it keeps changing some words, for exemple when I type "digito" it changes to "dígito"
they are totally different words in portuguese
I would like T9 only to have suggestions, not to change automatically the word I'm typing. Is it possible?
I already unchecked all checkboxes in T9 settings, like auto-substitution, auto-correction, etc.
Same to me. As of now, I enabled T9,but I miss the suggestions while writing.
Me myself and I, I'm totally over it! Why have I got a keyboard to tpye in waht eva i Want wHateVa way i wnat if there's somebody watching over my shoulder and telling me what I'm saying is wrong? There has got to be a way to completely remove this thoroughly annoying feature from all message composing!

Yep, I'm with you on this one. I have unchecked ALL the word completion/T9 settings but yet somehow TP keeps suggesting words.
Also, when I try to compose a message whenever I press the arrow keys whole words keep jumping into my text message. It seems that I have to manually refuse every suggested word otherwise it will be written to the text.
In the end the message is useless and I need to be extra careful while typing :-(
Id hate to be captain obvious, but...
did you click the button (the one with the slider) on the virtual keyboard from t9 to abc?
The T9 feature is terribly implemented. I've even complained to HTC, but from the look of the respond given, I don't think we are going to see any improvement on it.
The following is my case report,
Me:
I'm having problem typing using the keyboard via T9.
Basically, it forces me to use only words found in its dictionary. The default setting is on for "Spell Correction", "Word Completion" and "Auto-Substitution". If I turn "Spell Correction" off, I'm still forced to choose the words suggestion by "Word Completion" and "Auto-substitution" if there are similar words found. In my case, I'll have to turn everything off to be able to type anything properly. Even so, the capitalization of letters is still bugging me. If I have a word "Rumah" in the dictionary and I want to type "rumah", it will force the word to become "Rumah" no matter what. This is making the T9 feature useless. I hope HTC would have come out with some solution for this. Thanks.

At least make it so that the typed word appears on the left most, but the suggested word is second, highlighted. This way, if user wants to add the word, he/she just tap on it, instead of tapping the "+" icon and retype the word. Just to make sure that you are aware that tapping the "+" icon will actually ask the user retype the word that he/she wants to add.

From my experience, this will actually lead to nothing as HTC seems to always use the same reply when the support team couldn't help with anything, that is, by stating that they have forwarded the suggestion/problem to the tech-department.

try pressing the reset button nubs
Can you change the way this inspire searches?
If you can not remember the contacts name or the first word of the organization name nothing shows up when your try to search parts of the organization.
Example: Name: John Doe
Organization: Sunguard Window Tenting
If you search for "Window or Tenting", the search does not show anything. If you search for Sunguard, it will find it.
I have a lot of business in my contacts and sometimes I can not remember the first part of the business name. For instance I have several police department names. I would like to just search for "departments" and see my list.
Is this making any sense.....
Anyone else has this issue?

I had the same results while trying to search. It only looks at the first name of each field.
You can put them into different groups but it takes longer to get to that menu then doing a simple search. It also seems you can't do a search based on the group.
I have been trying to find a keyboard app that will do spell check on the word after I have typed it like the way the iPhone does. I can type a whole message filled with spelling mistakes and before I send it I can go back and click on each word that has the red line under it and pick the correct word from the drop down list.
Does Android have an app like that? I can't seem to find one.
Thanks
- theDXT
frankly, no. The ics keyboard has a built in keyboard, but that's about the best u can do
I just use Swype with Word Suggestion on and Auto-correction off because I just hate auto-correct
Anyway, I can type my entire message and before I send it, I can tap on any word and select the correctly spelled word that is suggested. It just does not underline the wrongly spelled word.

So - if you typed it thinking it was spelled correctly how do you know it's not? Do you tap on every word before sending? No sarcasm intended.
Having misspelled words underlined doesn't always catch your mistakes. Fore instance their are no spelling mistakes in this sentence, but it is not correct.

I know how to spell, I just Swype fast and sometimes the wrong word is used or if I'm typing, I sometimes press the wrong letter. I just proof read before sending. I don't need words to be underlined... well, most of the time
I use SwiftKey X. Love it.

