I was curious if there was away to make swype have bubble letters when I am typing letters individually and not dragging through the word? I think I have seen other keyboards do that but i dont think I can use swype with them.
thanks for the help

after the update... although my screen is useless now.. i admit that the swype has improved.. so i'm begining to use it more now... but i can't get over at how many "useless" words are in the phone memory.. if i were to edirt swypes dictionary.. i would be able to make swype far more accrate... by disposing or deleting all the words that are incorrect or not even a word... any input on this?? is there a way to do it?
or to add words?

Adding words is easy. Tap out the new word and press "space" afterwards. Any new wiord you type out in this manner gets added to Swype's dictionary.

Hi!
I contacted the Swype crew regarding this, and they replied you can only delete words you've added to the dictionary yourself. (At least this is the case in the beta version). So basically you're not allowed to edit the built-in dictionary.
The deletion itself is done by selecting the word (doubletapping on the word, or by swyping from the Swype button to the Sym button, and then using the arrow buttons to select the word). Once the word is selected, pressing the Swype button (lower left in keyboard) triggers a dialouge box that will pop-up asking if you really want to delete the selected text.
This is also one way to ADD words that are not already in the dictionary.

wow. thanks tom!!!! youre the only person to ever answer one of my questions on this whole forum. i really wish you the best of luck in everything in life lol.. god bless you good sir
I really liked the way the autocorrect worked on the Evo 4G keyboard. Is there a way to turn that on for the Vibrant?
It would also be nice to have the key pressed pop up above the key when I push it (to verify i hit the right one without moving my eye) instead of just flashing blue under my finger where I can't see it.
I'm trying to figure out how to change these two things...at least mainly the autocorrect.
Regarding swype.... not to hijack a thread... I no longer see how you add a word for swype to learn like it did previously? Used to, you would just long press and add the word to your dictionary. Anyone know how to do this?
Whenever you type a word in manually and hit space to go to a new word, it learns it. You can access the tutorial in "Swype Tips" in your app menu. It goes over this and other uses. You'll add the "word" "bob4" to the menu in the tutorial.
I found the answer to my question.
Apparently I was confused
If anyone else out there is confused...
The default keyboard is swype and to get the autocorrect working similar to Evo, you need to go to settings, then Locale and text, then Set default keyboard and change it to android. If you change to samsung keyboard, you have to enable the auto predict text thing.
I've been trying out swype now though, and I'm liking it.
^^ yeah, I did that.... I guess I'm just used to longpressing and adding words to my dictionary. I have tried to type in a-p-p-s, but I can never get swype to do "apps" for me.

This clarified a lot for me.
I love my swype keyboard but I'm sick and tired of the library adding little corrections our appendages to words and then letting those add on block out the words I'm trying to type.
I want to know if there are any apps that allow me to open up my swype library and edit it I'm a list form.
As an example it would list all entries in the library in alphabetical order and allow me to delete entries that I don't need.

Great question, I'd love to know too
It doesn't even need to be swype
Specifically but a library editor in general

I believe each keyboard has its own user dictionary and they are not shared. would make sense if they were though.
when i encounter this, i just highlight the blocking word, hit swype logo on the bottom right, delete, and it never shows again...
This is one of the major reasons I switched away from SlideIT and Swype (to Ultra Keyboard, which so far seems to be using the User Dictionary).
You can only really use the select and Swype key delete method. Personally I thought it was easier to disable automatic addons and add words.
Great question. Been wondering the same thing for a couple of weeks. Those notifications that a word was blocked really slow down my typing.

Definetly ... And the creators of swype say ignore those pop ups until your done typing your message then go back through and edit everything ... only problem with that is that I have a short memory span lol and cant quite remember what word was meant to be there

I hope someone can figure out an app or some way to edit the swype dictonary. I really like swype and highlighting the word then pressing the swype button works just fine but i would like to edit the list of words in one shot.

Thanks for the Ultra keyboard mention. Tried it and love it. Better than swype to me. Maybe not as accurate at first, but has tons of features and I don't have to worry about that annoying popup box.
I wish there were a way to disable Swype from automatically adding words you type, but instead having an easy way to manually teach it words. A lot of stuff I type gets added and reappears later even if it was only a one time thing.
What keyboard are you using?
Google Keyboard
HTC Touchpal
Swiftkey
Other
i still use swype, mostly b/c i'm used to where all the punctuation is, and don't want to have to learn a new keyboard.
+1 lol Also I like the Swype shortcuts/gestures where yu can quickly capitalize, lowercase or ALL CAPS a word and also quick punctuation. Not sure if any other keyboard has this and it's a huge convenience.
I'm still trying to find one that don't put in a v or b when I press space. I have chubby fingers I guess. Or I'm getting old. I didn't used to have this problem.
