[Q] Personal Dictionary - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The Personal Dictionary only Works with the ASUS Keyboard and I want it working with the Google Keyboard. Do anyone knows if it is possible?

+1 for this. Google keyboard used to let me save my own words but now it won't let me do that anymore.

Today it finally works in my ZenFone 2!
After the upgrade to Version 4.1.22127.2053724 Google Keyboard finally shows my personal dictionary in the place where it must be:
Well done Google and thank you for the update! :good:

You can add your own words to your personal dictionary so that your device remembers them. To add a word or phrase, including an optional shortcut, follow these steps:
Open the Settings menu on your device.
Under "Personal," touch Language & input.
Under "Keyboard & input methods," touch the Settings icon next to "Google Keyboard."
Touch Text correction.
Touch Personal dictionary.
Select the dictionary you'd like to add a word to.
Touch the Add icon and type your word and an optional shortcut.
You can also add words to your personal dictionary as you're using the keyboard by following these steps:
Type the word using Google Keyboard.
When the word pops in the suggestion strip, touch it. The screen will say "Touch again to save."
Touch the word again to save it to your personal dictionary.

Where can I get phonepad or T9 input program for Blue Angel?

Is there anywhere where I can download this? Is this a free utility?
Kinda difficult to use keyboard all the time (one handed).
Thanks.
first of all, most applications do support word completion (go to Settings, Input, Word Comp.)
start typing something in word and it'll give u a list of choices
But you're talking about dictionary words only. I'm talking about T9 input, just like doing sms on regular cellphones, but in this case, on the touch screen.

Tips for using 4.2 keybaord (like swearing)

One of the things that drove me crazy with the new gesture keyboard was it's inability to allow me to use curse words...
Settings ---> Language & input ---> Personal dictionary
Touch the + symbol at the top right.
Add whatever words you want and it'll start showing up in your gestures! Another fun trick is adding a word like "email" and giving it the shortcut to your actual email. When you type in email you'll also have the option to select your actual email address in the suggestion bar. This also helps with curse words that'll default over normal words... Add the regular word and shortcut the curse word so that you can quickly use it in the suggestion bar.
Thanks, now I can swear like a proper pirate again. Arrr!

Stock keyboard does the same for me with the backspace key. otherwise double tap and backspace?

Oh right this works. My biggest gripe with the keyboard is that it is not possible to correct a word in the middle of a sentence. For example, if i want to change a word in the middle of a sentence, I can't double click the word and see possible variations of the word. I have to select the word and retype it entirely.
How do you access all the emojis. There are only keywords for a handful of them but there are many more emojis compatible with android.

in my experience the mic icon is gone if you disable google now...
I'm missing the whole Google Keyboard from my phone in "Language and input > Keyboards and input methods". There is only Samsung keyboard and as I remember there was Google keyboard before.

That's not Google keyboard but Google voice typing input and I understood your problem I'll look around for a solution and get back to you soon.

No need to bother I saw that I have disabled Google Now (don't know when) and when I enabled it, as paco8784 suggested, it came back. Thanks guys.

[Q] multiple languages in keyboard

does the amazon keyboard allows it?
i could not find it anywhere. and i am really liking the keyboard, if it wasn't for that flaw. I usually desperately need 2 different languages for any text entry to be useful. ideally 4.

Hi,
I've got the Fire Phone and I use 2 languages, Dutch and English.
Go to Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard language and download the language you want to use, you don't have to select it if it's not the default you want.
Then when using the keyboard, long-press the space bar to change the language

No more personal dictionary?

So, is it just my phone, or is everyone else completely lacking a personal dictionary? There is no dictionary in the settings or LG keyboard settings, and even if you install the stock Google keyboard from the play store, there is no where to add words/shortcuts. Is this right? Cause that's pretty horrific that LG disables the Google keyboard dictionary/shortcuts and provides none of its own for you to add words.
PS, I know I can type in the word and click add, but there's still no place to add shortcuts, and no way to manage the words individually. I even have dictionary sync enabled in the latest Google Keyboard, but with no dictionary on the phone, it does absolutely nothing.
Click on word suggestions if it's checked.
LG Dictionary
You also need to click on the text of Suggestions to see the dictionary. However, when you open the dictionary, you still won't be able to create shortcuts. That function is blocked.
I'm not sure about the LG Keyboard (as I've uninstalled it on my phone) but, if you install the Google Keyboard, you can go to Settings>Language & Input. Next, click on the settings button for Google Keyboard and go to Text Correction. There you will find the Personal Dictionary and options to add shortcuts.
Hope this helps.
You can create a shortcut to the user dictionary for the LG keyboard using quickshortcutmaker. You can also use Google keyboard to make entries in the user dictionary with shortcuts that will then work with the LG keyboard.
It's now under Settings > Language & Imput > (your keyboard name ie: LG Keyboard) > Word Suggestions > Personal Dictionary
