  • Keyboard flickering and not registering for 4 seconds
    6 votes 11 comments
    SwiftKey keyboard is flickering crazily. Every new occasion I need it. More and more. I've offloaded, uninstalled the app and it is back back on after a day or two. When I open anything to type, the keyboard appears and keeps vibrating / changes / flickers between two sizes, and it takes 2-4 seconds until it records the first key press. I'm using iPhone 13 Pro Max 256GB. It is so annoying that I keep uninstalling the app. However, everything else is so great in this app. Looks like a simple, performance thing. Please sort it out!!! Please.

  • Microsoft To Do integration not working

    When I click the To Do icon above the keyboard it asks me to connect my Microsoft account. I connect my account then it says its already associated with a SwiftKey account. I even tried creating a new Microsoft account and it still says that the email is already associated with a SwiftKey account.

  • Chinese input really bad!
    4 votes 2 comments

    Hi!

    I really like Swiftkey, its awesome for two of my spoken languages, Swedish and English but really bad for my third spoken language, Chinese (manadarin). 

    Not only does the Chinese input for swiftkey not learn the phrases I commonly use, it also constantly gets what I am writing wrong. Chinese is most commonly written phonetically with a system called "pinyin" where you use a normal 26 keyboard to write how a word is pronounced, then you chose the correct character (word) for that pronunciation. Chinese is special in the sense that it can have a lot more then one character (word) for one pronunciation. What swiftkey does wrong is that it not only is not able to guess what character I want to write according to the context as all other Chinese inputs do, like the default windows Chinese input etc, it sometimes does not even chose characters for the pronunciation I've written! 

    For example, I can write the pronunciation "yu" and get a list of characters pronounced "yi", or write "jian" and get characters pronounced "yuan" etc. This is extremely frustrating and writing something that might take seconds with other input methods can take minutes with Swiftkey as it takes forever to sit and chose among 100s of characters with the pronunciation I did not write. Its like if you would write the English word "doctor" spelled correctly and then the first choice on the list is dictator, then proctor, then drought and then you have sit and scroll down a list until you finally find "doctor".

    I have been using swiftkey for more than a year and there has been exactly 0 improvements with the Chinese input. From a market standpoint I really cant see why you would not put any effort in improving the input for a language that is spoken by 25% of the world population, while the Swedish input (a language that is spoken by about 0.1% of the population) is working perfectly. Not that I complain about the Swedish input working well, I just really dont understand how you prioritize.

    Please fix this asap, its LONG overdue.

  • cursor jumping around weirdly and getting stuck (space bar cursor control fixes?) Answered
    1 vote 10 comments
    Sometimes when I'm typing (not sure when this happens exactly) my cursor will be forcefully moved to a new location. when I try to tap in the text box to go where I want, the cursor moves visually, but when I type it puts me back in that new location. I'm stuck there until I long press the space bar to move the cursor in a new location. screen record example: https://imgur.com/a/WQ666Xz
  • £ instead of $ in Australian language version. Answered
    0 votes 1 comment
    There is a £ instead of a $ on the keyboard, (above x). The $ is now buried 2 layers deep in the symbols. Also, SwiftKey now adds a space before punctuatio(n .) - see! Very annoying. This has been since an update a while back . I've used SwiftKey for years with no issues , but now I'm over it. Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • HOW TO BACKUP AND RESTORE ALL CLIPBOARD CREATED SHORTCUTS AND OVERVIEW IT AND EDIT IT IN A FILE? Answered
    5 votes 3 comments

    3 QUESTIONS IN 1 > 

    HOW TO BACKUP AND RESTORE ALL CLIPBOARD CREATED SHORTCUTS?

    I want to create a backup file from all the created clipboard shortcuts.

     

    AND OVERVIEW IT?

    in my phone i can't organise the shortcuts, i can only create a lot and scroll through the created shortcuts and edit them when i can find them. But after making hundreds of shortcuts it is frustrating to lose an overview and not be able to organise them all on Alphabetical order and in a spreadsheet file or anything exportable to a cloud - document - excel conversion so i can keep the shortcuts and export the file to another device and use them all again on that device.

    This could be handy for educational tool on schools and universities with standard shortcuts.

    Also it would be great if the overview is possible in a spreadsheet so people can really learn the shortcuts and overview them, edit the ones they want to edit and restore the file to the device or devices.

    AND EDIT IT IN A FILE?

    Talking about a dowloadable file is the first thing we need to do if we think about shortcuts on keyboards.

    Swiftkey would be the best app if it allows users to create a file and make them able to edit these shortcuts personal in an editor online or on a spreadsheet cloud environment.

  • Problems with toolbar when send messages
    1 vote 6 comments
    When I try to send a message on WhatsApp, often when I click on send this causes the toolbar to close instead of sending the message, which needs a further click of the send icon to be sent. This is incredibly annoying for those situations where you text a lot of fast because it slows you down and hinders your writing and looking online I couldn't find anything about it. it is a problem that I carry around since the last days of my previous mobile (Huawei p20 lite) and now in the beginnings of the new one (xiaomi mi 11 lite). Has anyone had this problem?

    Vibration problem occurred in the latest update. Version: 8.10.20.2 Vibration works with "Android default" option. But when I turn on "keypress vibration" option it doesn't work. There was no problem with my phone or keyboard until the update came. Is there any solution to this?
  • Can I hide the (i) button on my toolbar? Answered

    SwiftKey lets me customize my toolbar, but the little info button for "open keyboard tips" is there always. I'd rather have a 6th button of my choosing, or the option to just make that button go away altogether. Is this possible?
  • How to turn off SwiftKey when using Dex Keyboard? Answered
    2 votes 1 comment

    Hi guys,

    Is there a way for SwiftKey not to start when the physical keyboard is a (Samsung) Dex keyboard?  When I'm using this on my PC, the mobile device screen turns on and shows the swiftkey UI down the bottom of the phone.  This is not the UX I'm looking for.  

    Anyone have any pointers?

    Thanks!

  • Greek question mark

    When writing I Greek the question mark character is this - > ;

    SwiftKey should treat it as such and it current doesn't. Actually, after the last update the behavior of the Greek question mark has deteriorated and acts inconsistent in comparison to before the update.

  • Any way to make the autoselect prefer "I" instead of "u"?
    0 votes 1 comment

    All too often I reread my text to see that the letter "u" was placed where I definitely meant "I", which naturally changes the entire meaning of the sentence. I never use "u" as a diminutive of "you". I can long press it in my pr edict bar and tell it not to predict it again but that does nothing for single letters.

    Is there any way to manually assign prediction priority so that "I" is always suggested before "u", no matter how precise my swiping may be?

  • Swiftkey no longer works with Hancom Office
    0 votes 3 comments

     Hi, I like using Swiftkey because of the ability to create long text shortcut keys which I use in customer support and because it is the only keyboard to somewhat support spell checking and preemptive text when using Samsung DeX.

    It used to work great but recently I was using my word processor of choice, Hancom Office, and it is no longer working.  It backspace and adds duplicate keys  I reinstalled and it still isn't working
    Using Samsung Tab S8 Ultra and Book cover Keyboard Does not happen with on Screen Keyboard or any other app/
     
    In this example, I typed the following:
     
    The Quick Brown Fox
    John Doe
    the quick brown fox
     
    And this is what got printed on the screen in Hancom Office Word.  It appears to be related to shifted characters.

    TheQuickBrownFoxFBQJohnDoeJ

    The quick brown fox

     

    Thanks
