[FAQ] TouchPal Keyboard Beta Test(Updating……)

[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!
Again, sincere thanks from TouchPal team!

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.

No, that won't be the case. You'll get a good surprise after it's released.

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.

[dev] suggestion for keyboard

Hello XDA Developers,
I just giving an idea here for any devs interested.
Why not making a android keyboard that have this functions.
1) I think letter placement customization is cool and i don't know there are other keyboard that let the user customize the placement of the letters [if there is, please point out to me because there are many keyboard apps in Play Store and i don't manage to try them all].
2) Theme is not very important from my point of view, make the keyboard look fancy with glossy color is ok. maybe let the user customize the color of the keyboard buttons also nice since the users do not need any theme.
3) Phone keyboard and QWERTY keyboard function. For most people with large screen does not has problems with QWERTY keyboard but for small screen devices there are. There are only some keyboard that gives Phone keyboard functionality and I love Phone keyboard because I love to message single handed.
Well, and also other things that many functions included in other keyboards in Play Store like swipe, dictionary, etc. etc. etc....
If anyone wants to add something here in this thread, feel free.

[Q] What Android Keyboard Do You Use?

Personally I use Google Keyboard, it works great and looks great.. but am I missing out?

Give SwiftKey a try. Besides having fantastic prediction and learning, the ability to add arrow keys and a number row make it far more accessible and easy to use.

My #1 Choice: TouchPal X
Why? TouchPal X has a lot of options such as the ability to resize how much room it takes up on the screen, both vertically and horizontally and the feature that gives a little bar below the T9 area/settings button etc area that gets higher the faster you type. Themes not so much on this one. It only has Woods, and 2 others last I checked.
If not #1, my #2 choice: GO Keyboard 2015
Why? There are tons of different developers making themes almost all the time. Although if you want to see how fast you are typing I'd go with above.

TouchPal

I use Multiling O Keyboard. I like it because it is highly customizable (colors, themes, layouts, size, etc.) and it doesn't use much RAM compared to other ones (important for my low memory device). And no internet permission needed.

Android Keyboard (preinstalled on CM)

My 2 favorite keyboards are
#1- AOSP keyboard that comes default with ROMs such as CM12 or AICP because it uses less resources then most other keyboards and is included by default in the ROMs I use. [FREE]
#2- Swype keyboard because I find this has the best auto correction features out of any other keyboard I tried and is fast as well. [PAID]

I use the Hacker's Keyboard. I like it because of its great, easy-on-the-eyes themes, extensive characters, and full PC keyboard layout in landscape mode.

Which is exactly why I love Hacker's Keyboard. It has no useless features that will only take up memory and RAM, but it's still been my daily driver for a year and a half, now, because it's just so user friendly.

A.I. Type Keyboard. Been using it for God knows how long and I still LOVE it

I have always used the stock keyboard. it has everything I need!

@ИΘΘK¡€ suggested Hacker's Keyboard. Clean and provides all you need. I'll keep it

I've been using SwiftKey for more than a year now and I gotta say-- it's much better than the stock one. I like especially all the customization options that are on my disposal.

I use SwiftKey. It has better prediction. But like Google keyboard, it is fast and smooth.

[APP][4.0+]Clavis Keyboard - PC-like tablet keyboard

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!
You can download Clavis Keyboard here:

Please fix, "Caps Lock, on/off". The letters doesn't change.

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")

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

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.

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).

[GUIDE] MultiLingO Keyboard

I no longer use Multiling O, but use Floris Board on my phone. It, imo, is a superior keyboard.

