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?

I thought I saw it in portrait mode yesterday. Must have been dreaming. Its pretty poor cant help thinking how polished the software was on the Desire.
+1 smart keyboard pro rocks
Trying to change the languages available for the keyboard, the rom I use now only has English. Can anyone point me to where the additional languages are stored?

The new jellybean pro keyboard in the market now has a number row option...the spell correction is head and shoulders above the stupid Samsung keyboard and there are tons of customization features. Figured I would let you guys know.

what so special about that?
many 3rd party keyboard have number row.
AI Keyboard has it, Thumb keyboard has it too but also "micro" key. example, you can set it by press one key and it automatically type your email address.

I just installed this on my Note 1. Thank you!
I searched the Internet for a way to add words into the dictionary. But all I found was advice to switch to another keyboard. I already have swift key but I don't want to part with the handwriting feature on the stock keyboard. So if anyone has a mod of the Samsung keyboard that has Auto correct and the ability to add words to the dictionary, please link it here.
