My S5 learns my mistyped AND correctly typed words, and stores them somewhere on the S5. I want to remove the mis spelled words within the Personal Dictionary, but I cannot find it.
On my Samsung S3, it was obvious how to edit my Personal Dictionary, but on the S5, not so much. I've tried to use Swift Key as a keyboard, Google Voice typing, Samsung keyboard, but none of them allow me to see the Personal Dictionary, wherever it is mysteriously stored.
Anyone know how I can edit this dictionary? As an example, my Personal Dictionary now includes the word " youre ", so every time I now SWIPE your, it chooses youre, not your. Examples abound, and I'm getting tired of it. I've spent a fair bit of time in the " Predictive Text " section, and I can clear all the Personal Data/dictionary, but that would clear all my learned correct words too, so I really don't want to clear everything, just the mis spelled words.

Hi all...
For the longest time I had been searching for a way to edit the word completion dictionary. As you're probably aware, the dictionary saves just about every word you type as long as it's 4 letters or more long -- and this includes misspelled words. Well here's a little app that can edit the dictionary. You can even add or edit the words.
Just be sure to "load main" every time you open the app and then "save main" before you close the app.
Hope you all find it as useful as I do.
excellent hesh, i hated manually loading it whenever i wanted to simple editing...
Thanks Hesh!!!
Thanks! Works like a charm.

That's a very good question.
Also, there's an app called Kai's ABC Editor. According the guy that wrote the app I posted, the dictionary won't save anything that's under 4 letters long, so you can't save "I'll" or "I'm". But according to Kai, you can save those types of words with his editor. His will cost you $8 USD though and can be found here...
I read the only review for it and it seems that it requires a soft reset after saving it. That's kinda lame. The reviewer suggests making a list of everything you want to add and adding them all at once.
Another good idea for this great app is to add all your contacts email addresses so when you create a MMS to be sent to an email address you do not have click on the 'To' to open the contacts and then scroll through etc etc... it will just pop up with the word completion box after the first few letters of the email address and there you go!
I've been reading about the text-to-speech entry method for the Nexus One. Speech recognition is a great idea, but very difficult to accomplish.
I've always steered clear of devices without a physical keyboard, which is why (being on T-mobile) I have stuck thus far with my trusty G1.
However, this feature on the Nexus One has gotten me thinking about what it would take to get me to go with a device that does not have a physical keyboard, and I think I know what would do it.
I'd like a true "voice keyboard". I don't want the device to try to figure out whether I'm saying there, their or they're, I'd like it to let me spell, just as I would with the keyboard, with my voice.
Option A would still be prone to errors but still be much more accurate than full speech recognition, and would just allow me to try to spell what I am saying--I would simply say the letters "H-E-L-L-O-Space-W-O-R-L-D-Period" out loud.
Option B would require some memorization, but would allow for nearly perfect accuracy, by spelling your entry with the phonetic alphabet. The above would be spoken as "Hotel-Echo-Lima-Lima-Oscar-Space-Whiskey-Oscar-Romeo-Lima-Delta-Period".
I'd presume that the system would by default attempt to auto-capitalize as it does now, "Shift", "Shiftlock" and "Unshift" could be used as commands as well.
Any thoughts? Has it already been done? I'd be awfully close to putting a Nexus One on my belt if I could enter text this way.
That's an interesting idea. The nexus one does that for punctuation marks, if you say "question mark" the output is "?" instead of spelling out the words 'question mark'.
Though I still see 'option a' being prone to errors with letters that sound alike, such as "B/D/E/...". As for option b i personally think it would just be too time consuming to write a couple of sentences and it would probably be much faster to just type it on a virtual keyboard (including all the time lost correcting mis-touches). But anyway it would be nice if a 3rd party vk implemented the idea..
Is there any app out there that will allow speech to text from within any application, or whenever you pull up the keybord or something? Preferably multi-lingual.
HTC_IME
You can install the modified HTC_IME keyboard that comes with the speech-to text-button on it, you can make a modified version of it at gimpsta. com/themer/index.php. It uses the google speech thingy, so you should be able to speak in more than English I think.
Then to use it, if you go settings > Language & Keyboard, yuo should be able to eck HTC_IME mod. Then long click any text area > Input method and chose HTC_IME mod.
What is REALLY stupid thing by google/android is that they dont offer a text-to-speech / speech-to-text/ voice search to languages that literally pronounce every single letter the way theyre written. It would be the easiest thing in the world to do. This would offer a solution to many languages (such as Finnish thats heavily ignored by google/android in every other aspect too).
Just my 2cents. Ppl at google plz read this.

