Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

Hello,

i would like to report bug

using theme "Dark", translator don't work in any app, for example in games

working only in android / Internet browser etc.

In this post I'm going to leave in errors in quotations and some corrected words as parentheticals to show "t" what's going on. Reading this post will probably be about as "r" frustrating as it is typing it out. I'm pretty sure this issue started within the past week, "u it" (but) random letters "go Vila" words and "r flags t" (spaces) began to pop up when "r t" using the flow "y y toxin" (function) of the keyboard. Sometimes it will even put in random gibberish words, and "y hovering" (sometimes) I just "have to u" give up and manually touch type things in.

Anybody else having this issue? Any ideas how to fix it?
I'm currently using a galaxy S7 (not the edge version).
Android version 7.0
SwiftKey version 6.7.1.34

Hi. I'm using arrows keys on my keyboard but is often for me that instead of space bar I'm pressing arrow key and it make me a lot of mistakes. Can you add possibility to change arrow keys to total top position above number keys?

Hi.
I work in the automotive industry (engineering) and I have to work mainly in three different languages: Spanish, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese, apart from English.

The problem is that the first three are VERY SIMILAR (Romance languages, they come from Latin) and many times the language that SwiftKey detected that I am using IS NOT IN WHICH I AM WRITING (it happens to me generally with Spanish and Portuguese, per example IN is EN - Spanish- or EM - Portuguese).

Therefore, the question is, CAN I DISABLE THE AUTOMATIC LANGUAGE PREDICTION?

THAT IS TO SAY THAT SWITFKEY ME THE PREDICTIONS (AND LEARN) ONLY FOR THE LANGUAGE THAT I HAVE SELECTED ON THE BAR.

This leads me to another reasoning ... If SwiftKey misinterprets the language in which I write ... A new word for which language is saved? That is, full of errors the dictionary of a language.

Thank you very much.

How about adding an option to toggle auto space on/off after punctuation.

It's a pain having to backspace to remove an unwanted space.

Hello,

I have been using Swiftkey on all my devices for many years and absolutely love it.

I bought an Asus Chromebook Flip about 18 months ago and was thrilled to see in the Chrome OS 79 update that custom keyboards were better supported and rushed to download and activate the Swiftkey app in the Play Store.

It didn't work very well, but I thought nevermind, it's early days, it will probably be fixed soon.

I have since updated to Chrome OS 81.0.4044.94  and have version 7.5.2.7 of Swiftkey installed, but the problems are worse. The keyboard appears and the predictions seem to function, but the text doesn't appear in the relevant field, and when I close the keyboard manually, only the first few letters that I tried to type appear, repeated several times. 

For example : "This is a test" - using physical keyboard in laptop mode
For example : "This is" s ais testis:isis3" - using Switfkey in tablet mode (but no text appears until I close the keyboard)

Does anyone have similar experience or advice on how to fix this problem? Shall I just wait for a few more updates to see if compatability improves? Is it perhaps linked to my device? Does Swiftkey plan to better integrate the app with Chrome OS? I seem to remember there being a separate Swiftkey Tablet app when I first had a tablet about 8 years ago, but can't seem to find it any more, does it still exist and would this be better adapted?

Many thanks in advance for any help offered! :)  

I am a busy man, efficiency is key, but I've been using the default android keyboard since time immemorial. Stubborn to make its lackluster autocorrect system work for me. Swiftkey blows that out of the water BUT there's something seemingly easy to add but essential about the keyboard that's missing from Swiftkey and had saved me a ton of time in the Samsung keyboard. You guessed it, text shortcuts. They can help me write three letters that get replaced with a paragraph of text I'd pre-written and sent a thousand times. These are non negotiable to continue using your otherwise wonderful app and I'd be more than pleased to use it in the future should that feature be added

Thank you for your time

it is very annoying for me to always delete automatic spaces after punctuation points e.g. in email's addresses and also for writing e. g., or in other punctuation marks. it would smart to have a button to slide if i want or not this function

Hi!

Just wondering does Swiftkey support Android 11's in-line password manager ?

Hi

I'm using SwiftKey over 5 years. 

Today I'm updates my huawei phone to android 10.

Now i have a problem in typing my country language sinhala (සිංහල)

Here is the example

If i type in sinhala 

අාදරය it has a some space in every word i start (අා) 

.. 

Hello,

I'm using SwiftKey v6.5.3.35 on a Xiaomi Mi5s with MIUI 8.2.2.0 Global Stable on top of Android 6.0.1. I'm using it with the default font. I also had this issue with various phones and roms like Cyanogenmod, Touchwiz, etc.

This is a message (marked in blue) which I typed in Sinhala using Swiftkey

And this is the message which my friend got (iPhone 7 with iOS 10)

Some letters have errors in iOS. I saw this problem in other iOS versions as well. No matter what Swiftkey version, Android version or iOS version this problem remains with SInhala language.

