I have been using the new gesture keyboard and it is frustrating me that when I type swear words I cannot add them to the dictionary so everytime I use them I have to type them all out. Is there anyway to fix this?
If you go into:
Settings->Language & input->Personal dictionaries
You can select your personal dictionary and add words there.
I cannot add "F***" through this method. What do they think we are, bunch of kids.
I know there is an option to block offensive words, make sure its not checked. But i still think there are words you cannot store. Maybe come up with something else clever to say when you feel like cursing. How about "banana eatin cretin"?

I can add that word just fine. What is the actual error message you see?
If you go through the settings>language and keyboard you can add custom entries to the dictionary. I added a whole slew of filthy obscenities, and they come up just fine now via gesture typing.
Anyone wanna share lol? Can't be bothered to type them all in.

I just realized that double tapping a word highlights the entire word and gives the option to replace it with a drop down list of suggested words. Has anyone found any other tricks to working the 4.2 keyboard?

Swype is still phenomenally better. The typing gets more accurate with use, and it is always much more accurate and has better punctuation. It takes one tap to add a word to the dictionary. I add a word to the Google dictionary and it still doesn't show up. It randomly censors out words and autocorrects to words that don't even exist. It's a bloody mess.
Have you even tried to write the word "sex"? It keeps on changing it to "sec" and won't even allow me to add it to the dictionary.
Google should have just bought Swype and incorporated it...
I wonder if it's possible to disable it from automatically creating a space after each word, there are times when I want to disable it.

i found the new native keyboard a great improvement, but for me and my uses, doesn't get close to swype. one thing i miss in the native keyboard is cut/copy/paste/select all with just a swype, the ability to move de cursor by swiping too, it has tab (->), a big numerical only keyboard mode, &c.
Of course it's a matter of personal preferences, but swype has more useful features, that i find myself using everyday, than the new native keyboard. And I did delay my coming back to swype trying to get used to the new keyboard. But eventually, after a few days, I'm back with swype.
all the best
You can also tap and hold a word to get the options too.
Of course, predicting words could be better and punctuation marks on swype are more natural to enter.

I noticed that too. How dare they restrict the English language, the bayards. Oops I mean b*stards!
How do you manually add words to the dictionary? Is there a method of doing it other than the default type it out and touch again to save?

It's under the language and input section in the settings menu.
Swype Beta was just updated to 1.4. Update details per Android Central, "added Living Language, which takes auto correction and word prediction to a new level with crowd sourced data". Other additions include, "The correction engine has gotten an upgrade, and the new Smart Editor now analyzes your entire sentence, flagging any errors for correction or suggesting the best substitution based on the context of what you're saying, not just the word order."
Please share your thoughts on this version. Download is here: http://beta.swype.com/
That video was hilarious

Thanks Dave, I've always been a huge Swype fan, wouldn't buy a phone unless it was capable of using Swype. This version is pretty nice. Still playing with it. One thing I noticed is, it's not quite as easy to use punctuation as before (like anyone uses punctuation in texts anyway). I used to be able to tap on the last word I wrote and it would give me the option of ! , ? or whatever, now you have to long press the appropriate letter. Not a biggie just something I noticed. Still playing, but thanks for the heads up! :good:
I'm liking the built in themes!
Thanks for the info. Just updated. Hopefully the update will address the problem with personal dictionary disappearing followed by no longer able to add new words.

I've been messing with it for about an hour or so. The smart editor and next word prediction must take time to populate. As for the personal dictionary disappearing, I don't get why they have a register option, but no log in and sync dictionary option :thumbdown: As for adding words, I have had no issues there. One last thing I noticed is that Dragon seems a little more accurate. May be my imagination

One thing I really wish they had was an option to disable Dragon and use Google for voice typing.

There is login and the supposedly sync dictionary option. Under Swype connect, just tap into your registered email/account. Although I'm not sure how it works; I don't see any syncing between my two devices using the same account.
If this is your first time using Swype, then the dictionary disappearing issue I was referring to usually happens in a few days. Whatever triggered it I'm still unclear; I've tried with or without an account, checked and unchecked syncing option, and many other combinations... and it's usually after that disappearance the word addition ceases to work.

I've never had any issues with the voice typing. It works pretty good for me, even when I talk faster or stutter, it picks up remarkable well. Maybe it's just your Canadian accent :laugh:

Lol! I just find Google voice typing works so well. Also I regularly hit the Dragon button by error due to its proximity to the enter button.
On another note, after a day of use, I have definitely noticed an improvement in word selection while swyping.

I am always open minded to better options & different ideas, but if you are going to post a statement like this, please explain how you have arrived at this conclusion.
I don't think anyone can debate the fact that Swiftkey has the best prediction machine out there for regular typing. I actually use Swiftkey on my tablet, and when drafting long emails on my phone in landscape. Given this I was very excited to try Swiftkey Flow, which I did, for both versions. In my experience, Swiftkey still has a long way to go to catch Swype when it comes to swype typing. Swiftkey Flow is not as accurate or smooth as Swype when swyping. My typing speeds on Swype are 25% faster than when using Swiftkey Flow. This is not surprising given Swype has been doing this since it was founded almost 10 years ago in 2003.

