Samsung keyboard handwriting not working? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been trying to use the handwriting feature next to the space on the keyboard with the T. I am able to write in the space provided however nothing happens when I write in that space. Is this an issue for anyone else?

I have the same issue on a stock T-mobile note 5

It used to work for me and I think it stopped after the last update.
I use the alternative option by hovering over the text field with the S pen input icon and that way works.

I do use that method now, since Direct Input works. Is there a way to prevent the keyboard from coming up all the time? That's the frustrating part, the phone keeps pushing this keyboard at me and it doesn't work. I can draw on it, but it doesn't trigger any recognition.

I had to add the input language to my phone for keyboard handwriting to work. Even though the keyboard had English(US) as an input language I still had to download it for handwriting recognition.
I went through direct input window and tap held the language button until the options page popped up and downloaded english(us) for that. Then both handwriting methods worked for me.

Keyboard pad, Symbol pad and ??? pad

Another way of input? Recognition of hand writing ?
Yeah, the xperia has handwriting recognition enabled.
I think it's only for english and some other languages ( not too sure, but I have used english handwriting )
but how it switching on ?
plz make screenshot
Haha too lazy to take a SS.
In order to do it, when you're in Notes or something else, click on the software keyboard icon between the two softkeys.
When the keyboard appears, it has a white arrow next to it, click on that.
Once the list of keyboard options appears, you can either use "Letter Recognizer" which is better for regularily printed letters.
Or, you can use Transcriber, which is good to recognize cursive, numbers, and letters.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
Well, I did get the file for Tytn II some time ago, but it did not work on the Xperia. Don't know why. Installed and pretended to work, but could not recognize to "touch" on the screen.
It is a program built by Microsoft, I used english and french versions (on my last PPC). Personally I would guess that there may be a version for VGA phones, but have not tried to find it yet.
Point is that I've been tweaking my Xperia for only some 3 weeks now...

[App] Arabic Keyboard for WP7

This is a simple try to work around the lack of an Arabic Keyboard or input methods in WP7 phones.
It's a simple App that implements the Full Arabic Letters, with the (Tashkeel) Symbols to make it able to write in Arabic.
The Letters still lock disconnected when writing , but it gets parsed right when copied and pasted into search queries.
I have included a fast app bar button to quickly mark all what you have written for easier copy/paste experience.
The app still supports the English keyboard by tapping on the textbox itself. Tap anywhere else to get back to the Arabic keyboard.
it supports both portrait and landscape modes.
Here's some screenShots:

Just search for the app in the market place for Arabic Keyboard with this icon
This is the app link (it opens Zune directly)
Great . Thank you very much
I have just known that If I rebuild the app using the mango sdk, it will actually connect the letters, that's exactly what happened
I'm just curious about updating my marketplace app, if I updated it to mango , will the old wp7 users still be able to download and use it ?

You can upload 2 versions ... 1 for Mango & the other for Nodo
Your app is very helpful but it needs to be updated to connect the letters and to resume quickly without reloading the app and erasing what was written.
As you see now there are some apps that shows Arabic letters connected
Ex: Feed Reader and Whatsapp.
Most users are using Mango Now.
Please update it.
The mango version is already done, it just takes time to get validated from MS Marketplace...
I think by the end of the week it will be released.
Meanwhile, you can check my other keyboard that allows you to write in ASCII and ancient Greek

[Q] Voice Input doesn't work - see pics inside

I have enabled Voice input in Settings --> Language and Keyboard --> Samsung Keypad --> Voice Input.
However, when I press the "Voice Input" button in the keyboard, it shows that Voice Input is disabled in my phone. You can see the screenshot below.
I DID NOT install a custom ROM, all stock. My phone is ROOTED and I have NOT "frozen" any apps that I think is critical for voice input. You can see the list below of ALL the apps I have "frozen" using Titanium Backup.
Can anyone help?

