Ok let me start by saying sorry if this is in the wrong forum but i didnt see an App section in the main XDA screen.
Also let me state that I searched but only found a way to add words if rooted, which i am not.
Just wondering if anyone has run across a way to add words to the Swype dictionary? I think i managed to do it once by accident but not being able to Swype things like curse words or even something like "haha" is bothering me.
I read in the swype help section that to add a word to dictionary just spell out the word normally then hit space. Swype auto adds the word to its dictionary. To remove a word just highlight the word then hit the swype function key and it will give you the option to delete word from dictionary. This has worked for me.

ok i will try that, its weird though i read the options menu but maybe i missed that part.
Thanks!
ahhh i figured it out, jeez im slow. Just type the word in the box and long press, it gives the option to save to dictionary.
mods you can close this!

Does anyone know if theres a way to keep the keyboard from automatically popping up when you tap in a text field? I'm using L26 v12 ROM w/ the full qwerty keyboard.
I know this has been answered in the past, by me, as a matter of fact. But since a site search did not yield the original thread/answer, here ya go:
With the hardware keyboard out, tap into a text box. When the onscreen keyboard pops up, hit Space on the hardware keyboard. From now on, the onscreen keyboard will not pop up until you tap the icon for it.
Excellent!... and quick too.
Actually I don't use the site search, I used google w/ xda as one of the search parameters. This might have been a case of not using the correct keywords in the search...
Either way that did the trick - Thanks

hmm, learn something new every day. I must have missed it when you posted this before. i'll drop that knowledge in the old brain tank and save it for later.
Swype is a incredibly awesome input method, i am addicted and i dont plan to EVER EVER LEAVE. But there are a few things that urk me about it.
#1 How come double tapping words only works in landscape mode to bring up the word choice menu?
If this was fixed, it would make my life and my #2 woe out of commission.
#2 Is there ANY WAY to remove hard coded words in the swype dictionary like
"Dint", i am SICK OF SEEING THIS POP UP. I want to type dont and 90% of the time it is dint. Yes, i know i can choose to type do not, but... its the fact of the matter here.
These are just the 2 things that are really bothersome to me at this point. I would really like to have full access to the user dictionary instead of just words we added.
I think you can get to the user dictionary through:
Settings -> Language & Keyboard -> User dictionary
...Or swype over "d-o-n-'-t" with the apostrophe. Problem solved, plus people will think you're even more intelligent than they do already!

that just accesses the android user dictionary not the swype one.
I agree that the it needs more control over the user dictionary. Sometimes it keeps coming up with really unusual words ahead commonplace ones. It also frustrates me that every time I update the android OS I have to reinstall swype and none of the user settings or custom words are saved. I have to start from scratch each time.
Ya, I'm used to spelling "dont" and having the phone auto correct it to "don't". With Swype, I have to use the apostrophe to get it to recognize the right word.

Hello,
According to the swype developers, the double click feature for word selection is something that require OEM integration - which is why the beta version lacks it. In landscape though, the text entry box is actually part of the Swype object, which is why in that mode the double tap feature works.
Dictionary wise, all i know is they use there own custom one - Not sure you can really do much with in the official swype versions "/ Could always put a plus vote towards swype using the main android dictionary on there usersvoice account?

yeah, reinstalling is getting old lol, even my titanium backups dont restore properly. its probably so they can keep them in the beta status and expire at some point. i wish i could just buy it already and it would be in full release, i would easily pay 10-20 bucks for this.

All I do is select the word, or put the cursor into the word, then hit the swype key and that brings up the word choice menu

No chance, it is only going to be sold to OEM. It will not be on the market.
Kinda sad that we cannot access the dictionary. I dont see why the double tap correct works in landscape and not the other. Is there any developers out there that can change it, or are we not messing with swype anymore? The code is obviously there, and i know it would be something a TON of people that would want.
So occasionally when using swype I will come across a word that I didn't add to the dictionary that prevents me from typing the word I want. This normally isn't a big deal because accidentally adding misspelled wordsmto the dictionary isn't highly uncommon.
However, the same words have been showing up even after I delete them, and on different ROM's. The same words have appeared on licensed and standalone apk's that I have used of swype. Some of the words are "jarur" and "pau", and I find it really unlikely that I keep typing these exact words and then accidentally add them to the dictionary.
I was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem?
Also, is there anyway to directly edit the swype dictionary? Or do I have to just find the accidental words as I come across them?
Hi.
When typing (i'm mostly using the keypad keyboard, (to large hands ) whenever i see that there is an word not in the dictionary, i would like to add it, and in the same time correct whatever the phone allready has suggested..
Here's the thing... i can not find an easy way to do it... now i have to mark the word and press/hold to get the menu to add it to the dictionary.. this alone is a bit enoying, but if its a completely different word, and i correct it in the popup box, when i hit ok, it does not insert the word i just corrected, but leaves the word i originaly typed... so then i have to delete the word, and type again... this seems a bit unnessesary..
Anyone know of a better way?
Stock rom, stock LG keypad/keyboard
+1, i'd love to have the ability to import, say, text files and let the dictionary picks it up from that.
I DO want the word predictions, suggestions, autocorrect, etc features.
What I absolutely cannot STAND, as well as cannot phantom why they thought it was a good idea, is how the stock keyboard will replace a word you typed correctly with a completely different word it assumed you "meant" to type, even when both words are in it's dictionary. The keyboard options seem to be an all-or-nothing deal from as far as I can tell, either I disable any and all types of correction and prediction features whatsoever, or leave them all on.
Yes, I know there are alternate keyboards, but I prefer the stock one. Is there any way to disable only this feature?
Settings/language and keyboard/Htc sense input/advanced. Its right there at the top it says "Word Prediction",un check the box

I don't think that's the option I am thinking of. I am talking about how it will auto-replace the current word you are typing, even if it is spelled correctly AND in the phone's dictionary, by the word it thinks you MEANT to type. Not offering suggestions to what it thinks you are typing before you are done typing it, or autocorrecting misspelled words.