An open-source keyboard for Android which respects your privacy. Currently in early-beta. - GitHub - florisboard/florisboard: An open-source keyboard for Android which respects your privacy. Curren...
github.com
As with my other post about the Jbak2 keyboard for tablets (here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/guide-jbak2-keyboard-t4016959), I present instructions for installing and configuring the Multiling O keyboard for use on phones. I prefer using Multiling O on my phone because its default configuration is almost perfect for phones (easily adjustable keyboard size, just the right amount of keys), and requires just a few changes to make it perfect for a phone.
You can install from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kl.ime.oh&hl=en
Like the Jbak2 keyboard, this has only four permissions (although different ones):
android.permission.VIBRATE
android.permission.READ_USER_DICTIONARY
android.permission.WRITE_USER_DICTIONARY
android.permission.INTERNET (used to download
Themes/Addons, but not required to function properly)
Link to my shared pCloud http://pc.cd/VJ47 New http://u.pc.cd/v9s7
To try out my configuration (see screenshot) MultiLingO-Screenshot.png
Download it (it's just a plain-text file) MultiLingO-keyboard_Settings.txt
Open it and Copy entire contents to your clipboard
Go to Settings⇛Misc.⇛Import|Export⇛Settings, then tap 'Paste' to replace what's already there with what you just copied to the clipboard.
TIP: To see full functionality, including emojis, PressHold the BlackGearIcon, and slide to the desired function.
TIP: After PressHold the BlackGearIcon⇛Emoji, you will see emoji *categories*. Press one to see full list of emojis.
TIP: Press the red lock icon to return to main keyboard layout.

damn really? it seems like such an essential functionality for basic key shortcuts like ctrl + arrow/backspace/delete to navigate/select, delete/f-delete words easily, and so many other shortcuts. instead of having to create different buttons/gestures for each direction and for each key…

You are still able to design the kb the way you like with your desired "shortcuts" I say shortcuts but you should look over http://honsoapps.appspot.com/1/k.html and redesign default or own layout.

but i can’t do that without a toggle-able button, can i?
let me clarify, lets say the layout i’m using only has Shift, Backspace, Delete and Arrow keys. i’d then only need 1 toggle-able Ctrl key for ctrl + arrows (like shift + arrows for selecting).
but if i want to do that without a toggle button (since i can’t hold it down), i’d need to make 2 dedicated buttons for word-forward and word-back. same happens with ctrl + backspace (now needs 1 more dedicated button) and ctrl + delete (yet 1 more dedicated button). plus for ctrl + up or down (yet 2 more dedicated buttons).
so with just these few shortcuts, what would have only needed 1 toggle-able Ctrl button, instead now needs 6 different dedicated buttons (or 6 different gestures, if using [4D:…]). now imagine i want to add shift to the combination for even more shortcuts, that’s another 6 more dedicated buttons on top (now we’re at 12 extra dedicated buttons/gestures instead of 1 toggle-able Ctrl button). or am i missing some trick?
and don’t worry, i know about creating layouts

I see, yea it would be sound having more sticky functionbuttons. I guess the dev no longer respond either.
Maybe the dude over at Unexpected-Keyboard might have something going, but its not quite the same.

yea, i’m kinda hoping it’s possible in some less known way/some workaround. because implementing shift to be toggle-able but no way for ctrl and alt just seems like an odd development decision, as all three keys are used as “hold-down combo keys” on pc. and yea the dev has long left this project, just hoping that he already implemented it in some sort of way
thanks, i’ll check out unexpected-keyboard but i’m sure there’s no chance that overall it can do what multiling can unfortunately. every time i develop my layouts a bit further i discover something new, it has insane versatility throughout

Have you tried jBak2 keyboard (my xda thread in OP) has info?
I no longer use MultiLingo, but use jBak2 on my tablet, and Florisboard on my phone.
jBak2 is in active development and has *many* improvements from the version available on Play Store. Although I've liked the newer versions' features I don't use them any longer because they have
android.permission.INTERNET
android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
and I don't really need the new features.
If you need the link to get/check out the new versions pm me.

Hi,
with Multiling O keyboard, to write an accented letter (é, à. ò, ù, etc) I used to write the letter first and then,
in the rightmost place of the second row of letters, appeared the letter with the accent so I had just to tap there
to get what I was looking for. Now this behaviour has disappeared (don't updated the app and don't know what happened):
I can I get it back?
Thanks.

I don't know. Also, I no longer use Multiling O (gonna update the OP), but use Floris Board on my phone. It *does* have accented characters, and, imo, is a superior keyboard.

But in Florisboard swipe writing only works in English. A pitty by now, let's see if there is any other update soon

years later, and im using it just fine on my ricedroid a13
hopefully honso will popup with an update since some people think its dead so theres no use trying it out

I don't know how but I lost the ability to add the accents with two strokes: letter then accent, and I can't find a way to restore this functionality.
DO you know anything about it?
Thanks.
