Voice to Text typing auto correct gone. Respondida
1 voto 6 comentarios

A few weeks ago, maybe a month, the voice to text feature for auto dictation changed. It used to have an autocorrect feature just like the SwiftKey one and it would also allow me to select sentences and predict what I meant to say by giving me different selections of the sentence when I tapped the underlined word. It was a wonderful feature. The voice command box was also white, which goes with the theme of my keyboard. Now it is nothing but a black box and when I try to go into the settings to turn this back on it doesn't do it anymore. I really miss the autocorrect features on The Voice to text. It was fantastic. How do I get it back?
Deleted words keep coming back Respondida

When I do "remove prediction" on a word they SwiftKey has learned, I mean REALLY REALLY stop predicting that word. No matter how many times I type it like that, I always want SwiftKey to autocorrect it to the real word and never learn the wrong word again. (In fact, it would be great if SwiftKey could learn to predict phrases and NEVER learn mistyped words at all.) There isn't a setting for that that I'm missing, is there?
[Feature Request] Swipe from top row to type numbers Respondida
0 votos 1 comentario

It would be awesome if you could swipe up or down from the letters in the top row to type the numbers that we currently get from long-pressing those letters. I realize this might conflict with "swipe up to capitalize" or "swipe down to close keyboard", but perhaps the top row can be excluded from one of those gestures? Or a setting that allows the user to choose what swipe up/down does. The standard keyboard on iOS does these number gestures really well. On the iOS keyboard you swipe down from the top row letters go type the corresponding numbers.

Themes act up on my phone as seen from the video. Light theme appears black, some buttons like enter and shift does not show up in black themes.

Video link: https://upload.disroot.org/r/LeeD1aYP#2O5u9hMEGGLRVYl7kc/O+LKGslala7jRs6NotiiD3LI=

Feature suggestions:

*Button to easily swap between keyboard languages for text correction(available on open oars app, check it out)

* Swiping left from delete button to delete specific part of a text. (also available on open board app)

*option to remove top bar, the bar above text correction words that includes clipboard, translation, gifs etc. should also be provided.

Make curly quotes default Respondida
0 votos 1 comentario

Hi I just recently submitted a manuscript, and it turned out it had mix of curly and straight quotes. It seems even with a physical keyboard, if swiftkey was on, it would use straight quotes instead of curly ones. Can anyone let me know how to make them curly by default? I can't long press each time if I'm using a physical keyboard (or want to work fast!) Thank you all for your help!
How can I disable multilingual predictions? Respondida
24 votos 44 comentarios

How can I disable the multilingual prediction feature (bug).

It is unwanted, uncalled fore, unnecessary, useless, counterproductive, counter-intuitive, and annoying.

Otherwise your app is awesome, until the next update (which hopefully will get rid of this feature) I will be switching to another keyboard, which is a shame.

I use Axis bank app on android. When I try to login with a PIN, it becomes visible in the prediction bar as I type. I didn't face this issue in Samsung keyboard. There a different numerical keyboard pop up whenever I try to enter a PIN. Please fix this issue. It is a serious security flaw.
Haptic Feedback issue on Samsung phones Respondida
1 voto 8 comentarios

I just got my Samsung S21 Ultra and installed swift keyboard which is my all time favorite keyboard to use on both android and IOS , however I noticed an issue only related to Samsung phones which is the haptic feedback is not "Tight" as it should be , when I use Samsung keyboard it gives me a tighter haptic feedback which is fantastic and more precised , this issue has been there for years with Samsung phones and I really hate it ! it gives you an impression that the vibration motor is very cheap . before owning Samsung I had oneplus 8 pro and it was fantastic when you use the android default vibration with SwiftKey , on Samsung even I tried to reduce it to 5 ms but it didn't work as it should.

Appreciate if you can fix this issue
Custom Keyboard Layout Respondida

I switched over to SwiftKey since I could see my text boxes but I'm not use to the current layout of the keyboard. I prefer to have my symbols on the left and my numbers visible without tapping on their own tab. And I like to have my emoji tab right next to my space bar on the left and not have to hold down on enter/send to get them. And way to change that sorta thing on here?

