I cant live without swype, does it work on GN2? currently i have sgs3 and swype work perfectly on it. No i do not like Samsung trace.
Also with multi window, does swype work on that also? (internet and messaging with swype)
Thanks alot
Yes swype works on mutiwindow, as swype is not a seperate keyboard now, its a part of stock keyboard
Also swype from the site works well

is this correct?
I've just installed swype keyboard free on my SN2, and when i am using multi window, and getting the keyboard out for typing and email, it didnt have that 'floating' keyboard feature like the samsung stock?
same goes for all 3rd party keyboards, that in the multi-window environment, if you are typing something, it'll just dock to the bottom of the screen, not able to 'float' to be able to move it around for easy view/type.
So I'd like to use apex launcher instead of the stock TW jedi launcher. I tried, and I end up having spen difficulties. When pulling it out, I don't get a shortcut pop up like I'm used to. Any way to fix that?
Also, I hate the keyboard. I'm so used to SwiftKey that I don't want to switch over, but I really do make use of the handwriting recognition.
Halp!

The stock keyboard *is* Swiftkey. Turn on "Predictive text" in the keyboard settings, and then click on the words "Predictive text" to get to the Swiftkey learning screen (learn from Gmail, FB, Twitter - it always learns from SMS). Kinda hard to find, but the stock keyboard works as Swiftkey for word prediction afterwards.
Also, if you use handwriting recognition a lot, from the keyboard setings, press on the word to "Handwriting" and try changing the "Recognition type" setting from the default "Stroke recognition" to "Complete recognition." You may find the "Complete" recognition much easier to use; I did.
The problem is, the stock keyboard isn't autocorrecting words. It'll provide suggestions of correct words, but it won't do anything if I'm off by even one letter. I can't seem to find a setting for this either. That's really the only thing preventing me from using it.
Ah, true, sorry. I can't find it either. I always had that option disabled in SwiftKey so I didn't notice that the option was missing.
I'm pretty quick to type so I always get typos lol. I don't even know why Samsung would even implement a keyboard without auto correction...

I assume your refering to Page Buddy. It a feature of TW and won't come up if your running another launcher.
You can go into settings>S Pen and click "Open Popup Note" it note will pop up when the S Pen is removed.
Hope that helps.
Yes I figured out the pagebuddy dilemma, guess I'll just add the widget if I really needed it.
As far as keyboards go, I still want to be able to use handwriting recognition, but that option isn't available in the standard SwiftKey as a toggle/button on the bottom like it is in the Samsung keyboard. I wish the Samsung keyboard would just have auto correction like all the others out there..

I'm in the same boat. I like SwiftKey, but it takes a lot of the functionality out of the S-pen. The stock keyboard isn't horrible, and the predictive type is actually pretty good, but it's not SwiftKey. The other negative is that SwiftKey predictions don't show up in notes, which ends up making it worse than stock.
What I would love is some kind of version of SwiftKey that allows for handwriting recognition.
I just wish I could make a space bar insert the correction on the stock keyboard. I like the number row, but am used to just pounding through typos.

I feel so antiquated. I still opt for t9 input over almost anything else.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

Haha, I can't even type with t9 anymore, I just tried lol.
I wish we could just get a keyboard with handwriting recognition...Samsung, what the hell were you thinking by not having simple autocorrect?
so I'm coming from using Swype on Gingerbread and loved it.
Now that I'm using the Note 2, I've been using the Samsung Keyboard and not liking it as much, but I really like that the numbers are on the keyboard at the top without making any other presses.
Swype/Swiftkey both make you press a button to get to the numbers.
What I would like is a combination of the number keys at the top + swype style for everything else.
Any suggestions?
I think Kii Keyboard is exactly what you're looking for.
It's a new keyboard, currently in beta. But it works extremely well and the developers are improving it very frequently.
Get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zl.inputmethod.latin
You can enable the swype features and number rows through the settings.
Enjoy!
Did I miss it or what? I couldn't find hand writing recognition.

Kii is pretty much just the 4.2 keyboard with customizations. Tried it, was nice, but nothing special.
I like the Swiftkey Flow beta myself. It was updated today with many bug fixes. Nothing like swiping out an entire sentence without lifting your finger or stylus. Working great!
Kii keyboard just updated yesterday, adding even more shortcuts to the keyboard, I would highly recommend it. It has both the swype functionality plus the number keys you are looking for. Plus I believe it's customizable user dictionary and autocorrect via space key make it leaps and bounds better than stock.

