If you long press a word from the suggested words of the Samsung keyboard, it asks if you want to remove from the learned dictionary. But you'll notice words that you remove will still be there next time around. The default dictionary has a lot of seemingly fake and misspelled words.
(I'm talking about the dictionary built in on the phone vs the user dictionary)
Bump
You could try to remove cache and data in the samsung keyboard, in app manager

All of my other Droid devices are part of Verizon and have pre-defined user dictionaries for the auto-correct while typing. The A7 only pulls words that are in my Contacts. When checking the Dictionary in Settings it is empty, but allows me to add words separately (ooomph). Is there a downloadable dictionary I can import to help with my auto-correct?
I've rather enjoyed not fussing with many of the corrections that take place when I don't want then to, but I think it is time to look for some typing backup from the A7's on screen keyboard.
SwiftKey
Downloaded SwiftKey (free app of the day on Amazon) and it has a dictionary of words and a sweet interface for keyboard use. Highly recommended on the A7 and took care of my auto correct issue.
Is there any way to stop new words automatically getting added to the personal dictionary?
I'd like to know that, too.
And, if I may add - is there a way to edit the "system dictionary"?
Long press on a suggested word in the keyboard app does indeed show you an option to remove that word, but for some reason, some removed words will magically re-appear right away. So you can delete wrong words and re-add them (correctly written) all you want - the phone will always go back to what is in the system directory ... at least, so it seems. For me, I'd rather have my phone suggesting most of the addressing pronouns (not sure what they're called in English) starting with capital letters, but, obviously, my phone knows better ...
Using the stock keyboard and I have a few ridiculous "words" that it has learned somehow. Any time I type out the word "not" using LG's path input (like swype) I get the word "nit". At no point have I ever typed it out manually or used this word. I've tried long-pressing the suggested word above the keyboard, looking in the custom word dictionary, etc and I can't find out how to get rid of these annoying "words". How do I remove them, or can I?

Click to expand...

Go to settings, language & input, LG keyboard, additional settings, clear word suggestion history. Follow screen prompt.
Hello,
I like the G3's keyboard, but I can't seem to disable the personal dictionary. I don't want it to save every word I type. Is there a way to disable this and still keep the built-in word prediction without personal words?
Thanks!
So I must have at some point added the word "yoy" to my personal dictionary accidentally, and now my phone prefers it over "you." Problem is, long pressing on the word "yoy" on the list of suggested words above the samsung keyboard doesn't give me the option to delete it like many other words have. How do I get random fake words I accidentally added out of my dictionary?
If it matters I'm using the latest verizon OTA, samsung keyboard, with swype. Any other info you need I'm happy to provide. Thanks!
try Long Press on the word when it comes up as a suggestion and then you should be able to delete it as a 'learned word'
OR
You can try "Settings - Language and input"
Select Samsung keyboard
Select Predictive text
You can disable it completely, or disable Personalized data, or maybe Clear personal data and see how that goes.
Horrible answers and a terribly frustrating keyboard. I'd love to burn my phone as a result of the horrible dictionary included. Note to the Samsung team that built this dictionary: go hinge, obviously you have no idea what you're doing.
