I love the size and spacing of the Samsung Keyboard, but I really miss the auto-correct.
I've tried a number of other keyboards but they all have the keys too close together. I have Better Keyboard 8 with a number of Skins, a few Gingerbread keyboards, Swype (of course)...
Any ideas?
Sorry mods - wrong forum - can you move to Themes and Apps?
Samsung keyboard does have auto correction, you have to enabled it in settings, its called xt9, also go into xt9 advanced settings to enable other settings.
I use smart keyboard pro. Has skin to look like any keyboard plus the characters pop up so you can see what you're typing and it has auto correct

I would suggest using swiftkey, best keyboard ive used imo.
Stock keyboard isn't too bad with xt9 on, but current keyboard of choice is the thumb keyboard beta from these very forums. Worth a try.
Swiftkey is second choice for me though.

I like the "stock gingerbread keyboard" on the market. Works a charm and reminds me of my old HTC Hero.

Thanks for that suggestion for thumb keyboard just trying it out and seems very good, I can type pretty fast using this keyboard and it seems fast.

Thanks for all this advice. I've tried out Smart Keyboard and Swiftkey. I like that they both give clear options when I use voice input but what has sold me on Smart Keyboard is that it also has a Retry button after voice input if you don't find a match for what you dictated. I couldn't see that Swiftkey has that. Quicker than cancelling the entry and then clicking on the voice input button again.
Apart from that, I couldn't say that one is better than the other. I haven't done a lot of testing so I cannot say if one is more accurate than the other on finding the right words.

I have always used Swiftkey but Im not sure if anyone else has experienced the missing word correction/choices bar in landscape mode on same apps on the S2. Its there on handcent and messaging apps but not on the default email client. This was never a problem on my desire. Has anyone else experienced this?

Im coming from the Evo and was dearly missing the Sense keyboard. Got SwiftX Keyboard and it has pretty much made me happy. A little different then the sense KB, but very good, give it a try.
Go to market
search "gingerbread keyboard"
should be the first one.
after download, hit menu > settings > keyboards
enable gingerbread keyboard
go to somewhere where you can type. long press the message bar, hit "input method", choose gingerbread keyboard.
done.
GB keyboard is the best kb out imo. looks great works even better
Actually, the samsung keyboard is supposed to be a skinned version of stock gbread keyboard with a little feature tweaking. When I typed on it yesterday it seemed to behave exactly the same way.

I like how the stock gingerbread keyboard allows you to delete the entire voice statement without deleting it manually 1 by 1

Hey Devs,
I am not usually into themeing, I really like stock looks often.
But today while using the SGS III keyboard, I suddenly thought How awesome would it look like if the Samsung Keyboard had the same "finish" like the back of the device or the front near the home button.
Horizontal metallic lines - If anyone wishes to create such a theme, I'd be thrilled to test it
Bye for now
I would love a white keyboard like the one on tab

Try the SwiftKey beta 3 from their website. That has a blue theme and it is also a great keyboard. I haven't got my s3 yet but going by previous Samsung keyboards I guess it is a good option

Same to be said about smartbkeyboard pro.
I'm actually using the galaxy theme on my galaxy s3 but it it has many colours and a much better predictive text than the 'bouncy' stock.
Also tried swiftkey which was good but couldn't get used to the non standard layout

What Do you mean by the "bouncy" stock?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
The auto correct for the stock keyboard often changes the words especially shorter ones it abbreviates it with no way of saving your petsonalised words without going into the personal dictionary first
Example being every time I would type in MB or GB et it would place a full stop before it without giving me an option to do so. I referred to it as bouncy as I was constanlty going back and forth to correct the punctuation myself which sounds pittiful but is annoying when you can't type quickly !
The only thing I do miss about the stock keyboard though was that it had an integrated swipe function without changing it in the settings. Now that was handy for texting quickly when you only had one hand

