Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

With this latest update, 6.5.4.26, running Android 7.0 on Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge, when trying to capitalize one word, it automatically capitalizes the previous word.

Ex:
(How it should be)
That dog is REALLY good.

(How it appears)
That dog IS REALLY good.

Please help.This is horrendously irritating when trying to yell at friends, only trying to emphasize one word. Haha.

Qdo dígito tres vezes de forma rápida a tela da um zoom. Como desativar essa função?

The case switch feature causes multiple words to be capitalized. Typing an initialization while in swipe mode causes the previous word to be capitalized in addition to the intended word. Because swipe auto inserts a space only after the next word is swiped or next letter typed, it is impossible to capitalize the next word only. A workaround is to swipe then [space] then backspace to remove the duplicate, then CAPS CASE. And if auto period insert is also enabled, more gymnastics are required.

Typing the following :
foo(swiped) [CAPSCASE] abc(typed) [CAPS OFF] bar(swiped)
... Results in "FOO ABC bar" instead of "foo ABC bar".

I'm on Android 6, current swiftkey version.

i used to use swiftkey but they seems careless about changing arabic layout thats why now im on gboard. really hated these small buttons

It should be select the characters by default form typing because it will correct all words which is Idon't want to correct them so it gives lot of mistake when I'm chatting

Hi. Is there a layout or change that allows this? I do not like the button placement - challenging with big fingers and sharing with comma. Thx

If I keep swiping in a word and then deleting the suggested word, please don't keep putting in the exact same word every time; obviously I'm trying to type in a different word from that one being suggested or else I wouldn't have deleted it the last three times! Suggest the nearest alternative. Thanks!

Is there a possibilty to deactivate the Number Block on the keyboard while opening special characters?

i activated the number row and don't need a number block.

I just want to see special characters when i click on the most left button.

Has anyone had an issue of the left prediction bar showing a correctly spelled word, but with a 6 added to the end of it?  It has happened to me for almost a year and I finally got fed up and decided to ask. It started on my previous HTC and has carried over to my S7.  I tell it to forget the words often, but it just keeps happening.  At least a couple times a day.  It's always a "6", never any other number. 

Hi all,
Is there any way to prioritize language as i often type Malaysia instaallah English.
Often i disable english and only enable it When I wanted to type in english.
Thanks.

Hi,

I use 2 languages, and it is annoying when after i type a few letters and realize i am not at the language i need, i switch the language and those not yet confirmed type letters on prediction bar are gone missing.  Some other keyboards app will keep the unconfirmed typed letters when switching language and come out with new suggestion words rather than clearing them.

Apart form that, I would like to say big THANKS to SwiftKey team who finally responded to my feature request few weeks ago to add Fuzzy Pinyin support (Swiftkey Beta).  Could be the implementation stage is already at the corner when i requested, whatever it is i am so happy to have this important feature added.  This make SwiftKey to near perfect above the rest.

I've been using Swiftkey for as long as I can remember and really like the app. But when I switched to the Oneplus 3T recently I noticed some lag when swiping the "period"-button to make either a questionmark or an exclamation mark. I've tried both the beta app and the regular one and both are the same. Does anyone notice the same thing? It works fine with all my other phones.

It's not a terrible lag, but still noticable and pretty annyoing.

Any tips for me?

I found this link https://vip.swiftkey.com/index.php?/topic/16888-swiftkey-lagging-update-64478-needs-more-info/#comment-87491 but couldn't find any more. That's the exact same issue as I have.

Hey,
Its been a long time since I have been using SwiftKey keyboard. There are numerous personalised predictions which my keyboard gives to me and i love using them, it takes my typing experience awesome. The problem now is that I have just changed my phone and in my new phone in SwiftKey, since I have started using it a day or two, there are a very low number of personalised predictions. So, is there any way by which i can copy predictions from my previous phone to the new one.? Signing in with the same account and backing up from the previous one isn't working out. Please somebody help me. I'm missing my SwiftKey typing!

