So now I am having trouble with autocorrect not working correctly. I will be typing and the autocorrect will start deleting parts of words even if the spelling is correct. Examples I type hard and it keeps backspacing the letter d or system to sys. Is there a way to reset something or like replacing the dictionary?

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone else has the same hair-tearing frustrations as me when using the T9 predictive text.
for example...
type in S U P P O (the start of suppose or purpose)
you get suppo and then after the last two letter to complete suppose...the options you get are
ptppmpd and purpose!!
surely suppose has to come before ptppmpd as a word??? and yes I've tried adding it, but still I get the two options above...and this happens for countless other words.
what good is predictive text if it's going to wrongly predict that I talk gibberish??
I think the first word it suggests is always the literal string of characters on the keys you pressed. I agree: it's of bugger-all use.
There are many bugs in the T9 dialler keyboard but it's still the quickest method of input for me.

I may be wrong as I don't use T9 now but I didn't think it was. I'd try looking in the custom dictionary by running eT9MyWords.exe in the Windows directory. My guess is the random letters have accidentally been added as a word.
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.
Hi all, sorry if this has been asked before but I cant find an answer. I've figured out how this works if i add and use the Swype keybd. Seems to work as expected but if i want to use the Samsung keybd it doesn't work. Meaning if Samsung is my default keybd no words ever get added to the dictionary. Seems like the settings in Language and Input for Samsung keybd are different from Swype. And i dont see a section in the Samsung keybd for my words or a dictionary. I'm more a conventional typing person so Swype isnt really for me and I like the Samsung keybd more. Appreciate if anyone can guide me to a resolution. All i really want to do is have words like "hv", "cld", "shld" recognized when i type and not always predict something other than that. Unless of course it expanded the words to "have", "could", "should". A bit more info: If I look in language and input I have the samsung keybd as grayed out and checked on and below that the swype keybd as checked on and available to change. Thanks in advance.
is there some way to edit/add/delete items from the user dictionary when using the samsung keyboard?
i like that it has a phonepad type keyboard (i abhor qwerty pads and they crazy tiny keys)
but there is no option in the language/input settings for user or personal dictionary like older samsungs had and other keyboards have.
i know how to add words with the press/hold/swipe method while in the keyboard which is fine for adding new words but it makes lots of suggestions that i didn't enter. in my s3, and previous android phones i could occasionally go into the dictionary and remove out the erroneous entries but the s5 seems to be missing this ability
any help?
thanks in advance
On my galaxy s6 i could add words to a dictionary, or custom acronyms, where is this on the s7? Its getting really old that i can not add words in and having auto correct keep changing to random words when i use swype. Do I need a different keyboard? please help!

What keyboard are you using? If you are using the Sammy keyboard you actually add them from the keyboard itself. Type the word then, before hitting the space bar tap the checkmark that appears in the suggested word bar.
If you use the Google keyboard, look in Settings > Language and input for the Personal directory.
Others, who knows...