I think if you touch the Spen to the area that you want to enter the text, It will automatically enter the handwriting recognition mode. I know my device does this. I'm on chinese n7105 rom so that I can have multi window and wifi tether but I assume that most roms would have the same feature.
I was wondering what keyboard most are using? I purchased swype with dragon for my phone. I am not familiar with the Samsung keyboard. I know they have added the ability to swipe words now like Swype does. I also own Swift key. I was wondering if it was worth the resource cost to install and use Skype or Swiftkey on this tablet.

I've been using the (old) paid edition of swiftkey on my note 10.1 and my s3 phone for a while...however, finally discovered that, for whatever reason, swiftkey was causing serious lag on my s3. I did a bit of research and am now trying TouchPal X on both phone and tablet, which is free. I'm still getting used to it but really like what it offers so far...it let me resize the keyboard and font, has a swype-like trace function, predicts words really well and has lots of customisation options. The only thing I don't like is it creates a little toolbar about the keys which I would rather be able to hide, not a huge deal though. Would say it's worth a try - and if you don't like it, at least you haven't shelled out for it!
Hope this helps
I used to use Swype, way back on my Galaxy S2. But I now prefer the Samsung keyboard on my Note II and on my Note 10.1-2014.
I find using the keyboard for cursor movement is a better use of the swiping/sliding action than the swype kind of typing.
I use the SwiftKey beta with enabled number row atm. But I like the original Samsung keyboard as well although it has some annoying things like missing arrow keys and the pop up on holding takes way too long.
Another great alternative is thumb keyboard. Great customization options.
Thumb Keyboard. Great responsiveness and customization.

I really like the stock Samsung keyboard. I've tried Skype and it never got my words right. I tried the Google keyboard and it doesn't have the secondary key long hold thing that Samsung keyboard does...

Speaking of keyboard, how do users find the virtual keyboard(s) on the 10.1 2014? I read that the ones for the 12.2 would be a full size keyboard. How about 10.1 2014? Are the keys reasonably large and well spaced?
Until recently, the Samsung keyboards were crap. But the current Samsung keyboards are pretty good. I've tried Swiftkey and the the Google keyboard and prefer the Samsung keyboard over those.
Are there any good handwriting recognition (handwriting to text) applications that run on the 1NotePro 2.2? I haven't been able to find one that works.

Not sure what kind of app you are looking for. Keyboard? Notepad?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.visionobjects.notesmobile does an excellent job with handwriting to text in a notepad. Pricey, but it does exactly what it says it will do. They also make a great free handwriting keyboard so you can test out how well it reads your handwriting.

Looking for something I can use to take handwritten notes during meetings and have it convert them to text on my NotePro 12.2. Your suggested app looks like it might work. Wish there were a trial version. I'm tired of buying apps that sound good but don't do what I want them to.

This feature is already built in, as far as I can tell...I mean when I'm in a note taking app (any of them) or an office app, and I use the SPen instead of the keyboard, it opens a beige writing bar thing to write on. When I write, it converts that to text. Works like a charm...I take notes this way in SNote all the time.

You have two options. 1. Select the text input option so your keyboard come up. Then pull out your spen. If the keyboard doesnt become a writing pad the press the option key next to the spacebar and hold it until you can select a settings icon. This will take you to the keyboard settings. Then you can set the keybaord to detect the spen. From then on any time you remove the pen the keyboard will switch automatically. 2. Write normally with the pen in snote. Then select the lasso tool and surround the text you wrote and select the option that says transform. Then select text and it will convert it.

MyScript Notes Mobile, tried and work so far great.
People say sNote works what if you happen to use the OEM keyboard?
I can not use the OEM keyboard it is way too big and ugly on the other hand Swiftkey with a floating tiny keyboard is perfect.
Seems like MyScript Notes Mobile does exactly want pull out the stylus notes automatically converted to text.
$10 app maybe worth it.

What's wrong with Evernote that comes with the device?.. It also has 12 months premium included to store notes in the cloud... It recognizes the handwriting (even my russian one) with native keyboard...
What's the better for Notes Mobile?..
I am really curious.

Use MyScript Stylus Beta
If you are looking for a good "writing text" and conversion of this text, you need to try MyScript Stylus Beta (same creators of MyScript Calculator and MyScript Notes Mobile).
They point with this "keyboard" (replace the keyboard for a line where you write) is really one of the best (or the best) to d othis job and on top is free (ok ok Beta version but really in a excellent mature level)
When I tried to stock one, there was a pause during recognition. Which app is the best in terms of conversion speed and accuracy?