How can I contact Swiftkey Keyboard Tech Support directly? Respondida
0 votos 1 comentario

How can I contact Swiftkey Keyboard Tech Support directly? I have been asking for a button to force the Swiftkey Keyboard to display even when I'm using an external keyboard. My External Keyboard failed to work, and I basically had to wait forever for the Swiftkey Keyboard to display. A button in the Swiftkey Keyboard Toolbars that could have forced the virtual to open would have cut the wait to nearly nothing, and allowed me to continue my typing with no wait. Having this button in the toolbar would have allowed me to continue to type, or when the Virtual Keyboard fails to open on its own. Could be used to cause my device to display the Virtual Keyboard to display when an external Keyboard isn't working properly, or connected. Please place a floating Keyboard ICON on all screens,and in the Virtual Keyboards toolbar that often still displays even when the Virtual Keyboard doesn't for one, or more reasons!.!!!
Word Prediction Continues To Offer Certain Words After Removal Respondida
0 votos 1 comentario

I use the acronym "ASAP" in many of my texts, along with "ASAYC" and "ASAIC." When typing (in lower case) any of those acronyms, "asap," is the only one that doesn't pop up in all caps within at least 3 keystrokes. Instead, it only shows "asap" in the middle box, after I've entered "p." I've manually entered "ASAP" several times, and selected it from the prediction bar, attempting to "teach" SwiftKey. I've tried removing "asap" from predictions many times, but when I long-press on the prediction and tap OK to remove the prediction, it will not remove it, and "asap" stays in the middle box. "ASAYC" and "ASAIC" do not have the same issue, and will be predicted in all caps when typing in lower caps. Are there alternate methods to remove predictions other than long-pressing the word in question?
Options missing Respondida
2 votos 4 comentarios

SwiftKey should give the option to disable two words on a single prediction box, as most of then don't make sense in my language (PTBR) and are very numerous and annoying to delete. The gesture/flow setting should have an option to disable both. There are some bugs in both normal and beta versions, like when I type "q" and for some unknown reason the prediction shows an "a" when it should show "que" (meaning "what" in my language). That problem stays even after I've deleted the prediction hundreds of times. It goes away for a time, but it comes back again. There should be a setting to save all my used words if I loose my account. From time to time the predictions show single consonants for no reason, like when I type "n" and it predicts and "n"... Which is useless for me because it's just a single letter. I delete these predictions, but they always come back sometime later.
Bug OnePlus 6 Android 10 Respondida

Hi all, Since updating to Android 10, a little gray area of about half a cm appeared under my keyboard. I'm using my Op6 with the gesture control, others control options don't have this problem. It has totally messed up my typing abilities, because every key is moved slightly up. Wondering if this could be fixed. Thanks :)

Using Google speech to text Respondida
1 voto 1 comentario

I can't use it. If I stop for a second it will stop recording and I get this pop up which won't go away off my screen whilst blocking the keyboard, for an unacceptable duration....further to that, sometimes the keyboard won't go away and I have to restart my phone so I can't even continue with typing... This is the popup: "Your audio will be sent to Google to provide speech recognition service. A transcript will be shared with this app"... Can you please inform Google of the situation because I don't know who to ask or where to send anything and this is their problem as we know... there was no issue in the fairly recent past. I really enjoy using SwiftKey and have for a long time I don't want to go away from it. But I will have no choice if this issue is not addressed by Google.. Thanks kindly note that I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling SwiftKey I have the latest version it doesn't change anything
Symbols layout not the same after phone reset Respondida

I have recently reset my phone, and before it was reset my swiftkey symbols layout had the "?" symbol above the delete button, the whole symbol layout was better, the I reset my phone login and sync swiftkey with my phone again and now the symbols layout is completely different, and the "?" is to the left of the delte button, and it's extremely annoying since I've been "hardcoded" to the other layout and now I can't use the symbols layout like it's learning a whole new keyboard... I have the same phone with the same settings and languages on it the only change is the reset of the phone

Why Is My Theme Changing By Itself Respondida

I'm using the latest stable version of the keyboard, I've noticed lately that my default theme is changing to a super dark one by itself. I currently have my default theme set to the 'Classic Light' one. I always thought that once a user set their preferred theme that it stayed that way until the user decided to change it to a different one

Second of all, please please please nobody want this layout since it's produced very small font i submit a request in the Link below explained how it's too small compared with Google keyboard (gboard)

So please just unite the Arabic layout with the stock google keyboard plus attention to increase the size of letters font.
