so i had voice input on my g1 and it was amazing it almost always got it right, now i have it thanks to the htc_ime jonas keyboard and via the motorola multitouch and it absolutely stinks, it gets everything wrong and comes back with the most bizarres suggestions,
voice input for search seems to work pretty well so doea anyone have any ideas whats wrong?
english with an an english accent btw.
ok i have a development in this, voice input works ok when i only use the android stock keyboard. with the motorola multitouch it is completely useless so i suppose that must be something to do with it not being optimised for the desire.
still would have expected it to work better with the jonas htc_ime as this worked brilliantly on my g1

Trying to get the HTC keyboard for my phone cuz let's face it, the android keyboard sucks. I've been following this thread over on the XDA Nexus One thread and have followed it exactly installing both APK's. Each time when i long click and select Touch Input, no keyboard shows up on the screen.
I'm not exactly sure why it won't work since i have installed several other keyboards over the past.
If anyone knows how to get this working, or is experiencing a similar issue please let me know.
Bump
Seriously? Nobody. The android keyboard sucks haha and my swype expired.
lol dude, not clue why it doesnt work, i tried downloading the v20 apk from the N1 forums, it installs but when you switch input methods it doesnt show up so stuck in same boat

first you have to go to the xdandroid startup icon and make sure the model is on tilt 2 mode, then boot. just like using the regular keyboard. able to use fn key to enter numbers not like when they are all at the top.
Hello Guys
I am trying to use Polish dictionary in the gingerbread keyboard because i find it more accurate and responsive and less buggy than the HTC IME mod but cannot get the Polish prediction to work
anybody has an idea?
thanks
ps. i did search the forum couldnt find anything though which is why im making this topic
Hello
Which ROM are you talking about?
Polish dictionary didn't work for me in Redux (1.1.0). I've switched to Oxygen - now it's OK.

Hi
I just bought WS and have a oportunity to try my friends Samsung Galaxy Ace. I can compare just a keyboard and typing on it and I was surprised about speed of Samsung! Reaction time between two different letters is very short to compare with Wildfire S! So when I write faster on WS than in text are missing letters, on Samsung not. Why ?
Does anybody have chance to compare Samsung keyboard with HTC ? just try! is that general different of brand or just model different ?
try on your phone tuch letters "A" and "L" and keept touching and increase speed till you reach border of your keyboard or fingers
Correct result shoul looks like : alalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalal even you write very fast in my case on Smasung it was perfect.
But on WS looks final text in same speed like: aalllalllalalllalalallaaalalalallaalaalll
Is there any way how to increase reaction time on WS? if not than I sell my WS and buy Samsung
and sorry for my english
Tested it on my WFS and I see what your saying.
I use Swype beta for touchscreen input. Its a very fast way of typing when you get used to it
Surely the WS is just too small to type quickly and accurately?
I have installed something called big thumb (?) or similar which makes things slightly better ... I wish I'd bought a bigger phone to be honest
Yap. I noticed that too. I can't belive it but Samsung keyboard is better...
this is not a problem of small keyboard but problem of Android settings from HTC. I think its slow becasu of vibration of keyboard. Smasung has no vibration and I found that I do not need it at all! Yes, bigger display is better but I can tuch rigth letters easy on WFS but its just slow. You have to try writte something on Samsung and you will see! And becasuse Samsung Galaxy Ace has now Android 2.3.3 and video 640x480, enaught of RAM even it is less than WFS I am gonna to sell WFS and buy Smamsung And I think that battery is better as well. Finaly I do not like HTC Sense as many so why I bought HTC ? Because I just do not have experience, but only read specification and compare numbers and its is not good way to select right phone. Ok next time
And as I wrote its a problem of Android settings from HTC. It means that some one who is skilled can make some edit of Android and just change a respons of keyboard.
anybody knows ? ?
hey users of HTC, are you satisfied with speed of your keyboard ? If yes, just try samsung or learn to writte faster
I've just installed Beta Swype and the problem is solved
I use swiftkey X and that is very responsive.

