Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

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...

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.

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. 

Since the latest version the center number pad is missing and the keys seem smaller. Does anyone know how to find the previous version to download?

Support responded with generic, check the faq check the forum email so I'm not sure if they are aware or ignoring 

I don't want any words suggestion. How can I stop words suggestion in swiftkey keyboard. 

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.

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.

I use some android mobile phones and want to maximize the clipboard function. But when I try to log in on another cell phone with the same account, the clipboard I saved could not appear on another cell phone and I have to recreate it again.

For your info, I have enabled backup and sync features.
Need your kind to help, so I can sync the Clipboard to multiple android mobile phones.

Many thank,

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.

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.

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. 

It's unusable on my tablet

Can we have the option to adjust the characters BIGGER for ourselves? Changing the size only make it TALL, but not making the characters bigger as we want it. Thank you

I use SwiftKey as the keyboard on my phone. It has the option to swipe when typing or to tap letters individually. It also has predictive text to finish half-typed words and to get suggestions for the next word in the sentence you're writing.

When I'm on the forums (mobile theme), when I'm typing a post using the swipe feature, it types double words, likelike thisthis. But it doesn't do that when I'm tapping individual letters or using predictive text to finish my words.

This doesn't happen on any other app or website. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem? Good

On the Max 10 pad the backspace key deletes entire sentences and paragraphs at random. This feature cannot be disable, please add an option to disable it or your keyboard is not usable

About a week ago (about Sept. 25, 2020), my Google Voice Typing, which I use with SwiftKey (now owned by Microsoft), stopped working.   The microphone stayed on in listening mode for only about two to three seconds (depending on my device), unless I kept talking rapidly and unnaturally without any pauses, almost as though I were reading a book for one of those speeded up commercials.  If I paused at all, or stopped to think briefly, the microphone would shut off, and I'd have to tap it again to continue.  Sometimes it seems like it doesn't hear me at all after I tap 'Tap to start', or maybe just hears a few words, stops listening in the middle of a sentence, and then stops a few seconds afterwards, as though I had stopped speaking.  It never used to work like this… I was able to use it very efficiently to compose writings on Google Docs.  I would be able to pause from 5 to 10 seconds before continuing speaking.

I wonder if the speech buffer is filling up, and that's turning off the microphone, and then it stops a few seconds later because it's not hearing anything anymore.

This degradation happened about the same time on all my Android devices where I used Voice Typing.  I noticed that I was asked to agree to permissions again when this problem started, and the user interface also changed, so I think that this happened because of a faulty upgrade. 

I haven't yet found anyone else complaining about this happening recently.  I also wonder if it's some app I installed that uses the microphone, but I can't find anything so far. 

Any ideas…?  Thanks.  David

P.S.  I tried Voice Typing in Google Docs on my Chromebook laptop, and the microphone stays on for about 23 seconds after I stop talking.  This is how it should work on my Android devices, and pretty much how it used to work, although I'm not sure it stayed on quite that long.  I wish there were a setting on it so it would stay on indefinitely until you turned it off.

P.P.S.  I just replaced SwiftKey with Gboard on my Android tablet.  Now Google Voice Typing works just fine.  In fact, it appears to stay on for a very long time before turning off, just the way I would like it to act.  Strange that a Google update has just effectively destroyed one of Microsoft's SwiftKeys most attractive features…  Hopefully, it was just an unfortunate coincidence.

And too bad that Gboard is apparently not as good as SwiftKey.  I guess I'll find out...