Thanks for the replies. First, HTC IME does have speech to text, but only in english. Choose another language and the mic button automatically becomes just a simple settings button. SO much for that...
As for Juniper's rant, I agree. I love Google. I mean, I'm a God damn fanboy! I live and breathe Google and have tried to convert all my friends and family and misc forum users to Google services whenever possible. But the fact that they mainly play for the big boys (English speaking countries) and always try their services in a fixed set of countries first, kinda annoys the hell out of me and makes me feel left out. ****, I even went as far as to buy a Nexus One online for almost double their worth because they didn't go on sale in Portugal for a very long time. I just consider myself lucky I was able to sell it on for a small profit despite the already ridiculously high price I had paid for it to begin with. But even after that I opted for a HTC Desire just because I wanted the best Android experience possible (at the time). I am a Google advocate. ****, Google has probably made (what to them must be a small amount but to normal folks would be) a metric ****load of money just on services bought by people I have recommended use Google over the past decade or so. Me, myself, I use Google for just about all my online needs from shopping to social networking. So no, this issue won't make me want to stop using Google, for sure, but it does make me feel my "relation" with Google is just that little bit less "special". They do tend to be biased and not support the little guys.
That said, I still have no solution to my question. Ideas?
First off I don't have an at&t s4, I have a USCC one, SCH-R970.
The problem is when I am texting or inputting text in a different application it no longer remembers phrases I've already used.
For example when people would ask me what I like doing in my free time...
I would type "music, movies, swimming, pool, darts, bowling, hiking, disc golf, badminton, long walks, running, video games, etc."
After typing that a few times to different people or in different applications in messages to people my phone would automatically predict the next word I was going to type, for example...
I used to be able to type "music" and then it would predict the next thing to be a , then movies then another , then swimming then another ,
and so on...
Lately when I try to type out the phrase "music, movies, swimming, pool, darts, bowling, hiking, disc golf, badminton, long walks, running, video games, etc."
I first type music, then the three things it predicts are comma, the word is or a period.
So since I want to say movies after the word music I will choose the comma.
The issue is that after choosing that it used to know I wanted to use the word movies next, but now it guesses "I" "and" or "but"
It is very annoying to have to keep retyping the same phrases over and over.
How do I fix this?
Like if I say to a lot of people "I woke up earlier than normal today" my phone used to know that I used that phrase a lot and would predict one word after another correctly, but it no longer does that... so I am having to type out everything word per word.
Can someone help me with this?
When I go to my device then language and input google voice typing is turned on to automatic, default is samsung keyboard, voice recognizer is google, etc.
In the samsung keyboard settings predictive text is on.
All I simply want is to be able to use a phrase over and over and for my phone to be able to know what word I'm going to use next like it used to be able to.
So I was able to type the word music then it would predict the next thing to be a comma then all I'd have to do is click the comma then click the word movies then click the comma again then click the word swimming then another comma and so on. That way I had a list of things I liked doing in my free time simply by clicking my finger in the same area a few times because I had typed the same thing out manually a lot.
My phone doesn't do that lately and it annoys me. Certainly there is a setting somewhere?
Bump
Anyone want to help me?
Never mind I fixed it.
Solution:
I went to settings>my device>language and input>samsung keyboard settings>handwriting>then changed the recognition type from stroke to complete.
I think that's the solution anyways. Not 100% sure as I reset the settings for the samsung keyboard and started from scratch then went into the predictive text setting and had it learn from contacts and also had it learn from messaging.
But now I can say stuff like "I like music" then it will predict the next then to be a "," then the next word to be "swimming" and so on.
This is what I wanted it to do and I'm not sure why it stopped doing it, but it's working again!
For 1 whole year I regularly contacted Swiftkey by email and their facebook page and asked to fix this and they never fixed it, the biggest issue/bug is, Swiftkey is taking COPIED text as TYPED text. It should take typed words only (this is big reason behind inaccurate/unneeded word prediction). Could you do something about it?
Below is the email i wrote to Swiftkey and they never implemented or fixed these in their recent versions.
:
Improvement idea #1:
This is the big reason behind incorrect/inaccurate word prediction.
I was a die hard fan of Swiftkey until I realized that Swiftkey is taking COPIED text as TYPED Text resulting in unwanted prediction of words we already removed by selecting 'Do not predict xxxx'. STOP THIS PLZ
I checked this twice thrice and informing you. The problem is: Saving the words what we type is good but BAD/WORST part is, it also saves the words when you just copy text from other sources for example: Copying random text or paragraph from webpages, Ebooks and Documents. Those text are NOT TYPED by the user and those words GET COPIED to internal dictionary of Swiftkey which I don't like to be predicted while I type. I copy some text/paragraphs from webpages to read it later but it doesn't mean that I like all the words from that copied text/paragraphs and would not want those words predicted--as it can contain whatever words which i never typed and just copied it and while typing those words come across as prediction.
You can Experiment yourself.
1. Just copy the below words in a new note and save it. (do this on your android mobile not on PC) I would never use the below words ever.
2. Now, Suppose, you do not want the word 'Chateau' never ever to appear or predicted.
3. Open another new note and try to type 'chateau', you'll see 'chateau' appears in prediction bar. Long press the word 'Chateau', a message pop out saying 'Do not predict 'chateau' again.', hit 'OK.
4. Now, open the first note with all the below words saved and copy word 'Chateau' and see it will stupidly gets added to the dictionary of Swiftkey and you'll see them come across while you type.
Did you just observed ? You copied the word, you could have copied 2-3 paragraphs from the webpage which could contain more or few words which you never wish to type/use. it should not be added by Swiftkey.---this is exactly what is happening and it is leading to worst word predictions. Yes, if you rather type the entire word 'Chateau' then it should predict. Got my point ?

