Auto correct in keyboard

My wife misses the auto correct of the iPhone. Does Android have something as comparable, besides the predictive text? The predictive text was just totally messing up her sentences. It doesn't seem to work as good as iPhone. So I assume I'm missing something.

The default keyboard with predictive text is pretty bad. Download SwiftKey 3 Keyboard from the Google Play Store. It will cost you, but trust me, it's worth it.

Used stock for 5 minutes on this phone before getting SwiftKey.

Agree with above. SwiftKey is a must.

Are you guys talking about the Samsung keyboard?
That is terrible, but the jellybean keyboard is really good in predicting your words, so I'd recommend trying to get that.

Another recommendation for SwiftKey. You can type a whole book without ever using the space bar. they let you try it before you buy. 30 day trial I think. Good stuff.

Redundant by now, but yeah, go SwiftKey. You could literally mess up every letter of every word and you would never know lol.

I downloaded SwiftKey for the auto correction feature but still run into issues where (even) SwiftKey knows I spelled a word wrong but will not auto append it to the correct word its predicting. Is there a setting that I am not seeing somewhere as I've been through all the menu's (both native and 3rd party input settings)?

Thanks, she was immediately impressed with the new one.

No problem, that's what we are here for!!

Try Swype beta from the Swype web site.It's not available in the app market. It's predictive text is spot on most of the time and its easy to fix the mistake if it made one.

How does this compare with SwiftKey?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

it's more like swype but faster. it's already pretty good but not final yet. i like it more than swiftkey because of swiping. but maybe the next swiftkey version is even better.

Even if this isn't the final version i really like it. It works just like swype but you see the word follow you as you move your finger.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

So far like this keyboard more then swype beta and touchpal keyboards. You must unlearn certain swype gesture's for it to work correctly but very geeked for the final version and the rest of the goodies on 4.2.

Thus keyboard is fast as heck. I'm not in love with the floating, following word as you type though. A keeper for sure though.

You can turn off the floating following words by the way in settings.
Does anyone know how to to punctuation quickly with it like in swype? My favorite thing about this keyboard besides it's awesomeness is that it doesn't auto add every word i manually type in like swype does.

Yeah, that's my question. I hate having to manually do punctuation again, that's what I like about Swype...

For an early version this thing is fantastic.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I just figured it out. It's like Swift key. Hold down the period then your punctuation comes up.

just love it, also love the leakage community

Super accurate. I love how swiping in this keyboard leans towards common words (it, was, how, and, but. then etc.) more than Swype did. If I remember how Swype worked, it would often try to "overpredict" the words when I'm just trying to spell simple conjunction words and then I would have to go back and correct these simple words. Also, it's awesome that we don't have to do the "circle the letter" to double it like when spelling words with repeating letters. It seems like this keyboard just knows what word you want without having to do any special tricks.
I love being able to have the accurate "peck" typing keyboard while choosing to swipe if I wanted to on the same keyboard. Best of both world.

Ehhh.. I've been using Keymonk Free for months now. Has two finger swype'ing which makes texting even faster, and pretty good prediction as well.
Free version though doesn't allow you to add to dictionary :\

To all the people pointing out that flow doesn't work in Google Search (or similar areas) and claim it's okay, let me remind you that with the 4.2 keyboard, swiping is available everywhere, even where predictions aren't. Just because some searches are not standard (e.g. dotson817), the vast majority of my searches are with English words.
Either the API for swiping anywhere is locked, or SwiftKey dropped the ball. Seeing as to how long this beta took to drop, I'm guessing the latter.

Not working in form fields is one thing. But it doesn't work in comment boxes too, so replying to online forums is a pain.

gesture typing works for me in comment boxes, i just tried on a facebook comment box withing dolphin browser.

My problem with this beta is that it appears to be draining a lot of battery. It doesn't help that Flow is full of bugs (you simply cannot write the words "its" or "it's").

Seems to work great. Just missing page navigation buttons when in a notepad. Works great on my Xoom too running 4.0.4. Syncs well between the two. An ability to add remember needs would make this my top notepad/to do list but will have to stick with catch (functions nowhere near the same but can set reminders).
This is very much like the snote app on s3 and note, but with better sync.

Handwriting to text conversion
Hi, my friend has this on his Padfone 2. I downloaded this as well. We see that this is the same version 3.1.0.9.0.
However, everything is the same except for one feature. He has this button just left of the Trashcan button, that is for conversion of handwriting to text. It works pretty well. In the Settings menu, he has one extra option to select what language for 'Recognition Language', referring to the handwriting feature.
Do you see this option? I'm thinking the app knows that it's not being used on an Asus and disables this? I'm using Samsung Galaxy S3.
Thanks!

[Q] 4.1.2 Keyboard versus Swiftkey question.

Now that we have received our new JB 4.1.2 update from T-Mobile (yeah! :victory, I have a question.
Samsung licensed Swiftkey technology for their keyboard. It does look much better and respond better than before. I also own Swiftkey. That said, I'm waffling between sticking with the stock keyboard and saving some memory versus running Swiftkey and having some additional options for customization.
What do you do?

Do whatever one you prefer, don't know why you want the answer given to you, just preference. Don't stop using apps just because memory more this phone has its memory
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I stopped using SwiftKey because:
1) it was not remembering the words I told it to remember.
2) swipe prediction was terrible.
Using Swype now.

I prefer the note 2 keyboard myself because it has the numbers on top and I don't have to keep it that stupid little button on the side to make my numbers pop up.

Or just use the free note 2 keyboard from a flashable zip.

Only SwiftKey can insert space bar by swiping over the space bar without letting go of your finger. I find that really hard to beat. I'll stick to SwiftKey until I find something that could do better.

Been looking
Hi guys first post ever here in XDA. Been lurking for a while.
I have the Frosty JB 4.1.1 v11.2.1. I removed alot of apps through Titanium and when I do a factory reset, I don't have any keyboards. I am looking for the stock or note2 or the new 4.1.2 keyboard to install. I have swype but want to get stock so I can put it in the proper folder for factory resets so I wont be without a keyboard upon reboot. I have searched and all I keep finding is themed KB and cant get them to work. I hate the dev stopped producing the frosty rom, I love it on my phone. Cant find the v11.2.1 or I would just start fresh there.
Thanks in advance.

You can either "convert to System app" using TiBu Pro or move the .apk to the /system/app folder and reboot. Root is required for either.

And just fyi, there shouldn't be a link to the note2 kb in the themes and apps sticky.

Thank you all. I found tp2215 library and picked up the note2 and installed via zip in cwm.

Preferences
Its all based on your preferences. I have used both and didn't think anything could be better than swiftkey till I saw the new Samsung keyboard on the s4 Note2 roms. I go back and forth now looking for a new king. I like the option of having the permanent numbers row on the ported note2 but I am also trying the new Kii keyboard on the play store. Install them all and swap back and ofrth in settings untill you decide which works best for you. I currently have 4 or 5 installed.