You need to sign up to the beta to start the download process.
Bit of a hassle but worth it

Thanks. I had Swype before on my Samsung Galaxy Ace, found it useful but the keyboard's look just doesn't make the cut for me.
But for those who don't want Swype then they can download the Keyboard for Android 2.3 by Steven Lin from the Android Market, quite useful too. Not like the WS keyboard, the A and L trick should work.
I use smart keyboard pro. You can customize it a lot and also change visuals. Now i have a samsung style keyboard. You can also make the keyboard larger for bigger buttons etc ...
I've abandoned QWERTY and have started using the XT9 keyboard which suits my sausage sized fingers perfectly.
Hey guys,
I'm looking for a Rom:
Must Haves:
ICS/FH13
Favors stability over good looks
The Google version of voice recognition where it types as you speak
Swype keyboard
Optional
Better battery life than stock
USB Mass Storage
That's all that's really important to me. I'm not looking for bleeding edge, I just want something that has swype and Google's verison of voice recognition with the red circle.
Does this ring a bell to anyone? Thank you!

I realize that part of my question is a dumb question... Turns out Google Voice Typing _is_ included on latest ICS Stock rom. The crap part is, swype doesn't integrate with it, so hitting the microphone button takes you to the old school voice recognition prompt
I'm still up for suggestions... Thank you!
Is it just me or does everyone else agree that the stock keyboard is unusable. Simple texts or emails take 5 times longer then just using the android keyboard. Its horrible. Horrible prediction and does actions I never even ask it to do. Haven't even got to the lag!!! I know there is a mod to fix the lag but I don't think it does much. Anyone else dealing with this?? Anything I can do?
I can't say I agree. The keyboard on the LG G3 has to be one of the best I have ever used. Very close to the one on the iPhone in terms of responsivenss, pretty much no lag and the predictions are quite good.
Have you tried the advanced settings for the keyboard?
The only issue I have with it is not inserting spaces as I'm swiping.
Tbh i love it. Its really great.
What lag are you talking about thats because of the LG keyboard?
For me the keyboard is very fast and the prediction is perfect. It looks good aswell and is very customizable.
It's just you the stock key board is one of the first I have not had or wanted to change soon at I turned the phone on
First stock keyboard that hasn't made me switch to swiftkey... Yet anyway
Glad I noticed this post. I had automatically installed swiftkey and turned it off for a while to see if I liked the LG keyboard. It seams very responsive and easy to use. I love the way you can increase the size of the keyboard.
Yeah the keyboard is pretty bad.
I used it for 1 month straight and was too tired of its errors. I didn't see any lag with it but things like swiping to "is" and getting "it's" drove me nuts and wasted a ton of time correcting. Far too many of these types of errors.
Back to Swype and it works perfect as always.
I like it at first but now reverted back to the Google Keyboard. I find the predictive not that good, say you wanted totype "Ship" it would automatically correct it to "Shop". Any word typed that is not in the dictionary it replaces with one that is, its trying to be too clever.
But the biggest problem is I get this bug where I can only type numbers.
There are good things about this keyboard, numbers shown on top row and excellent spacing of keys.

I'm having this same problem. There has got to be a fix for it, I've tried everything I can think of.
Ok, so switch to another keyboard. Seriously, these types of threads are out of control here. Are we getting all the rejects from the rest of XDA? Are all the smart folks buying other phones? What is going on here.
That was a little harsh. Last I checked this was a discussion board.

You know, you can easily ignore threads with titles that don't interest you instead of complaining... This is a thread about a feature on the phone that this forum is for - it is perfectly on topic.
I agree with the OP its one of the worst I've used because of how tiny the buttons are, I just switched to stock Google and am typing much faster because of it.
Just use Swiftkey, it's free !

No i didnt although opening it again after reading your post and i have noticed that the keyboard updated to a more modern ios type look which is nicer than the bubbly one it shipped with.
Install the Google keyboard, it's fantastic.
Well, kinda agree on this...i stopped using it too, try the google L keyboard... I found it easier to type and use as well. Is available on xda, just search for L keyboard... Comes as apk, can be aplied on non rooted device
