Is there any way to get the predictive text to suggest punctuation like the keyboard did no my old S5? Also how do I tell the keyboard to let me type "shop" without forcing the text to be "pshop"?
Additionally, I see no way to edit the personal library of words or to clear all the learned words since maybe it learned a miss type or 2.

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.
Hi Guys,
I was thinking about buying a Samsung Ativ S because my Android device isn't working correctly.
But there is one point which makes me thinking about staying with Android.
Therefore i wanted to ask, if there is a Swiftkey equivalent on WP?
Or is the WP keyboard also capable of adapting the predictions to the words i often type, even if i type some words in an uncommon way?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
It's quite capable of adapting to the words you type, although if the word is not in its dictionary (which is quite comprehensive, in my experience) you will need to add it manually (easily done). Correct the word (or undo an auto-correction) a few times and it will quickly learn. With that said, I don't know Swiftkey (and the keyboard can not *currently* be changed, although the ATIV S is the WP8 model that we're closest to achieving that with). It's quite possible that there are specific features of Swiftkey that you're looking for which WP8 does not provide.
Thanks for your answer. The cool thing in using Swiftkey is that if you are typing a word it is predicting the next word without typing the first letter.
Is it the same in WP?
And another question, does the WP messaging app convert a SMS to MMS after having more than 480 (three SMS) characters typed in, because that is a thing which, in my opinion is weird "feature" in a time in which nearly everyone does have a flatrate in sending SMS?
Cheers
The WP8 keyboard will offer auto-complete options for the next word based on what you've typed so far, yes. You need to manually select them - no just hitting Space, Space, Space to type the next three words - but it's very easy to do.
I don't know what the threshold is (I don't write long SMS very often, and for people who don't have unlimited SMS I use chat) but WP8 will combine sufficiently long multi-SMS messages into a single MMS, yes.
I speak a different language, not supported by any keyboard. Using google keyboard on my Galaxy S5, the new word would show in the suggestions as i was typing it, and I could click on it to add it to the library.
But now on the N6, I have to go through a long process that takes 3-4 steps just to add one word.
Any easy way to add words while I am typing?
Also, any way to save my added words library, or save the words through google? So in the future, I can just add the library of words in case I change devices, or wipe data, etc.
I do not find smartphones to be as efficient as they could be. I hate typing on glass for one. And keyboard devices get treated with horrid internals.
But my Blackberry Classic propels forward. I go to use my note 4 and cringe. It's rich in all areas but input, Can't use swipe unless you have predictive text on and it constantly "auto" corrects my words and misspell and swipe is better but still not ideal.
either way I'm getting to a point I don't even want a "smart phone" anymore. If you disable predictive text you lose ability to swype......pathetic! I said **** not duck! Or is not on. Etc I hate auto correct I hate samsung I hate qualcomm I hate google I hate lollipops I hate milk chocolate (android m) I hate society...............

If you want to say **** instead of duck save it to the keyboard's dictionary.
Try Swiftkey. The prediction is very accurate, the only times it misses for me is when I mess up, overshooting or sloppy swiping. It's a learning prediction engine, so any 'mistakes' you believe it makes will quickly be fixed. I have used it so much that Swiftkey can pretty much predict entire sentences, with variations. Most of the time I just type the starting word, and Swiftkey magically gives 3 suggestions for the next word, which one of them is the correct one 95% of the time.
For 'custom' words that get changed to 'duck', all you have to do is set spacebar completion mode to 'always insert a space' (In advanced options). Once that is on, if you find a word that Swiftkey autocorrects incorrectly, all you have to do is manually type the word twice, completing the words with the spacebar. Swiftkey will learn the word and swiping will correctly use that word from then on, and even use it in suggestions.
Also, predictive text is kind of required in order to use swiping, otherwise I am sure you would quickly realize a lot of words would be hard to type, such as 'apple'.
I find that when I try to use the handwriting keyboard with the S-Pen, it frequently does not recognize names that I try to write. Unless I'm very deliberate with how I write each letter, it often either changes to random words, adds spaces that don't belong, or completely gets the name wrong and just lists random letters or symbols. This is especially the case when I try to write people's usernames, which are often neither common words or common names.
I would have thought that the keyboard would start to remember when I correct it with the proper spelling of names, but it's not getting the hint. Is there some other way to train or manually enter new words and get it to be recognized by the handwriting keyboard? I feel like I never had this trouble with my old Note 3...
