  • I love SwiftKey but no handwriting convert to text?? Answered
    0 votes 1 comment
    Does anyone know if SwiftKey has handwriting convert to text? I can't find it in the settings anywhere. Google keyboard has it not to hard to find in languages. It isn't a deal breaker because SwiftKey knows my typing very well and I like the setup I've had for some odd years now but come on no H2T? Get with the times lol...
  • Is the switching between upper and lower case letters by tapping shift-feature not available anymore? Answered
    0 votes 1 comment
    Hey everyone, I remember I could change between upper and lower case capital letters by selecting the word and then tap shift 2 or 3 times (i cant remember exactly) on my old phone. Did they remove this feature a while ago or am I just blind? (Phone - Android 10)
  • Marathi language not availale for download

    I just installed version 2.8.4 from App store on iOS 14.1 and couldn't find either marathi or hindi languages for download. I thought Swiftkey had support for Marathi or Devnagri scripts.

  • [Feedback] New thumb mode layout is worse
    0 votes 1 comment

    In a recent update you changed the thumb mode layout so it no longer has Y, H and B on both sides, and it's no longer symmetric which is much worse and makes typing difficult for me and many others using one of the nordic layouts.

  • Inconsistent Google voice recognition input Answered
    0 votes 1 comment

    I have been having a lot of trouble recently with the google voice recognition not "pasting in" to text fields in Android. It tends to work fine the first time you use it in an app but not after. And it seems to work consistently when I use Google voice recognition "directly" in Chrome through its mic button or in Google Assistant. I have tried with both the beta and the regular swiftkey versions. I'm running Android 10 on a Huawei P20 Pro...

  • Swipe left to delete gesture not working everytime Answered
    1 vote 9 comments

    Swiping left to delete gesture isn't triggering consistently (I'm getting 3/10 successful gestures).

    I'm observing this using a Pixel 5 with SwiftKey 7.6.6.11 (tried the beta as well which had the same problem too). Also been able to reproduce this in a Pixel 3a and Xiaomi Poco X3. 

    Link to video reproducing the problem: https://youtu.be/pALNMFL-NvE

  • Swiftkey showing notification about full installation Answered
    0 votes 6 comments

    I just changed my phone from Huawei to Samsung, where Huawei got preinstalled Swiftkey. I wanted now to change Samsung's default keyboard with Swiftkey so I downloaded it from Google Play. I changed my default keyboard for it in phone settings and everything seems to work fine but Swiftkey keeps showing me notifications (in taskbar and as toast notification) about full functionality of Swiftkey will be after finishing the installation process.

  • Voice Dictation now very slow and Inaccurate Answered
    -1 votes 1 comment
    It has become painfully apparent that over the last few months, voice dictation with SwiftKey has become unusable. It is now very slow, lags severely, is very inaccurate, or flat out not work. If I switch to Gboard or the Samsung Keyboard, dictation works fine, so it's definitely a SwiftKey issue. To prove I'm not blowing smoke about this issue, here is a video comparison I made using voice dictation comparing SwiftKey and Gboard. YouTube link: https://youtu.be/7rKcEbtTyaQ It used to work great, and I have been using SwiftKey for over 10 years, even purchasing the "Pro" version back when that was a thing, along with the paid SwiftKey Tablet X keyboard app. Not sure if there was some internal change to a different voice dictation engine aeaynfrom Google Voice, but whatever has been done needs to be reverted as its not usable in it's current state. Please fix this issue. SwiftKey used to be amazing, but I'm forced to use other options due to the performance issues it now has.

  • Write "un po' " in italian Answered
    0 votes 1 comment

    With the latest versions of swiftkey, an annoying error in the Italian language has returned that had already been solved some time ago with regard to the Italian language.

     

    Unfortunately, the corrector no longer corrects "po" with "po' ". This, in Italian, is an error and it is not possible that the corrector does not put the apostrophe. At present it is not even possible to make the keyboard learn the correct word, making it impossible to write correctly except by entering the symbol board. I sincerely hope that the problem is solved, it is not acceptable that the corrector does not suggest the correct word.

  • Thumb keyboard lay out keys to SMALL Answered

    not sure what happened but this makes the keyboard unusable for me on my tablet.

     

    I remember you used to be able to increase the actual key size and no matter how far I drag the bar up in "resize" mode the keys just aren't wide enough.

    Dear Swiftkey / Microsoft,

    great that you have started to support alternative keyboards, such as Colemak and Dvorak. This is a feature request for linking your Microsoft Swiftkey to MSKLC, Microsoft's Keyboard Layout Creator, to allow users to make and use their own keyboards for use in Swiftkey, as we do in Windows.