Improvement idea # 2:
I use Swiftkey's compact mode only to type and it is good in portrait mode. But in landscape mode, the other half screen is occupied with the empty space of keyboard. (Please check the attached picture).
Improvement idea # 3:
Sync from Whatsapp needed as many guys use whatsapp than facebook these days.
Improvement idea # 4:
Want to view dictionary words in each language and want to remove the words i never use.
Improvement idea # 5:
Shortcuts for cut, copy, paste like swype keyboard please.
Improvement idea # 6:
'Choose input method' notification bugging.
Improvement idea # 7:
Provide option to set flow trials color and width.
Could anyone fix atleast the idea #1 ? Swiftkey team is waste they give irrelevant replies to our emails, they never carefully read what user is saying.
Thank you,
Athar
Done
Good post
What options need shut off to reduce memory usage.... Maybe add a few other check boxes with notes about memory savings

I thing I manage to disable the method that executes learning from text copy. Try it and let me know how it works.

I LOVE IT. Thank you very much for this mod. It's working 99% the 1% which is lacking is: It pridicts the word 'zyban' from the below list of unwanted words and that word force remains added when i delete it.

zyban
May be the word is the last one so remains force added?

I can easy add logging for you to watch what and when was blocked from learning in that particular method. The logcat message is displayed as array of all copied words. That way you can see if something else is not blocked as well. Just let me know...

I would love to let you know but i can't read those catlog or logfiles. I'm a noob and very far from being a dev. I tried to delete that word Zyban like 10 times, it is still there. Are you too facing the same?

I haven't played with it much so I can't answer your question. All I know is that pasted words are no longer added to swiftkey learned words.

With this Solution came in a new problem that is the words are not being deleted.
I've attached the screenshot of the words which i want to delete.
