Spell checker mystery. - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

I just discovered there is a "Spellchecker" option under "Language & input", but activating it does nothing, and clicking on the settings button next to it brings me to an empty screen.
What's up with that?

I think its for keyboards with extra spell check, e.g. Old google keyboards

If you type spel and click spacebar, keyboard should write spell.
Try it

Keyboard
I find SwiftKey being better than the default keyboard, you might want to try that out it has a nice spellchecker, it suggest you words by analyzing all of your SMS (and e-mail if you want to)

SGS3 CM10 emoji2 keyboard

OK guys! After doing some thinkering and testing a couple of keyboards, I couldn't find a way to enter emoji2 characters into messages app and Twitter or Facebook.
But... then I came across a keyboard app made for and app called Whatsapp (messenger type) that simply adds emoji2 to the app. So I decided to try it out and found out that it also works universally across the OS since I'm using CM10 and emoji support is added to Jelly Bean.
Tested: Facebook, Twitter, Messages app, Plume, and works great with iOS users.

Are you able to see emoji2 throughout the entire device?
Yes! You have to enable emoji support inside the messages.app/settings/extra settings, then you can use that keyboard or simply add emojis by pressing the menu key and insert emoji. Also add emoji for English words under the keyboard input menu.

Not bad keyboard, but you can you free one Go Keyboard. They have lot of plugins and in my opinion works better.
In go keyboard the characters does not show properly and in apps like twitter, they just won't show at all.

Google Now Commands
Google Now works with network (and GPS) on all the time. To activate, long press home button and 'G' point (the middle button), use menu and parameter, here you can active google now. You must also activate Search history in your google account or google now parameter.
After you activate google now, on parameter you have new entry for what to use.
Google now is a sort of assistant, he can show you the wheater based on your location, the next appointment based on the calendar, the next show, based on your internet search, and so on.
But there is no widget, so it's as useful as it's intend to be.
When i want to send email,,nothing,,google now just open google search with text ..send email etc...So how to send emails with voice?
Tnx
In fact for me works only google search with voice and weather card.

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
There are 2 locations I changed the language:
1. Go to system settings > Language and Input > Language > choose English US
2. When in Google Now press Menu > Settings > Voice > Language > choose English US

Try AIVC (Alice) from google play its free it works exactly the same as s voice but I think its much better it does what your after and sends emails or sms or makes calls sets alarms checks weather etc all by your voice.
Just install it and double tap the home key to activate.
Anygood?

Swipe entry on 4.2

I've noticed some words just WILL NOT go in via swipe entry. Example... the word "nasty" always goes in as "may". Is there some way to train it or do I always need to enter the word individually.
I should just use nicer word.
I think the keyboard supposedly learns as time goes on. I also have trouble with a couple words. The keyboard just will not enter them.

If you manually add "nasty" to your personal dictionary, it works. I'm guessing the swiping dictionary differs from the auto suggestion dictionary, but both will learn to read from your personal dictionary.

I agree.. i think it learns.. but you can also manually enter words you keep missing!
I've manually added cuss words and it refuses to swipe them.

It has to be exactly on the button at first. But the keyboard learns from you and predicts the word you want.

Nope. I've entered it twice into the dictionary, still won't predict it.

App to auto insert email address or password

Is there an app that will insert one's email address into a field? I used to have a Cydia app on my iPhone that was named "Double At". If you hit @@, it would insert your email address.
If there is no app to do this, is there some way to add typing shortcuts ( "brb" for "be right back") that will allow an easier way to insert long strings of characters? I went into the settings for the LG keyboard but i didn't see anything that allows shortcuts.
Under Languages & Input there is Personal Dictionary that will allow you to add words and create a shortcut. But, I just tryed with be right back[brb] and it wouldn't allow me to save it... because of the Space.
However, I haven't used shortcuts and I'm not quite sure how it works...

I just tried what you suggested in the Personal Dictionary and it would not allow me to use the @ symbol.

Are you saying that there is a separate shortcuts screen that is different than the one in the dictionary?

Same here... maybe once bootloader unblocked, devs would be able to tweak that and make it more functional.

No. Az I type I get the word suggestions and pick from the list if I want. Now I saved the "brb" to give me berightback [no spaces] but it doesn't. I get it as a suggestion once I type "ber"... that's weird... I thought that saving words in the dictionary will override the learning or at least give the dic 1st priority... I guess not

Looking for keyboard app.....

I have tried out a lot of keyboards for my ATT Galaxy S3, and not one has what I want. I really don't care about the main keyboard, all of them are fine, but when you switch to the symbols/numbers page, I want the numbers in a 10-key design instead of a single row at the top. Anyone know of a keyboard app like this? I appreciate the help.
Swype has a keypad layout for numbers if you drag Swype key to the letter t (5).

SwiftKey

Swiftkey has the numpad layout. I believe it's also switchable to left or ride side in the settings.
View attachment 2518454
The only thing is it is $3.99 for the paid version. I personally think it's worth it. Over the course of 2-3 years it's something you use to text, email, notate, etc.
I went with they swype option for now, it seems to be what I am looking for, I just never knew it had that feature. Thanks for that. I will keep swiftkey under advisement, I haven't looked at it before now because of the price.
I used swiftkey for a while but it frequently forgot all the predictions, so I opted for Swype.