Its not the keyboard application which can underline your text.
It would definitely be the application in which you are typing the text. Just like on laptops spelling correction is built-in the Word processors not the keyboard.
Anyways you can use any keyboard application which Auto-Correct your words.
Hi all,
One fine evening a while back,
I was sitting under an Android tree when suddenly a device hit me straight on the head.
And then it hit me (again):
People tap type with two fingers but sweep with a single finger.
How would it be like to sweep words with two fingers?
It was a terrible itch, and I just had to scratch it,
and so the Keymonk keyboard came to be.
And let me tell you, it is AMAZING...
In 2010 Samsung and Swype made headlines around the world when
Melissa Thompson used a Swype powered device to set the word record for fastest SMS at 26 seconds.
In this video, sloppy fingered me, sweep through the same notorious SMS in 18 seconds:
Does it look weird?
Give it a try: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keymonk.latin
And let me know what you think about it.
Better yet, tell your friends!
UPDATE (Oct 26) - Here is a great FAQ created by polstein to summarize this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33278012&postcount=192
I have been using it for a while and let me tell you, it is AWESOME!
Are you the developer of Keymonk? I actually use the paid version, but the way you've been pimping it in various threads all over XDA today makes me kinda want to stop using it to be honest
How about you stop being a bit underhanded and make a proper thread here on XDA so that users can give you feedback and make requests, etc.

Pretty much that.
On 7 posts made, 6 are pushing Keymonk. Can't see any users loving a software that much.
OP is the dev of the Keymonk keyboard. I suggested that he open a thread about it & ask for some feedback. He kind of went overboard because he wanted to post his youtube video & you need to have 5 or 10 (?) posts to be able to put up the link.
(Sorry about that, probably my fault)
On the keyboard itself:
I've been using the keyboard for a while. It's like he mentioned - Swype with 2 fingers. I switched a lot from Sliding keyboards to a 2-finger keyboard thumb typing keyboard because while I always love the sliding type of keyboard (going back to the Shark keyboard!) I always disliked using just 1 finger on them.
This is a try at being best of both worlds - 2 finger sliding.
I think it was intended for landscape screen originally, so that your fingers don't bump in the middle, but I use it in portrait with few collisions. Actually, one suggestion made was to offer a split keyboard to avoid the collisions all-together.
A couple people I've shown it to were concerned with it being too complicated, since you have to keep track of both thumbs. I haven't had this problem any more then typing with 2 thumbs.
All I can say, is give the free one a shot & let him know what you think (or just post here).
I'll post my comments here and if you/he/we want to move it elsewhere, let me know.
I've used the free version on and off for quite a while and just decided to purchase it. I like it! But it can be really frustrating when the keyboard doesn't recognize my swipes. It doesn't happen too often but sometimes the keyboard just says "try again" (or something like that). It would be really helpful if there were some way for me to find out what I've done wrong so I can modify my behavior. I have NO idea how the app could do this. Maybe letting me tap the message to get an explanation of some sort?
There also seem to be occasions where I've tricked the keyboard into thinking it shouldn't capitalize the next word. I haven't figured out a true pattern yet but I've noticed that it happens when I've entered several new lines in a row, in the Gmail app, for instance, to leave a couple of blank lines.
I'm a big fan of Swype and am becoming a much bigger fan of Keymonk
oh, let me try
currently on touchpal beta
edit: just tried, quite promising and super fast to type long keywords.. just some collisions as suggested above... and prediction needs improvement.
awesome keyboard I think am going to buy it

Just for the record, that bit of text of yours reads like bullying.
Don't do that again, please.
A new member on XDA can only post a link to Youtube or Google Play after making several initial posts.
XDA only makes this request: "But please, please don’t post junk just to get your post count up!"
I thought it was reasonable and ethical to respond in context to discussions about keyboards.
I thought it was understood that I am the developer,
but in case it wasn't clear I did develop Keymonk,
I apologize to you all.
As for this post, try reading it again.
It believe is perfectly clear from it that I am the developer.
Giving this a go now. Fantastic! Great work.
What's the difference between the paid version and the free version?

I haven't seen the try again thing too much. The keyboard does show the trace lines, have you happened to notice when you hit the try again how badly you missed (if you missed at all?)

I *think* the only difference is the pro ones lets you add words to the custom dictionary. (and supports the dev!) Might be others that I just haven't used.

