Hi all,
Is there any way to "batch edit" the user dictionary?
I want to add a whole list of words, even an entire new language, without having to do it word by word via settings->language and keyboards->user dictionary.
I want to do this because I often text and type in 2 (or more) languages, so I don't wanna change the phone locale.
Thanks for any help.

Hi
This may sound like a stupid question, but does anyone know how to add words to t9 dictionary which do not exist.
Any help would be great
Thanks
I use 'Word completion dictionary editor'. It's very simple to use...
Hi all
I've installed the Word completion dictionary editor, and I can see there the new words I typed, but those new words do not appear, as sugestions, when I use the "phone pad" input method... but if I use the standard keyboard input method those words do appear as sugestions.
Any clues?
Regards, Antonio
Hi, This is my first post so go easy on me....
So, lately, my T9 is getting full of words that i accidentally have misspelled... For example, every time i write the word don't, the word font is displayed on the screen. It's really annoying
I Have looked under the keyboard input setting, but the only setting that is useful is the option to delete all of the dictionary that i have added.
I'm just wondering if there is a program out there that will let me edit my dictionary? I've tried a few, but, none of them use the existing dictionary of my HTC Elf.

Hey,
I've searched for the answer to this with fail so will just put it out there: I've got this lovely Swype app for my htc incredible, very usable & lightyears ahead of the stock keyboard. But there are waaaay too many words in the dictionary it's using that aren't typically used in U.S. English (maybe another country's English, ok). Too often - even with autocorrect off - it will pick a word other than the word I think I've carefully swyped, and it won't even be a recognizable word...
I've read in the tutorial that you can highlight a word then hit the Swype button & it will popup dialogue asking if I want to delete that word, but it's never worked for me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? If nothing else I'd happily go through that process of editing out unusable words.
Is there a way to go into Swype's dictionary, maybe even by accessing it via the SD card somehow, and using a text app to go through Swype's dictionary and edit it to my liking?
The answer to this is already on the Swype tech support forum.
There is no way to edit the stock dictionary or the user dictionary.
Highlight word and press Swype key only removes words which you have added to the dictionary. To add a word, simply type it letter by letter and press spacebar afterwards.
Swype works based on previously-chosen word frequencies. If you swipe a certain combination which could be several things and continually choose the one word, that word will become the most likely selection over time.
Sorry for the noob question:
Whenever I type something that is not in my user dictionary (such as an acronym or name) it will change the word or give me the option to touch the left-most suggestion which is the actual word and add it to the dictionary. I understand this... but sometimes I just want to type something that will not likely ever be used again, and I don't want it added to the user dictionary. Can I do this without it automatically saving the new word?
Also, I'm a little confused on the difference between word prediction, word completion, and spell correction. Can someone explain specifically what each one is doing?
if you tap on the text entry box, it will cancel prediction for that word and just leave what you've got without adding to the user dictionary.
As for your second question, I thought they were all aspects of word prediction... i.e. it is predicting that you are going to type this completed word, or it is predicting that you meant to spell it this way... all parts of XT9
Im beginning to get frustrated with htc interfering with some words i type, mainly it has lol in capitals like LOL, and a few acronyms i use, names etc keep getting replaced regardless of how many times i add them to personal dictionary. So i want to remove some of the words form the built in dictionary if there is any way
yup...
settings -> language & keyboard -> touch input settings -> personal dictionary -> edit personal dictionary -> (menu) delete
and select the words you want to delete.
Also if you want to override some of the words, you just add them to the dictionary, or I think you can just edit it in the dictionary.
Thank you ver much for the info.
Thanks for this, I saved some words which I wrote wrong accidently, and they kept coming up when I wanted the correct spelling.
I know how to remove words from the personal dictionary, I'm on about trying to remove words from htcs built in dictionary for auto correct