  • Split keyboard unusable on Galaxy Tab S5e in landscape mode Answered
    0 votes 1 comment

    After the latest update (7.6.6.11) the keys are squeezed together on the both sides of the screen. They are too narrow, too small and too close to each other which makes using the keyboard almost impossible. There is also no way to move or scale them horizontally.

  • Pfeiltasten beim Daumenlayout plötzlich nicht mehr in der Mitte untereinander justiert sondern unten in einer Reihe ... ??? Answered
    1 vote 1 comment

     

     

    Hi Support, seit gestern ist meine Swift Key ohne mein Zutun total anders. Ich liebe das Daumenlayout und plötzlich sind die Pfeiltasten unten in einer Reihe, statt vorher und bisher mittig untereinander (grüne Markierung). Und die Tasten links sind oben um eins verschoben. Jetzt kann ich nur noch sehr schwer tippen, weil ich das andere Layout so gewohnt war.

     

    Kann ich meine Pfeiltasten so justieren, dass die wieder mittig untereinader stehen und die Buchstabentasten oben links nicht um eins nach links verschoben sind?

     

    Danke für Hilfe.

    Huawei Mate 9 Android EMUI 9.1.0

  • PLEASE FIX THUMB LAYOUT FROM LAST UPDATE!!! Answered
    0 votes 1 comment

    If you check the reviews on the playstore many people who use the thumb layout are saying the last update makes it unusable. 

    The space in the middle is now almost 75% of the keyboard

    Please fix it or add the option for the old layout. 

    You can't expect people to use this keyboard for years and then change the layout. 

     

  • iPad Air 4 Keyboard Size Answered
    0 votes 2 comments
    The keyboard on the brand new iPad Air has but a full inch or so of blank empty space on the left side of the screen. This looks like a bug perhaps. It does this in portrait and landscape modes with the undo bar running the entire width of the screen. This doesn't happen on any other iOS devices I have. Any way to fix this?

  • Swiftkey not working with Twitter
    -1 votes 1 comment

    I have Swiftkey version 7.6.6.11

    I have Twitter version 8.67.0-release 00

    I have a Samsung S20 Ultra 5G (UK version) with Android 10

    For some months now I am unable to use the Swiftkey board with Twitter.

    As soon as I go to type the keyboard vanishes and does not come back.

    How do I fix this please?

  • How do I stop the space after hyphen?
    0 votes 3 comments
    I've started working on documents with a lot of numbers, which often use negative numbers. How do I stop the automatic space between hyphen (-) and the number from happening? I tried searching in the settings and there doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off. It's annoying to have to back space every time.
  • Android: SwiftKey typing, no output
    1 vote 4 comments

    I am getting frequent (multiple times per day) where I am typing on swiftkey and I see the prediction forming, but no output in the actual text field I was typing in. Switching to any other keyboard and changing back (without typing anything in the other keyboard) restores functionality, but it's pretty annoying and it's getting more frequent.

  • faulty key layout English (US)? Answered

    I just installed SwiftKey, and detected that long pressing X, will produce £ as default, should it not be $ as default since it's the US, not the UK keyboard layout?
  • Keyboard font size
    0 votes 1 comment
    I have a compact phone. Will swiftkey introduce an "increase keyboard font size" function, without increasing the keyboard buttons? Swiftkey (and other apps I've looked) at all simply increase overall keyboard & button size but in my phone it takes up too much screen space, restricting functionality - too little typed text is visible etc. There is plenty of room on the standard keys / buttons for a larger font. I don't care if it makes the appearance "ugly" I just need functionality. Its a bit like a car designer fitting a tiny steering wheel because it "looks nice". It may do but it's hard to steer! Thanx

  • font is "outline" (ex: Pumpkin)
    0 votes 1 comment

    Hi - for reasons unknown to me - and in the past this was NOT the case (but it is now)  certain themes have fornts that are 'outline' (inside of font is blank) - which I find very annoying - example 'Pumpkin' I would like it to have a SOLID font - like most themes.

    ALSO - most charachters in Pumpkin are not the 'amber' color indicated - but rather white - only Shift, backspace, emoji and search are the 'amber' color - this is not as much annoying as the 'outline' font issue - but it still does not fully represent the 'Pumpkin' theme as it used to.

    Any solutions?  (am using Android 10 on a galaxy S20-FE)

    Keyboard woks fine, but as other users, I can' termove a word form my dictionary.