When I typed the same message with Google Keyboard and Helakuru (another 3rd party keyboard specially for Sinhala typing) it was perfect. 

I think the problem is with the typing method of Swiftkey. Both other keyboards use a different method. Hope you guys can fix this it would be great.

Thanks

guys this setting is infuriating as I need fast long hold keys but not at the expense of my language on the keyboard constantly changing when I press space bar.

this is a keyboard destroying issue for me. I type fast and cannot have dual language functionality work properly when keyboard change occurs constantly simply by pressing spacebar.

it means I'm spending a big chunk of my time fighting to turn Japanese language off or typing English words with a Japanese keyboard slowly for my example.

Please please change the behavior of language changing as it's too annoying in its current form for me. if it isn't adjusted I have to change to another keyboard that doesn't have this annoying gesture built into the space bar.

Can the Norman layout please be supported along with Dvorak and Coleman? I believe it's a very nice layout that I moved to from QWERTY on my computer. I would like to have less confusion when typing between my computer and phone. Can the layout be added as an option in the future or at least the ability to make a custom layout?

Not sure if this is a SwiftKey problem or a Messages problem or a Google problem but here it goes.......

I just got this Galaxy S20. On my previous phone (Galaxy S9), when I hit the little "microphone" button on my SwiftKey keyboard to do voice to text when using the Messages App for texting, I would simply start talking and the words I was creating by voice would populate the text field in Messages. I could easily see the words as I spoke. After I was done taking, I'd just hit the send button and I was good to go.

With this S20, when I hit the little microphone button on SwiftKey, a window pops up. It is super annoying for a few reasons. One, that stupid grey box that says "Your audio Will be sent....." blocks the first several words that I am speaking, so I can't see that the text to words is translating correctly. Second, if I stop talking for around a second, the voice to text assumes I'm done speaking and closes, preventing me from adding more words if I hesitate to complete a thought. Third and worst of all, after I'm done talking the words I just spoke don't transfer to the text field in Messages. If I tap the empty text field in messages, SOMETIMES the words I just spoke suddenly appear in the text field- maybe 50% of the time. Supper annoying as half the time I have to repeat the whole voice-to-text process or revert to typing.

On my S9, when I hit the microphone button, I got a different pop-up that didn't block my words as they were spoken, and my words simply transferred directly to the text field in Messages, where I could clearly see them and simply hit "send" when done speaking.

When I use Facebook Messenger and do voice-to-text, I still get the pop up box with the annoying grey "Your audio will be sent......" blocking my words, but when I'm done speaking, at least my words transfer into the empty text box automatically and edit/send as required.

Anyone else having this problem?  I'd post the pictures of the pop up windows but I don't see a way to do that with this forum.

Thanks!

I have about 40 clipboard items pinned on one android device. Is there an easy way to get these on my other android devices so that I don't have to manually enter them all over again? Thanks.

How can I turn off the feature which adds a space after every predicted word I select, or punctuation mark? It should only insert a space if I then decide to add another word. Having to delete excess spaces at the ends of things, or sometimes after the "#" in a hash tag, is really getting old quickly.

I've been using Swiftkey since it was first introduced. I've loved the keyboard the entire time. However, recently, after accidentally having my phone wipe itself because I forgot my PIN. Yeah, I'm a dumb dumb. After reinstalling everything and going through and setting up Swiftkey again, I can no longer make the keyboard as big as it was before. The largest setting is now only about a third of the screen when just minutes before the largest size took up half my screen. The keys were nice and big and I loved it. 

Is this something that was grandfathered in because I had such early versions of the app? Is there something I am missing? The largest size is quite terrible now.

SwiftKey is the best. The only thing I wish I could change was the voice dictation button placement. On big phones it is hard to get to. Give me the option to place on right side if screen (like gboard).

Please deactivate automatic spacing after typing a dot, or add an option to NOT insert a space (" ") after typing a dot/period ("."). It is very annoying, as the dot is a common character in any text field or text area (think input fields and text editors, not just web addresses, code editors and alike).

Although this issue has been reported several times, there's still no reaction from SwiftKey/Microsoft for SEVERAL YEARS. Maybe the issue is not tracked anymore as it is associated with a "permanently deleted user".

No sé si será un error. En versiones anteriores, no sucedió. Cuando uso el teclado Swiftkey para enviar mensajes en Wahtsapp, sucede que envío un emoji y presiono la tecla enviar, regresa al teclado para su escritura. Automáticamente.
En cambio, ahora envío el emoji pero el teclado swiftkey permanece en esa posición. Y tengo que seleccionar el cuadro de diálogo para reescribir (letras). A veces tengo que presionar dos veces.

Antes era un teclado muy fluido que permitia una escritura rápida. Ahora me resulta incómodo cada vez que selecciono el teclado, cada vez que quiero escribir

Gracias
