Is there any way to delete words from the swype dictionary because there are a bunch of typos swype makes with certain words for me like whenever I try to input the word you I get thou.

Type the mispelled word, highlight it and touch the swype symbol.
DK28 Swype is not that good DI18 isway better at predicting words without givimg you 4 word choices.

Sorry, just reread the post, I don't think that will work with legit words...
from what i have learned any words that are added you type the word such as (anf) should be and. then tap the swype key twice and it says to delete the word.

That only works if it's a word you yourself added to the swype dictionary. I have the same problem as the OP, in that there are a bunch of pre-programmed words that pop up a lot even though I never use them and I would like to get rid of them because they block the real word I want from coming straight through. I do not know any way to get rid of these, but maybe someone responding will.
Another option is to go into the swype settings and change the speed versus accuracy settings.

I have found that on the Froyo.zip my swype is less accurate then it was on the Eclair it came with. I am also rooted and have backup with titanium backup and clockwork, and also have no GPS aswell. SInce there seems to be no real froyo release out there ive stuck with it, but i get glitches all the time. I do love the features FROYO brings that i have just dealt with the glitches, temporarily. I may have to do a clean wipe and then reload

i just got my a hd2 from tmobile yesterday. im very happy with it beside when i try swype, i can only swype one word at a time.
when i try to type with swype the word only comes out when i let go of the screen. no matter what i do the second word won't show up. i played around with the settings, master reset the phone, i even try install a few different swype cab that i found here. nothing works. i made sure the auto space in the setting is on. can someone please help me?
You have to release the screen? how else will it know the word is ending?
yea, you gotta release, no second word. I found it also speeds things up overall to tap 2 letter words.
So you want to type the entire message without removing your finger from the screen between words? Think about that for a second...
I thought you can keep swyping with out letting go of the screen and it will auto space for you

it auto spaces when you swype the next word
when i swype "whereareyou" nothing will come up I have to swype "where" let go and swype "are" then let go and so on
I thought you can swype the whole sentence without letting go and it will auto space between word for you. thats what I saw in the video
isn't that the way it's always been?

i cant do that!!
You obviously didn't pay attention while watching the video . Watch the first video from here http://www.swypeinc.com/tips-tricks.html and it clearly shows that you swype one word at a time. Swype would need to be a hell of a lot more sophisticated to do full sentences in one go, may be in the future it will be able to do this but not now.

Ya, you can't cause you're not suppose to. That's not how swype was ever meant to work. It's suppose to be one word at a time.

I doubt it...with the error-correcting that it so beautifully uses now, whole sentences would definitely not be selected accurately.
To Swype whole sentences in one go, they'd have to take out the forgiving error-correcting, which would necessitate more accurate Swyping, which would slow you down, which would make Swyping whole sentences not worth it.
Lifting your finger [off the screen] isn't hard.
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong location, but my Swype no longer auto spaces correctly. Rather than adding a space every word, it has started to add a space every 2 words. I now have to hit the space bar after every word I type. I have reinstalled Swype and it still has not fixed the problem. I have done a search on XDA and the net and still cant find a solution. Any thoughts from you guys?
I have the same problem. It's what made me stop using it. The only way mine would fix (and I know this sounds weird) is to delete all my messages. I moved on and now I'm using Resco Keyboard. Much better than the stock kb.
Yeah I ended up doing a hard reset because I was having so many problems with the phone. Now everything is back to normal. I might check out Resco Keyboard.
Why don't you switch to the latest version of Swype? It's great!
v3.19.20.20.6343
There is a small issue with Auto Spacing not working with HTC Messaging and Twitter. That can easily be fixed here.
Believe me, there is no on-screen keyboard that holds it's own in a contest with Swype. This thing is what got me off Hardware Keyboards.
swype never works for me!!! haha