How to hide prediction bar on swift key keyboard

Hello! I don't know what I did but now I don't have the automatic space between words... What can I do? Please help

If I type a word that starts with a capital letter, followed by another word that starts with a capital letter, SwiftKey uncapitalises the first word! I have auto-correct and auto-capitalise turned off, but it doesn't seem to make any difference!

It's incredibly annoying! How do I stop it from doing this?

Would it be possible to change Estonian QWERTY layout and put the letter "ö" under a separate key? It's rather crucial while writing in Estonian to use the letter separately from the letter "o" under what it currently resides.

With best regards.

I'd like SwiftKey to fix double spaces everywhere.

I often make those kind of mistakes and I like when it fixes some of the spacing, but sometimes I edit a word before punctuation and make an  extra space by mistake - that's what I need fixed.

And generally, when it detects double space where one shouldn't be, it should fix it.

Thank you.

I changed keyboard want my old back

Hi,

I've used SwiftKey (and SwiftKey Neural) for a few years on several devices. Recently I got hold of a Pixel C and the accompanying physical keyboard, both of which are great. 

However, I've noticed that the "..." button on the keyboard (which brings up symbols etc has no effect when the default keyboard is SwiftKey. That is with GBoard, touching "..." gives me access to all the extra keys and symbols. With Swiftkey it just acts as a Right-Alt key.

Is there a stetting anywhere in SwiftKey?

Is it something you're aware of and are working on?

Is it something you're aware of but can do nothing about due to Google having something locked down?

Any advice would be awesome, thanks. I have the beginnings of an idea in the back of my head to use IFTTT to switch to GBoard when the device sees the physical board, and back to SwiftKey when not...

I was wondering if there was any way to setup autocomplete hotkeys for use with swiftkey and a physical keyboard. 

So, recently my SwiftKey keyboard was updated. There is a devnagri script keyboard option as well as the QWERTY English that I usually use. I use a lot of Hinglish in my messages, sure, but I'm not so happy when the English keyboard simply changes the words into devnagri. If I need to I can simply shift over using the spacebar to the devnagri script keyboard. But for the script to hijack my English posts is incongruous, inconvenient, and honestly, frustrating, especially because perfectly acceptable English words are transcribed unnecessarily and SwiftKey becomes not so swift anymore. That's not fun when I have to write emails or text messages in a professional capacity.
What can I do to make this not happen anymore? Are there settings to switch the transcriptions off? Is that possible?

• LG V20
• Android 7.0 (Nougat)
• Swiftkey 6.5.4.26 

Twice in the past day or so, Swiftkey has suddenly minimized to just the predictions, the keyboard presumably off the bottom of the screen.

One time, I reset the phone, and that restored it. I wouldn't be here posting, but just a few minutes ago it happened again. This time I disabled and re-enabled Swiftkey and that fixed it...but if this keeps happening, I obviously will not find it worth having to do that each time.

I don't know how to reproduce this, per se. When it happens, it is that way in all apps. Both times it was initially in the AT&T default texting app, but that's probably coincidence, because it's what I use most.

There's a site where I chat with hosts
When I try to type the key board disappears

I'm experiencing problemas with the use of SwiftKey and Android Email App. When type an email using SwiftKey, and a notification arrives on the top of the screen, my SwiftKey keyboard moves millimeters up until the notification is dismissed.
Besides annoying, this problem leads to errors on typing.
Anyone knows how to solve it?

Hi,

the ability to add various keywords for a single clipboard text would be ace. The "➕" text could be input not only by writing "plus" but also "más" which is Spanish for the same word: Individuals who have dozens of clip texts can't remember the exact keywords. Further, it would be nice if you could assess special symbols, asterisks and so on, to enter clip text. That way you could enter the emoji "➕" by entering the normal "+" as well. ☺

«You could separate the keywords by using a comma or space.»

Keep up the great work, SwiftKey ninjas.

The new Gboard has a nice feature: https://youtu.be/Hj_91ntoi50

I like the idea, but I don't like, that this is only possible with Googles search. I would like to choose the search engine, that I like to use (for example DuckDuckGo).

I use SwiftKey in two languages: German and English (UK). Auto capitalisation is turned off, but nonetheless, many words in German are capitalised. This includes words such as articles, which definitely should not be upper case. Any idea why?
