  • Toolbar not showing Answered
    -1 votes 5 comments

    Hello, I have the problem in google sheets for example that the toolbar isn't showing and icon to open it also is missing, so that I can't use the clipboard. I need to type anything, then exit the cell and go back to it to get it shown. On some forms, often passwords, it's impossible to get it shown on any way. Is there a fix for that? Or can you add a shortcut on the keyboard to open the taskbar? Thank you Device make and model: Xiaomi Mi 9 Device Android version: 11 Current SwiftKey version: 7.8.7.8 Steps to reproduce: Open Google Sheets and open any cell - keyboard opens but toolbar is missing when it's empty. Or Xing login password field.

     

  • Voice to text swearing/voice diction censoring "curse words" (iPHONE/iOS) Answered
    0 votes 1 comment

    TL/DR:

    How to "disable" "block offensive words" on iPhone, while using the "voice-to-text" or "diction" feature for swiftkey?

    DETAILS:

    Despite my efforts to do my due diligence by searching the "support area", community boards, and even Reddit for a solution. Unfortunately, I have not found anything that is relevant to iOS/iPhones, or is no longer accurate (there is no "gear icon" when the voice-to-text is activated.

    Under the community forums, for instance, the one post I found (that was under IOS community) suggested this path: "device settings > Language & input > Manage keyboards > google voice technology settings> Block offensive words(Enable/Disable" -- Items bolded = doesn't exist. That post was marked as "answered" with in the last year.

    This was an issue that I have had since the very beginning and it seems that this has never been answered. (Currently I just toggle between iOS keyboard and swiftkey when I need to use voice to text). 

    ********************************************

    Context why its an annoyance:

    Besides being an adult and feeling 'irked' by the idea of an app censoring a word on my behalf. There are scenarios in which one might need to communicate in a professional back and forth (where cursing has been established as being acceptable/part of the 'culture' of the dialogue ["professional yet casual'ish"]). It is disruptive to stop>toggle back>type it out>turn back on, and/or for the recipient to get a "x****** " that slipped by.

     

    Thank you so much in advance for any/all help!

  • Adaptive keyboard layout for foldable devices Answered
    0 votes 2 comments

    As the title suggests, there is a lack in foldable phone support in the sense that competing keyboards like gboard are able to accommodate. Switching to split keyboard once the device is open would make SwiftKey so much more convenient. Foldable markets are growing. Hopefully SwiftKey keeps up. 

  • Add support for multiple layouts when using a foldable phone Answered
    6 votes 3 comments

    As the title says, SwiftKey is probably the best keyboard on Android and the fact that it doesn't support one layout for a small screen and another layout for a bigger/main screen is jarring. There aren't really any good alternatives out there and the foldable part of the SwiftKey community would benefit greatly from this addition. Heck, even Microsoft with their Duo series should have already thought about this problem for their users.

  • Swiftkey Hungarian spell correction is useless. Answered
    0 votes 5 comments

    So I am obviously from Hungary and try to use Hungarian spell correction and it is ok for 5 to 10 percent of the time. Mostly it corrects the word to a less likely useful or used word. It makes me confusing because MS Office Word has a fantastic Hungarian spell correction database which is also Microsoft so why they don't apply it or use it for this?

    Thanks!

    On my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Thumb Mode only works in portrait mode. It would be great if thumb mode was also available for landscape mode as well. The only modes other than the full width that works is one handed mode and float mode.

  • How to get more than 5 languages Answered
    1 vote 22 comments

    Hi there!

    Is there anything I can do to add more than 5 languages? While I can add more to my list, I cannot activate more than 5 at any given time.
    It is also quite a nuisance that you cannot instruct SwiftKey to restrict suggestions to a single language. If languages share the same fundamental layout principles, auto suggestions (auto-correct) will consider several languages at once which can make life quite hard.
    For instance, German, French, English (UK) and Dutch will be "running" simultaneously, sometimes producing ridiculous suggestions.

    Cheers,
    Olaf

  • Improvement idea for text insertion by widgets in SwiftKey (To-Do, Bitwarden) Answered
    4 votes 2 comments

    So Microsoft did something really great: they allowed certain apps like Bitwarden to insert text into the keyboard. (See my previous post about SwiftKey). Bitwarden now inserts my randomly generated passwords into login forms, which is amazing. I only have to select the Bitwarden logo under the text prediction menu in SwiftKey and voila. The same applies to To-Do: just select the To-Do logo in the prediction menu and you can choose which task to insert. But one thing that I noticed is that the widget disappears after you have pressed the widget logo and inserted a string of text. This is not a problem in general, but if you have selected the wrong item from a widget (i.e. the wrong password from Bitwarden or the wrong To-Do task) and then go back to delete the pasted text data from the login form, you then will not get to see the widget pop up in the prediction menu. It does not appear a second time or ever. Even if the field is empty again. So you spilled your first chance. It has disappeared, even if you need it a second time. That's why I would like to suggest a new feature for widgets. Situation: The user takes the cursor off the text field (outside the form) to scroll down or click somewhere else and returns to the form again. They then click/tap inside the same text field again. (Maybe to add something more or re-enter a different text string). Suggestion: Show the widget again. Make the widget active in the prediction field if the cursor dissappears from the field (field is inactive so to speak) but then reappears on the same field (field is active now). What SwiftKey does right now: it only gives you the option to insert text from a widget like To Do or Bitwarden the first time. So even if you delete the whole entry in the form field, press outside of the field and then back inside, it does not bring up the insertion option from To-Do or Bitwarden. Why not let SwiftKey behave the same way every time the user enters or activates a text field?

    So instead of having to reload the page so SwiftKey reloads its Bitwarden/To Do widgets in the prediction menu: make SwiftKey even smarter.