So no takers? Thanks for the suggestions on the alternative keyboards but for those of us who actually "like" the stock keyboard is someone willing to take up the task?
It would be highly appreciated.
Topic. Just curious.
Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.
I keep switching between Swiftkey and AOSP keyboard. Swiftkey is nice but sometimes it finishes a word before I want it to and it adds something "working ng". It's somewhat annoying and the fact that you have to select exactly behind the entire word, otherwise it'll fix the word from everyone before the pointer. (for example, when I'm typing and I notice I spelt "tpying" wrong, I'll select the word by tapping and let's say I tap right behind the y, well, the prediction fix will say "typing" so I press that and it makes it into "typing ing", which is definitely not what I wanted.)
I like the simplicity of the AOSP keyboard although it's predictions aren't as smart as Swiftkey.
I'm still using the ics keyboard the response time is so much smoother than what I get from other keyboards plus voice recognition for texting so much better and faster. I tried swpye but it's get annoying after a while plus the default one with jellybean has no voice input feature I had to download the latest swype beta which is not all that great either. So I'm sticking with the ics keyboard for now.

Swype only here. Been using it since OG Evo.

Swype beta
As the title goes, which one do you guys prefer? After playing with swift today, I went back to Swype. I like it better. I am think that even the stock keyboard is nice, but the multitude Swype gestures available on Swype really make it powerful. Keep in mind that I use the Swype/flow functions in these, I almost never tap.

I was using SwiftKey on my Nexus and actually bought the app well quite frankly I enjoy it more than the stock keyboard.
Also, SwiftKey has a function called 'Float' which is essentially Swype. I still don't use it, but then just love the feel of SwiftKey. Not sure if this feature is available with the free version.

I tend to use SwiftKey on my Nexus 7 but I'm sticking with Swype on the phone. I've been using the Swype beta since the Vibrant and it's a bit difficult to get used to different swipe gestures.
SwiftKey Flow (now part of SwiftKey itself) is by far better keyboard than swype, than stock, than anyone. Period. The only one that maybe looks promising is fleksy, and I didn't tried yet, so by now, sk has the best word prediction, imho.

I wanna try the flow thing but I bought my swiftkey from Amazon a while ago and it's still on version 1.1.19. Anyone know if I can upgrade?
I'm back on Swype. I was using Swift key flow beta until it expired yesterday. I got a notification that said swift key corrected 175 of my typos. Actually, the typos were due to swiftkey's poor predictive text I would slowly drag my thumb over N...O...T and the word "not" would be in the predictive box, but as soon as I went to E (for Note), it would change and input the word "busy" .. delete...pound out letter by letter

I've had a couple of upgrades to my Amazon-bought SwiftKey, this week. Flow is now included.
Flow is pretty awesome Better than swype IMHO.
There's a reason I've used SwiftKey since the alpha. It was the best then and it's only gotten better over time, but I don't really care for the flow/swype stuff, it's not that accurate to me. But I did just use it to type this so it's not too bad on SwiftKey
noted for future reference on my Note 2
I've been using the paid version of SwiftKey for a couple years on my epic 4g, also tested the flow beta on my note 2 when I migrated over. On the Note I prefer Swype, I feel it's more intuitive, and its accuracy is better hence it's faster. I tried the recent SwiftKey update on the paid version that now includes flow, but I still feel it's not as fluid or accurate as Swype. I get 3 times the amount of errors with SwiftKey that SwiftKey creates that I don't get with Swype. I could care less about which one looks better. I prefer functionality over looks.

I like the numbers on top, without holding the keys, and hand writing compatibilities with S Pen on the Samsung keyboard. I love the arrow keys and ten keyboard on the SwiftKey.
When it comes between Swype keyboard and SwiftKey keyboard I would choose SwiftKey. SwiftKey is better in choosing the right words and has more features than Swype.
The only thing I would like to see in SwiftKey keyboard is numbers on top, without holding the keys, and hand writing compatibilities with S Pen. Then SwiftKey would be the most perfect keyboard.

Kii keyboard has the swype like functions, plus the top number keys and a great user dictionary. At the end of the day, it's my daily driver. Ymmv.
I like the stock Samsung keyboard. It has the swype feature.. Why download another app that does essentially the same thing?
