HAHAHA wow i just checked it out.

It's actually Google and they been doing that for a while. Their reasoning is that speech-to-text is not exactly perfect so it is quite possible to interpret a normal word as a naughty one. So rather than display possibly offensive results they err on the side caution. Plus it's always amusing to have google tell me to go %$&*# myself.

Fun tip: add ".com" to the end of the censored word, and it won't be censored. For example, "****.com" is not censored.

Yea I totally agree with you.
Another good keyboard is SwiftKey X. Their predictions and auto correct has gotten really good. I mean good to the point where I don't really look at what letters I'm typing and everything still comes out great. I am also disabled, i can only use one hand, so SwiftKey keyboard X really and i mean really helps me out. Before that typing was a chore, or at least it felt like it. Now it's just great.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I've read few people talk about SwiftKey X.
I might have to give that a try, because I'm about tired of Swype, really. Words I've added to the dictionary still don't come up first, and I just get tired of for being fire, poor being pot, etc.....
Friggin' annoying
i applied for the touchpal beta like 2 days ago, and ive already heard back. supposedly its got FANTASTIC blind type style correction, AND phenomenal swyping. about to install right now!

Nifty Little Trick I Found

If You Slide Your Finger To The Left Of The Notification Bar
It Dims The BackLight And Slide It To The Right And it Brightens It
You Can Only Do It By Sliding The Top Of The Notification Bar
(Don't Slide It All The Way Down)
It Works On Stock (JFD And JI6)
Not Sure About Everything Else
You should read the sticky in my signature, you may be missing some other easter eggs.
I probably would have never noticed this, but it does work.
Running bionix 1.9.1 btw
Only works if auto brightness is unchecked.
Are you all serious? I that mans hard work in the sticky topic lol.

The Capitalization issue is usually a vBulletin thing - if you're one of the retards who type in all CAPS, it will revert to Capitalizing Every Word.

I don't like the fact that it doesn't have a dedicated number row. But who cares its for at&t lol.

Oh wow!! ATT breaks their trend of keyboardless phones. Think I might switch when I my contract is up as that was the major thing keeping me.
I know another friend will be happy to get rid of his keyboardless phone.
Hoping this confirms the Sprint model does NOT have a keyboard. It was unusable on the Epic, forcing me to learn to use the onscreen keyboard which I now find I can use much faster than a hardware keyboard, making the extra bulk pointless for me.

That's possible. They should probably call it something different than the S2 since its got a keyboard. Epic has identical specs as far as other Galaxy S phones besides the keyboard.

Sprint is rumored to EOL the Epic in Oct, so they dam well better have a replacement by that time, or they will have another pissed off customer!

Same here... a smartphone without a real keyboard just isn't a smartphone in my book.
Best rated comment from the site: "If you're just texting or IMing your friends then a virtual keyboard is fine. But virtual keyboards still make too many mistakes with autocorrect if you're using any kind of business specific terminology, especially science and engineering. Plus, the slide out keyboard lets you still have the whole screen available and not only 50-60% that's left after the virtual keyboard takes up its space. That way I don't have to do nearly as much scrolling for long emails or editing word documents."

I would agree with that if the keyboard wasn't as dreadful as the one on the Epic. It skips half the characters I type. That makes it essentially useless for me. Yes, it's definitely still useful for typing in odd things that autocorrect fights you on, but if I half to type at a quarter of my usual speed to do so, I'm not sure it's saved me ANY time. I'd rather see onscreen keyboards simply have a switch to turn off autocorrect on the fly.
Trust me, I was the BIGGEST hardware keyboard fanatic for years. I would not consider any phone without, and I was genuinely angry when every cool, high-tech phone skipped them. I was understandably excessively happy when Sprint's variation of the then-fastest phone on the market had a keyboard. But the reality of said keyboard was so disappointing that I was forced to learn to use onscreen keyboards and I've been happier for it. When the keyboard fixes for Froyo were released on the developer boards last year I was shocked to find how much slower I was typing on the hardware keyboard than I had become accustomed to on the screen. So I've moved on, and don't want the extra bulk I'll never used.
Now if that bulk was instead used for a bigger BATTERY I certainly wouldn't complain...

The voice to text is not perfect. deal with it like everyone else has, and maybe talk more clearly?
Talk more clearly its actually quite good an its just a error deal with it

Right, you should most defiantly type the text response while your driving down Interstate 19 at 70+ mile per hour. No way should you use the voice to text option ever to reply to a text or for that mater any of the other benefits that it opens up on your phone.

Have you people honestly never heard of handsfree? My car has built in blutooth handsfree. I push a button on the steering wheel and talk. It does what I tell it. From send text to call sister to read email. Get with the times people. Its no different than speaking to a passenger and actually safer than changing the radio station or cd track.

If its the rom, 'could' be AOSP, because I get the same message while on CM7, which is why I asked, and I do have Pico TTS installed already.
For people having problems, especially with the error "no speech input" be sure to install this:

install it and run iris, you will be all set.
