  • How to disable simultaneous predictions in different languages.
    0 votes 5 comments

    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.

  • Changing languages while using a physical Bluetooth keyboard Answered
    1 vote 5 comments
    I'm using a physical Bluetooth keyboard with my Galaxy Tab S7, and when I try to switch from English to Hebrew, it doesn't do anything, whether I press the globe icon or use the hot key. The on-screen keyboard will change, but the input from the physical keyboard will not. While using the native Samsung Keyboard, I don't have this problem. Any suggestions?
  • Auto Space after Punctuation

    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.

  • Chrome OS

    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! :)

  • Text shortcuts
    4 votes 3 comments

    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

  • automatic space

    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

  • SwiftKey Q&A: Week 1 - Cursor Control Pinned Featured
    -2 votes 7 comments

    We recently brought Cursor Control to your Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard for Android. This much-requested feature had previously only ever been available on iOS.

    If you haven't tried it out you can do so by tapping & holding your spacebar to move the cursor. 

    If you use multiple languages, cursor control will need to be turned on first; this setting can be found in your ‘Typing’ menu.  

    Make yourself heard!

    We'd love to know what you think. This is YOUR opportunity to help us shape the future of Cursor Control, e.g. is it useful? Does it work as you expect? Could it be improved? Do you love/hate it?
    Whatever your opinion, we will take all feedback seriously.

  • Add ability to pin frequently used emojis Answered

    I have an emoji I use to indicate amazement "😲" that I can't find since I don't know the keywords used for it. I'd like to pin it since I probably don't use more than 10 different emojis. It would be a minimal addition to the interface and speed up usage.
  • Numbers and symbols above letters Answered
    0 votes 3 comments
    I opened my S10 this morning and noticed the keyboard no longer had the theme I chose. So I tried to download several and none of them were available. I uninstalled the app the reinstalled. Even though signed in the app did not remember my settings. I was able to download the themes and started to set up a new keyboard. Weirdly I can't find a setting for letters alone on the keyboard. Now there are symbols and numbers above the letters. This is driving me crazy, literally. I have severe ADHD and this is a nightmare for me.

  • Why SwiftKey hasn't fixed the cursor control issue on non 3D Touch devices yet? Answered
    1 vote 9 comments

    We came upon non 3D Touch devices as Apple has completely abandoned the technology, bringing haptic feedback. On devices with small screens, such as the iPhone, is easier to handle the lack of cursor control (although iOS native keyboard does the trick very nicely), but it is terrible on the iPad. SwiftKey is, hands down, the smartest keyboard there is - and it's exactly why it is so hard to understand why they didn't come up with a solution.

     
  • Zwischen Swiftkey und Gboard switchen Answered

    Hallo zusammen

    wie kann ich zwischen den Tastaturen switchen? Wenn ich bauf Gboard bin kann ich ohne probleme auf Swiftkey wechseln, aber von der Swiftkey Tastatur kann ich auf keine andere Tastatur direkt wechseln. HIer muss ich immer über die Handy Einstellungen gehen. Das ist sehr mühsam.

     

    Hello everybody

    how can I switch between the keyboards? When I'm on Gboard I can switch to Swiftkey without any problems, but I cannot switch directly to any other keyboard from the Swiftkey keyboard. Here I always have to go through the cell phone settings. It is very troublesome.

  • Problem with Sinhala language typing
    5 votes 7 comments

    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

  • language switch by swiping spacebar is infuriating
    5 votes 2 comments

    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.

    Hello,

    I wish I have the opportunity to use the symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), and the symbols that indicate the "quantity" in Latin words (long and short), on all the vowels. I'm a student of linguistics and I think it could help a lot of people.

  • Samsung S21 Ultra: frequent pop ups asking me to confirm keyboard or similar... Answered
    0 votes 1 comment

    i've been using Swiftkey Keyboard for a long time and now.


    on any of my previous phones, including the S20 Ultra which i used from its introduction around Feb/March 2020 till just a week ago, everything was fine as usual.

    with this new Samsung S21 Ultra, however, i get very frequent (rmultiple times each day, very annoying!) pop ups requesting something. i can't even tell what it's requesting, but it seems like it's asking me to confirm my keyboard choice or possibly Samsung Keyboard asking me if i want to use the Samsung Keyboard? i can't tell, as it doesn't have an explicit question asking me anything. when the pop up shows up, the bullet point for selecting which keyboard i want to use has ALREADY selected/highlighted the Microsoft Swiftkey keyboard. i have no idea why either the S21 Ultra or Samsung Keyboard or something else keeps wanting me to confirm this multiple times each and every day!

    may i please kindly ask if someone could please try to help me resolve this please?

    thank you in advance.
