I'm not crazy about the default JB virtual keyboard. I'm used to the Swype keyboard on my Samsung GG phone. However, I can imagine that the default might work better in some contexts and don't really want to replace it. Is there a way to add Swype and possibly others and use a setting to select which one to use?
Using your N7, Login to your beta swype account and download the Swype for the N7.. works pretty good.

But if I install Swype can I use some setting to choose whether to use it or the default?
When you have multiple keyboards, you will see a small keyboard in the notification area when you are using a keyboard. That will allow you to select which of the multiple keyboards you have loaded to switch to.

Also you can drag down the notification bar whenever a keyboard is up and choose Choose input method to choose between Swype, the default, and whatever other keyboards you've install. You can also choose to hide keyboards from the list in that settings menu.

I've tried swype and swift key' but have gone back to using default. With the other keyboards, text prediction doesn't always show up in certain text boxes at least for me.

Hi All,
For some odd reason all of the sudden Voice Input (speech to text) feature disappeared! I cannot find the little microphone in the keyboard. Also swiping across is not activating this feature.
I would appreciate any help.
thanks
Hold down the '?123'<keyboard settings<voice input (make sure it's checked)
That option doesn't exist. I was testing few keyboards and i wonder if i have un-installed the original one !?! When i go to input method i see "android keyboard". should it only say keyboard? sorry for my stupid questions.
If you literally hold down the "?123" key for a couple seconds a pop up will appear that gives a choice of input
Method or keyboard settings, hit keyboard settings.

I have installed HTC_IME Keyboard and the icon does appear now on the keyboard. However, nothing happens when i click it.
I don't believe the feature works with the hacked HTC_IME keyboard.

This is an "Input Method" and must be enabled in the Language & Keyboard Settings.
English Only!
Free version without word completion is also available!
Recent changes:
Version 1.0.17 GA
(both versions)
- Adjusted key alignment on symbols keyboard.
- Added launcher app that gives install instruction.
What's Next (if possible) from Mrcartagena
- Allowing users to help improve auto-complete dictionary if they choose.
- See if I can integrate live translation of input fields.
- Voice input option from the keyboard
- I'm considering disabling word completion in the free version entirely.
It seems to cause the users quite a lot of confusion.

Hi
Downloaded & installed the gingerbread keyboard for non-rooted devices from xda (gbkb-en.apk).
The install appeared to be successful & i've been into keyboard settings & ticked the box, but still uses the 2.2 keyboard. Tried a restart but no change.
As mentioned, un-rooted & on 2.2.1 os.
Any ideas?
Figured it out, feel free to call me a spaz
You forgot to long press on a text input box to switch keyboards ......... you spaz lol

Had the same problem. Did you install the one from the market, or from here? I think i have the one from the market, and it's working just fine now.
I use the Steven Lin one which works nicely.

For anyone interested in trying it, go to this QR code and then scroll down in the market to the Free version in the `Related' apps section. If you like that you can opt to get the paid/donate one at any time. A couple of screen shots here.

This iWnn IME bundle contains the default Japanese language input method provided with the Nexus 7 tablet. While the software was originally released for JB, it appears to work well in ICS/CM9 and the keyboard display scales well between tablet-sized and phone-sized displays. Let me know if you have any issues.
FEATURES:
Predictive text
Kana-to-Kanji conversion
10-key and full-key layouts
"Flick" text input
System-wide font-based emoji display/input (usable in any app, but may lack the expected colors)
Default layout is fully ICS/JB themed, and comes with additional "white" keyboard theme
No network access required
INSTRUCTIONS:
Reboot to Recovery (CWM, TWRP, etc.)
Install iWnnIME.zip
Reboot to System
Hit "Thanks"
That's it!
The keyboard should be automatically checked in the "Language and Input" Settings menu. You can activate the keyboard by holding down the space bar on the default keyboard, and selecting "Japanese iWnn IME" when the "Select input method" dialog appears. If you wish to return to your default keyboard, hold down the "moji" button and select "Input Method" in the "iWnn IME Menu".

You can push them to your system dir with adb.
Works like a charm.

I'm still not able to change it, I'll get in this menu where if I click on any of the keyboards I'll get in their settings. And if I click on manage keyboards I can activate or deactivate them, not change the one that I want to use
open your text messaging app or something that requires you to type, bring up a keyboard and select change keyboard by tapping the icon in the bottom right of the screen.

If you have activated the Moto Action>One Button Nav, the keyboard icon will not appear. One Button Nav removes the black bar at the bottom of the screen that displays the on-screen buttons for Home, Back, etc. and you use the fingerprint sensor gestures instead. This gives me a bit more screen real estate. You must disable One Button Nav, then the keyboard icon is visible. Once I changed keyboards, I reactivated One Button.