I will think about it. Maybe there are events in which I can detect there was a problem.
What device are you using?
In some devices the multi-touch screen does not always work properly.
Try to notice if the circles flicker while you sweep your fingers.
Another common problem occurs if you bump your fingers together.
This may confuse the touch screen and prevent the keyboard from detecting your intention.

In Keymonk, auto capitalization works like tapping the shift once.
It will reset back to lower case after the next tap.
This is why after tapping the Enter key several times it resets back to lower case.

See the irony is that I'm actually really glad you're on XDA as I like Keymonk, and as I said, have purchased it. The feedback from the users of this community will, hopefully, be valuable to helping you iron out the minor kinks in it.
The only thing I didn't like was the manner of your initial posts, and voiced my opinion about them (and two others actually agreed with me).
As I said, very glad to have you aboard Monkey Man and very much look forward to seeing how the development of Keymonk progresses :good:

What a coincidence, I've just discovered Keymonk in the Play Store. A keyboard junkie myself who types in various languages, I think the concept is pure genius and its actual incarnation in Keymonk is nice and will hopefully get even better over the next months.
The highlights:
- I love the two-handed combination of swiping and tapping. It takes some getting used to, but I think it has enormous potential, particularly on today's bigger screens.
- I love the way you can select a character from the numbers/symbols plane with a simple swipe.
My biggest gripes after a few hundred words:
1. In languages with lots of compounds (like German), you need a way of inputting unknown compound words (having all of them in your dictionary is unrealistic) by swiping the various parts one after another. Like: Zeitgeist -> Zeit + Geist. What you need is a command to start the next word without a space and in lower case. In Swype you do that by swiping from the Space key to the Backspace key (a symbol on the space bar shows you've activated no-space mode). So, you swipe Zeit, then you swipe from the space bar to the backspace key and then swipe Geist, and you get Zeitgeist.
An alternative would be a command to glue the last word to the penultimate one (ie. after the fact as it were rather than before the fact as with Swype). So you swipe Zeit, then Geist, and then swipe a command to convert Zeit Geist to Zeitgeist. Not sure how easy and reliable this kind of postediting would be, but if it worked, I would even prefer it to Swype's method.
2. If I append characters to a previously typed word (often enough inadvertently) and then want to delete it, a left swipe from the Backspace key deletes the entire thing rather than the appended part only. Swype (or was it Swiftkey) does it better by keeping track of edits and only deleting the last part. After #1, this was the biggest cause for lost time in my tests.
3. There are no predictions while typing, only a frustrating "..." (OK, alternative forms for the last typed key are offered, e.g ä for a, which is a nifty idea). Why is that? I thought predictions for the current word (if not for the next) were standard.
4. A long-press must give you some sort of popup with alternative forms (eg. e -> é, è, ê etc.). Different keyboards implement the actual act of choosing among the alternatives differently, but this again is standard, and for a reason. Keymonk itself demonstrates the usefulness of this concept with the excellent popup on long-pressing the full stop key.
I am delighted to see a newcomer that can actually challenge the giants of the category, and I'd love to see it getting even better soon.

I couldn't agree more to what was said above!
because this keyboard really has loads of potential...

The full version can add new words to the user dictionary (while the free version can only read the user dictionary).
In addition the full version unlocks the settings page.
In particular it lets you activate auto-spaces after punctuations marks.
My favorite feature in the full version is being able to hide the list of suggestions.
After a bit of practice, you get the right words most of the time and don't really need it anymore.
The extra space you get for the editor view in landscape mode is significant.
You can see how that looks like in the video.

You can also sweep from the 123 key to the ALT key and then to a symbol from the ALT keyboard.
or you can hold the 123/ALT keys while you tap symbols with the other finger and it will return to QWERTY when you are done.

Well, I believe predictions are a distraction and encourage slow typing, and are not useful when typing at 40 words per minute or faster.

I think this will not work well in Keymonk since a user is likely to hold down a key while thinking what to do with the other finger, especially when just starting to use the keyboard.
In addition, I do not like long press key functionality for letters.
I think it is quicker to tap a letter and then tap its alternative form in the suggestions list.
Thank you for your feedback!
Going to give this a look! Always looking for a faster way to type!
