's in a good day)

The problem your encountering is not a "JB" issue. Rather, it is the fact that the TF700 (and ASUS in general) uses a proprietary subsystem called XT9 (produced by a company called 'Nuance'). For this reason, we cannot create new keyboard layouts nor add more languages. I've been investigating this in my spare time and, though there are some hacks you can do for some modified functionality, the extent you are wanting requires information that is just not available.
Hope this at least gives you a better idea of what the problem is.
Alien, thanks for your reply,
Maybe some of my problems come from the TF but the second language spell check is a feature last since ICS, that was the reason I sold my SG3 after three days.
I use a qwerty layout on all my hardware and my Desire HD2 for example is set to English and second language French.
I still miss spanish but it being my mother language i tend not make many mistakes on it.
There is a Bug report for Android about it http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22707
The problem is that they split the system Spell checker and now we realy a lot on the keyboard used and its suggestions, evidently that magnifies the problem on a Docked Asus TF but it is general to Android.
I think sadly that this is going the wrong way, like the bar not being hidable, or the gmail app not allowing to remove the conversation view... Google is trying to force on users theyir way of what is better for you just as Apple does.
even more Sadly Ubuntu and Unity are taking the same path. (I.E Unity top bar cant be hidden, at least they had the tought of putting it on top, as on android every time i try the OSK on the asus instead of space i hit the bar andallmywordslooklikethis)).

I understand your meaning as I am multilingual myself and Android isn't as versatile as I would like. I'm merely saying that everything that is entered via the dock on your TF700 is handled by the subsystem and not by Android directly. Anything that is entered via "ASUS Keyboard" is available for spell-check in the keyboard language that is selected. Just try opening SuperNote and typing in something like "Eu sou um americano Je suis un américain Yo soy un americano Ich bin eine Amerikaner" then setup your ASUS Keyboard for French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German. While in Supernote, press Left-Control+Left-Shift to bring up the keyboard list, and select a different language. When you change the contents (like add a space at the end) you can see it reparse everything and highlight words that are not known in the selected keyboard language. It's not 100% perfect but it should at least give you a bit of flexibility.
Edit: For clarification, no I don't speak/write in French, German, or Spanish. They were just thrown in for elaborating the test.
Thanks Alien, didn't knew about the CTRL ALT thing, however I did the rational thing... Sold the Asus and got an Ipad after all i only need to do note taking on the go, boor reader and emails and sadly the bloody ipad handles those very well...
BTW: I had removed Super notes after it crashed on me and made me loose a lot of text i had entered, i was using another note app free from the market that did less but did well.
I dont know if im getting older or what but my frustration trying to get the most of my screen while reading books and coherent margins and stuff while my wife laugthed at me reading the same book from her ipad got to me.
Now trying to jailbreak the thing so i can brick it lol...
PS: With a BT apple KB, command space swaps the language im writing in seamless like with the on screen keyboard and the spell check works, thou auto caps not...
Well, now that you have opened this thread, please have a look at what I want to say.
I am new to HTC Sensation and I have tried some apps which claim to add words from text file to Custom Dictionary. But there are some devices on which it does not work, and, unfortunately this does not work on Sensation either. So, I am having idea of an app which does the task in a new way:
All it should do is to 'read' words one by one from our given text file and then 'type' it in a text editor like New Message. But before it presses 'space', it should touch the first suggestion given above the keyboard. First suggestion is always the word that we originally type, no matter whether it is in dictionary or not. Touching it will add the word to dictionary. I believe that this is easier to apply as this is a manual method and does not require editing database file.
Second method (a bit more technical):
Open given text in a text editor like New Message or New Gmail email (gmail, because it also underlines words which are not in dictionary and supports big number of words). Then touch every word one by one. If a pop-up menu appears on a word then it must select the 'second-last' option. This is 'add to dictionary' button.
I am not a developer, if I were, I would have made this app myself. So I can only give theory.
If this can be applied, it can be useful for many users who use transliteration method to type in their languages.
