Google Voice Typing (I think that's what it is, the little mic button), its extremely irritating because when i accidently click the button on the sense keyboard it comes up and throws me off, i will never use it. Is there any way to get rid off it, preferably without rooting? I have tried disabling it in the apps section, but this results in the Sense keyboard not opening and working properly
Help please!
*Also this is my first EVER forum post.. weird i know, but tell me if ive done anything that forum users like yourselves deem as not right; thanks.

Your first post was fine as far as I know there is no way to remove the microphone button but I use the stock ICS keyboard and I believe you can.

Same here, i asked the same question, always hitting the voice key so either use swift key or the ics keyboard from play store.
Cant get to grips with either of those either though.

Thanks guys
Or you also can disable the the voice search in settings- apps - all and reboot, then you will have keyboard without the Voice icon.
Or you could give voice typing a go, it actually works really well! if i'm by myself i always use it over the keyboard since its much faster and less effort
Thanks ck, did that, good enough fix for me! And i have tried it, its just abit extravegant and i can text really fast, but thanks anyhoo

I have battled with this problem as well. I am using Google Keyboard, and am very happy with it.
Today I found a decent workaround:
In Google Keyboard settings, there is a setting for "Voice Input key", under which you can either move the little mike button to the symbol keyboard, or remove it altogether.

Hi
Anyone know how to tell Swype Beta to use google voice instead of the fire "Dragon Dictate" as Jellybean has offline voice typing and is far superior.
Just a shame the stock samsung keyboard with its swipe isnt as good.
Anyway, so far only way Ive found by leaving swype as default is to pull down notification bar when Im about to do voice typing and just select google voice from the input method.
I would just prefer to press the mic button though...
Thanks

Jaytt was asking about ways to tweak it to do so, not whether or not it would officially support it.
Swype is not open source correct?
If not, could one develop an app that overlaps the voice button on Swype provides that launches Google Voice instead?

anyone who knows how to get me started on having an overlay to a keyboard??? can you skin it?
Maybe you can try KII Keyboard. It's pretty good but it doesn't have the shortcuts. It uses Google Voice though. Check it out!

If one likes Swype but HATES the terrible predictive speech recognition of Dragon Go, yes it does matter.
That being said, I guess we can't do it, so thanks to the poster who brought Kii to our attention; it'll do, though it's not as fluid as Swype for keyboard swyping.
Temporary Solution
Sorry that I'm a little late getting in on this thread, but I have a temp solve.
(Disclaimer ... for anyone interested: I, too, use Swype, religiously, because it is way faster than any other gesturing keyboard in Android - I type a lot of text, using a Note 2, and Swype is constantly helping me break all my speed records. Dragon, however, is a pain, for one, because it is not as stable as Google Voice, often giving me grief when connectivity is sporadic; but also because the software is slightly more bloated than Google Voice, causing the annoying "fade in" graphical interface which drags down on its listening response time. This lag is noticeable when you are "Swyping" at 80 words a minute when transitioning to speaking texts suddenly takes 4 times as long as "Swyping.")
Sooooo...
A temporary solution (despite the extra key presses) is to...
1) Long press on the text window
2) Select "Full Editor" from the pop up menu
3) Tap the "Google Mic" icon
And that's pretty much it. It is, unfortunately, an annoying solution, but for me, it's working faster than Dragon on the average. Hope that helps someone, particularly JoeyDVDZ

Joey,
Appreciate it, but I don't believe that this will work on many devices. I think it is dependent on what program you use for SMS/MMS as well....

Try this:
https://plus.google.com/108096915458146487046/posts/i8iSG2yovVo
Just pull the notification bar down when you have swype up, and choose google voice typing.

This was bugging me too - but then I actually tried google voice typing...not so great so far, but i'll keep trying
this trick doesn't work for me... maybe it is not for CM10?

Not having Google Voice with Swype finally bothered me enough that I have been working on such a thing! I have a proof-of-concept working fairly well on my phone (Nexus 4), and now I'd like to find someone with a rooted S3 willing to try it out there. It requires root to be able to inject keystrokes into an app. If you have a rooted S3, please shoot me a message at [email protected], and I'll discuss it with you some more.
(I've posted a similar message in the S4 section. Since these are two of the most popular devices, I'd like to see if, and how well, it works on them before pursuing it further.)

Yes, it's built in to my Nexus 4, but it's not as good as Swype at getting the word I want. I've tried them all, and I always end up coming back to Swype. Google's voice typing is better than Dragon Dictate, though, so this is the best of both.
There is a way

there is way but you must be rooted and have xposed installer installed, there will be this app called googleofflinevoice. Download it and restart then just double click on the dragon go icon and google voice will appear. Have fun!
I come from Swype and recently Swiftkey and find that the Note keyboard is not bad at all.
I'm very surprised to be saying this but I am enjoying it very much. Started using it to test the one handed operation as my fingers couldn't reach the "A" key with ease and have been using it since.
The engine is Swiftkey so I guess is the similar with Samsung twist. I love the fact that I can type in multiple languages simultaneously w/o having to change.
What keyboard are you guys using? What would you change or add to it?