FROZEN APPS LIST
I seem to have this issue as well but I AM on a Custom ROM and am Rooted, etc. Id also like to know how to fix this as I like to use this feature for "Talking to text", etc... Also, I am using SmartKeyboard at the moment but I dont think that has anything to do with it as I have used this keyboard on my SGSII as well (which was also running custom ROM and was rooted) and I never had this issue before.
Anyone?
***EDIT***
Hmmm... I went back into the Samsung Keyboard settings and unchecked then RE checked the voice input option and now it seems to be working...
Well i checked and i have exactly the same issue.. stock rom and rooted, mic crossed out just like OP...
edit: mucked about a bit, and finally read the manual?...doh!.. Once i started voice input by double press of the home button it all started to work..

So you can press the "microphone" icon in the keyboard and it works now? Or are you referring to "double-clicking" the home button?
What I am looking for is the 2nd paragraph above. For example, I want to use voice input to write email WHILE I have the email app open. With my Thunderbolt, I can do so by tapping on the "microphone" icon.
No one use the "Voice recognition" in the Note?

Weird issue with Gboard: wrong double tapping

Hi guys, I'm wondering if someone else is having this issue.
I have an S10+, navigation with gestures activated and no indicators.
The thing is when I use Gboard and I type the buttons on the bottom row (like the , for example) I get double taps. Only if I type them from the bottom of the button.
So I get ,, instead of , or two spaces instead of one. It's annoying..
I haven't detected this issue with any other app.
I have not tried gboard or swift in years because you cannot get rid of the toolbar. I only like letters and numbers when typing and dont use emoji's. Do either of them support to hide the toolbar yet and look like this?

I use the Google keyboard and I tried the stock gestures, ended up going with fluid navigation gestures instead. Works much better in my opinion.

If by "toolbar" you mean this (picture 1) then yes, it can be removed (picture 2). Just turn off "Show suggestion strip" in the menu (picture 3). You can also disable the Emojis from gboard's settings as well.
Am I the only one with this issue? Can someone try Gboard with no nav bar and no hints and see if this happens?
I'm using google zhuying keyboard, which is like the older version of gboard for taiwanese people.
I don't see any problems.
I would suggest trying a different keyboard and if it happens
It only happens with Gboard. But I like Gboard, this is the only issue I have with it.
Just figured out this also happens with SwiftKey. No one else is having this?

Try fluid navigation gestures. I use Google keyboard and FNG without any issues.
I'm using SwiftKey beta and creating an empty space under the keyboard. It was the only solution.

Question Spell Checker

Hi everyone.
I have an S21 Ultra, I'm new to Samsung.
I've been using Swiftkey for years, it's my preferred keyboard. It's also preinstalled on this phone (system software).
However, when I chose to use it, the system spell checker (red underlined words) doesn't work.
I've installed many other keyboards including Gboard, and they all work fine with the system spell checker.
Only Swiftkey doesn't work
I've contacted Swiftkey support, and they agree it's a system issue.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this? Has anyone else experienced this?
Samsung Keyboard, and/or Gboard, just aren't good for me.
Thanks.

Make sure it has all needed permissions.
The Samsung keyboard is actually quit nice and my favorite. Been using it for over 6 years. They wisely kept the original layout and added more options over the years.
Your animated and icon caused me mental distress.
Yeah I tried permissions, also because it's Swiftkey is preinstalled system software, most permissions were already enabled.
My understanding is the spell checker isn't part of the keyboard software, but the phones system software. That for some reason when using Swiftkey, the system's spell checker doesn't recognize text is being inputted. Just as it turns off for url, or form entry.
Yes Samsung keyboard is nice. It's like one of those Range Rovers, very plush, and pretty. But it's not for me.

Lol, a dancing honey badger is very disconcerting
Maybe scoped storage is road blocking access as usual.
The app may need updating.
On Android 11 and higher scoped storage is fully active... and a menace.