OK..I like the fact it auto spaces after punctuation. I can tell it to learn how I type from SMS, FB, or Twit. It goes out and does it's thing and says it learned. I can now to "Swiping" words in shorthand that I used in GOsms. Genius. I can swipe left quick quick quick and it will start to remove text I may want to remove. The keyboard has a fresh look with various themes. All Swype boards look the same to me. I bid you to try the latest version of flow. ...61. It's much improved

If you like to swype, you can do a period-to-space swype (same for question, exclamation mark, comma, colon, and double-quote). You can also double-tap space to get period-space now. I'm not sure when that was added though.
I love the punct gestures; long press is too slow.
When you stop on a letter and wait for the menu to pop up with the available choices, it would be nice to see the uppercase version of the letter there as well.
Otherwise I have been using Swype since this summer when I got my SG3 and love it.

Swype also auto spaces after punctuation. I have tried both versions of Swiftkey flow. There is no brand loyalty here, I just want the best solution for me.
At the end of the day, this decision is personal and very much driven by what one is accustomed to. Let's bury the comparison discussion for now, the purpose of this thread is for discussion around the new Swype release.
Or just swype from the question mark or exclamation point to the space bar and it will input whatever special character your swyped from..... It's the easiest way.

is it possible to theme swype? would it be hard to mode the app to be inverted lets say
Help me please. It's driving me crazy I can't get my Samsung keyboard to allow me to type and curse word. It always changes it to something else. It's very frustrating to tell someone that
"You're full of shipping you funding pig"
This is not a troll post. Lol I'm an idiot. This is just too funny. Please I'm serious.
Why is it doing this. Where is the setting to fix this it is major annoying.
Ps for the slow to catch on. Shipping is supposed to be a curse word. And funding is too.
Lol its just so funny. It's like my phone is a born again Christian all of a sudden. It used to curse like a sailor

Have you gone into settings> language and inputs> click the settings icon to the right of Samsung keyboard> predictive text-click it to turn it off
Yea I did it. And I don't want it to stop it completely. I just want to add words to the phones internal dictionary I guess. I just can't figure how.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
Not sure what's up, personally prefer Swype, you can type out the word, tap on it and add it to your dictionary...played with the samsung and couldn't figure it out either...it says it will learn the words and phrases you use most...guess you just have to keep trying...
I'm not sure what you mean as the Samsung keyboard does not have auto-correction. Whatever I type is what it sends. I know that there is prediction, but that is only if I click on the predicted word, then it will choose that word or else if I type "lets" it won't automatically change to "let's". If there is an option to do that, I would love to know where do I turn it on?
Just type the word a pick it from the list it wont auto correct but use the word enough it'll show up in prediction area, not sure why you think it's auto correct

Ok so this is just an annoying pet peeve...but as one example, I often mistype the word "just" as "juat," and I've never clicked to save the word or have in my personal dictionary, but now the keyboard autocorrect stops changing "juat" to "just." Other words included are "thks" for "this," "garvage" to "garbage" and "lll" to "lol." To clarify, thks problem comes with the LG Optimus keyboard, it's not like the standard/stock ice cream sandwich one. Not sure exactly how to describe it...I included a picture.
Just wondering if anyone else had this issue as well...not a dire hazard but it's extremely annoying. If anyone has experienced this, what did you do? Again, these words aren't in the phones dictionary, they actually come up as spelling errors and are underlined in red while composing text.
Thanks!!

If you check Settings<Language and Input<SpellCheck, you could disable that. I believe an option to see the contents of your personal dictionary are there too. Just in case you accidentally added those words.
I myself am a sloppy typer, often missing letter in a word, so I've found that the stock 4.2.2 keyboard that Google offers in the play store, has a better correction engine. And it offers swype, which is convenient with our huge phones! I'd also look into Swiftkey as well, as that is also an amazing keyboard I've used with previous phones, although it adheres to a more rigid correction system. Just my two cents!

Unfortunately, I did not see the option for "SpellCheck" unless it is somewhere else. The issue I'm having is not with the personal dictionary, as I have checked in there and there is no entry for such words as "juat" and "thks." The issue is with the actual keyboard and how it corrects, because right now it is failing to correct some of these errors I make. The system does not recognize them as correctly spelled words, but the keyboard still lets them get through. Not sure if there's another remedy for this
does any one know how to export/extract Swype keyboard user custom dictionary ? or atleast to locate it/them on the phone ?
I want to migrate to Touchpal keyboard but I dont want to start inputtting all my words manually again. I already have a huge list which I have been building over a long time !
Touchpal keyboard is very nice and I highly recommend it to try it out if you guys dont know or havent used it they even have tablet edition by the way link
I'm also very interested in this topic. Nobody here with a hint how this could work?

I just sent an Support ticket to Swype asking if there's an option to export/import words of/to the user dictionary of Swype and additionally asking if there is a general problem with dictionaries bigger than about 1300 words. Swype worked miserable for me as my dictionary grew this big. I had to manually delete words to solve this probleme and I was quite a bit annoyed...
yes me too, I think I did contact them about a year ago. they said no. if they do help you let me know
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
The support answered me, that the export is not possible and thats really bad.
The import is annoying but no big thing. Just make an long txt file, one word a line. You can't import all the words at once, but if you mark about twenty of them and then long press the Swype key you will be pretty quick importing 1200 words - what I did in about 20 minutes or so.
