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

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.

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.
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.
I have several words that I would like to delete.
Also, is there a way to use a word without using the suggestion and NOT automatically save it to the dictionary?
Any help is appreciated!

Perfect. Thanks so much
"you have to do this through your keyboard settings.. if you are using the default keyboard
go to Settings > Language and Keyboard > touch input settings> User dictionary
There you will see a list of words it has saved. Click on any word to edit it. To delete click on to edit and simply clear out the word and hit save. If you are using a different keyboard, like Swype or Swiftkey, you will need different instructions."
Hey so I added some words and now I kind of want to remove them. Is there any way to remove words from the dictionary that you added?
Settings> language and input> personal dictionary. Select the words and then delete them.
oh i swear i've never seen that before thanks!