I know that is one of the complaints I also have. Long press takes FOR EVER.
It would also be nice if you could do the "ctrl C" and "ctrl V" to copy and paste as you do in Swype.

I just tested my module from the note 2. SamsungKeyboardShortDelay in xposed installer. Works fine on the note3.
I've never used the Samsung keyboard really I've always been a swiftkey user, but this time around I'm really liking it and you're right maybe because the swiftkey engine? ?

I was a huge smartkeyboard pro user before buying the note 2 and seeing the 5 row keyboard it has built in. Can't reccomend samsung keyboard enough now that im hooked using it.
Sent from my note 2 ya bish!
The keyboard was one of the things I was looking forward to. Having a dedicated number row is nice. I had a note 2 keyboard mod on my gs3. Really liked it.
I am loving it, I am honestly liking it more than swift key.
I love it too, but have your guys'/gals' swiping predictions been all over the place? I'm constantly having to un learn crazy words I have never and would never use. Thinking about going back to swift key for this reason.
Btw, when I typed that, it suggested " fount beak" instead of "going back." ..rly
Edit: gonna try turning off live prediction, which might be theculprit. ..and turn on learn from Gmail and messages.
new keyboard
I'm finding the new keyboard to my liking. Having the numbers there without having to go into a sub-keyboard is really great. I like the size of the keys for when I use my fingers, and the keys are a good distance when I use the stylus too. :good:

I thought the Samsung keyboad was supposed to learn and use the words you commonly say. It never seems to pick up the words LTE or AT&T automatically for me.
I am currently using the Google keyboard.

Hit this thread and install xposed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467958
Launch the app and select framework then install framework.
After you have it set up, tap download from the main menu, then find the Samsung keyboard short delay module. Download and install it, then enable it in the modules menu. Reboot and it should be active.

Glad to help. Have fun with the note.
I really liked this keyboard and I WOULD LOVE TO USE IT but a couple things that im not sure i can let go from swiftkey. 1) the longpress duration (im not rooted yet) 2) i have my predictions backed up via cloud with swiftkey so it already knows my "language" and 3) WHICH IS THE BIG ONE, I LOVE swiping back to delete the word with swiftkey. This saves me so much time, I wish I can get that on this keyboard because I really like it and it seems to type more accurately. Swiftkey skips the 1st letter if i type the 2nd one too fast, and thats never happened to me on any other phone just this one. Anyway, sorry for the novel

I like it a lot. Especially the numbers on top. I installed the official Google Keyboard from the Play Store too. I like the big buttons on it, and if it had numbers on top I'd probably use it as default, so for now I switch back and forth when I feel like it.
I love the new N3 keyboard. The only thing that's bothering me is the small space bar. I also can't seem to find the setting that hides the symbols on the keyboard. Is there any way to get rid of that on the r mobile USA version?
I was using an iphone 4 before buying my G3, and I could very easily type what I wanted. It would always register the right key. With my G3, despite its considerably larger screen, I'm having trouble typing what I want. If I dont hit the key on the exact spot, I get one of the adjacent keys. Has anyone experienced that too ? Is there some kind of calibration that can be done to resolve this ?
Thanks
I never had that problem with g3 using the slider function. I use Google keyboard.

I was using the stock LG keyboard. Didn't know about the Google keyboard, I just tried it and it is much better, thanks !
I see myself making a lot of typing mistakes aswell where I had no problems before. Not sure why this happens on a larger screen phone...
For me Google Keyboard and Kii keyboard are the best for me where I can speed type what I want accurately. LG keyboard is pretty bad to me no matter how much I try to adjust to it.
use GOOGLE KEYBOARD. I use it since it came out on Play Store
Its the height u need to make it bigger for u to press easily
I find sometimes it picks up on the wrong key as well as I have big hqnds. The Google keyboard is the best for accuracy and even better than the iPhone one in my opinion

Can someone help me?

It is practically impossible because that app is customized to work with Samsung TouchWiz only. You should try to look for another keyboard in Play Store that has the features you miss. Are you sure you don't want another dialer?

Thanks for interest. I load other keyboard from play Store and didnot Like it. Now Last I load Xperia keyboard for g4 I Like it. Also beter than lgs stock keyboard . Another question is it possible to add shortcut to numbers 1-9? Can I do it with changing or adding experıa keyboard apk?
I do not actually understand by shortcut cu numbers. When you long press a key, it will show up other characters you can use. If you need a keyboard with numbers only like on the old phones, some keyboards have different layouts, among these there is one with numbers like on the keypad. I know Swype, the keyboard I am using (and the one I bought a while ago) has it.

Shortcut I mean in note 4 keyboard you can assign whatever you want (Phone number your password or email to one number between 1-9 number key) for exm. You assign your email to number 5 key. When u writing something and long press number 5 key it writes your email addres automatically.
It is sort of an autocomplete, I get it now. I never heard of anything like this before, but I never used a Samsung before. Maybe you will find one keyboard with this feature.