the dll didnt work on my tp2 to fix the errors
That's because it's not for the Touch Pro 2...you are in the HD2 forums...
Is it just me or are you guys also realizing that swype is absolutely horrible on the htc aria. The aria has too small of a screen to be able to use swype well. Whenever I drag my finger to the next letter i cant see if im on that letter because my finger is over it and the screen is so small.
Just wondering what you guys thought about swype on the aria
Love it on the Aria. I am used to the small screen though, from my htc magic.
Sent from my HTC Aria using XDA App
its not bad... i had it on my htc pure and the screen was also small, but i had a stylus on that which made things a lot easier.
I see what you're talking about. Fortunately I know where the keys are without seeing them so this isn't really a problem for me.
Love Swype on Aria, the point of using Swype is you don't need to look at the keyboard to type fast, which means you do need to know the position of the keys. I don't think it will make much different with a bigger screen since my thumb will still cover the keys I'm trying to type.
My only complaint about Swype is that you give up the voice-type feature when you use it. They really ought to reincorporate that feature, since it's nice to be able to take notes when I'm mumble, mumble, COUGH driving COUGH.
There. Now I've gone and done it. I've made Oprah hate me.

Corporate Dog
EDIT: Oh. I forgot. I actually have TWO complaints.
I HATE how the recommended words pop-up is implemented. If I'm typing 'Bioware', and Swype recommends 'beware', I'd prefer it if my closing of the pop-up meant, "No. I don't care for any of your suggestions. Keep what I typed, as I typed it." rather than, "Accept the top recommendation."
I know there's a user dictionary in my phone, and I've certainly added to it, but I'm constantly using non-standard words.
They put the microphone back in the latest beta, which they closed like 3 days after they opened it.

Same here.
It does get annoying from time to time, but I find it much easier than the standard keyboard. Especially when typing ridiculously long words which swype seems to pick up without a hitch.
Yea, I find the lack of a microphone shortcut annoying, too. Since I use Swype with my index finger, I don't really have a problem with the screen being too small. Swype is supposed to be able to correct for errors, anyways, but I have seen the correction fail at times. Swype is still more accurate than voice, anyways, and you can always resort to typing it out if Swype doesn't recognize it, which I think makes it better than voice. It would be amazing if voice worked perfectly, though, I'd never have to type again.
Hi! I just had a quick question about the keyboard on the 1.2 devices. My wife has been asking me to find her a better keyboard for her MyTouch, saying that her current one sucks and she wants one that doesn't suck (I don't know what that means either).
So, what is the best keyboard for the 1.2 still on android 1.6?
probably "better keyboard"
Smart Keyboard Pro
I like it but it is very similar to the stock one. What complaints does she have about the stock keyboard?
My personal favorite keyboard would have to be swype. Coming in at second would be the HTC keyboard
I love the stock keyboard, second would be the HTC keyboard (attached.)
I downloaded and installed Better Keyboard. But it's doing weird auto corrections like when she types "no" and then hits space, it inserts the word "nothing" or "yes" inserts "yesterday". I turned off the auto correction and that "fixed" the problem, but then there is no auto corrections...
I'll install the HTC keyboard and see what she thinks.
Her complaint is that when she types really fast, some of the letters don't register (probably because of the no multi touch?)
Swype might be a good option. I'll try that
Thank you for the comments

With which one? The swype?
So when i had my stock htc keyboard befote i rooted i loved it. It knew what i meant to type, made the correct suggestions and the most accurate autocorrects. Then i flashed the gb keyboard when i was using warm. It was a big step down in terms of prediction and auto correct but still worked. However now that i am actually on a gb rom, evokings gb v8 (evervolv), everything has just stopped working and its driving me NUTS. it doesnt auto correct, doesnt predict and fimish my words for me, doesnt input a period after two spaces. Let me give you some examples. If i accisentally type looj, why the hell wouldnt it turm that into look? Note the above errors in that sentence that i didnt even mean to type that it shpuld have easily corrwcted. Before when i typed prob, it would turn that into probably as soon as i hit the space bar. Also it would do punctuation ofr me, like turning doeant into doesn't. I have double checked all my keyboard settings. Its taking me like 3 times longer now to type a mesaage because i have to go back and correct all the minor errors. What changed and why doeant the keyboard work how it should? Somebody please help me out

Did you manage to get around this issue? Have the same problem on my desire. And to make matters worse my typing seems to be getting worse with every passing minute :-( it is becoming practically impossible to type in portrait mode. Is there a keyboard recalibration setting somewhere?

I've switched to go keyboard. It's doing a decent job but don't know how safe it is to use this keyboard. It can record key strokes and there arent too many reviews either

Does this only occur in the browser?
