Disclaimer: After a recent update I was struggling with the missing autospace after flowed words. Given that this feature is now back, I have enabled it. So the comment below refers to this setup. If autospace is not enabled, then the issue doesn't present itself in quite the same way.

=======

This problem was first described by Greg Aloe, post at 13.33 on 9 May 2017, on the forum thread about "Improved Flow (swipe) feature". Please comment if you have the same problem.

So here's the issue:

When I flow, often I'm trying to write one of three words that SwiftKey recognises. For example , say I want to write "flow". But "flow" is extremely similar to "follow". Swiftkey now just inserts whatever it recognizes, and the recognized word flashes or a split second up in the bar, but then disappears. The problem with that is that loads of times the recognized word in such problematic pairs or triplets of similar words is in fact the wrong one. This means that one then has to hit the back button (once one has realized that the wrong word was chosen) and correct. And likely one can't correct using flow, because then the same problem would just re-occur. So one has to tediously type out the word very carefully. 

In previous versions of SwiftKey, a selection of words would appear in the bar, say "flow" AND "follow", and another word. Then I was able to select the one I wanted, if the wrong one had been auto-recognized. 

This problem happens to me ALL THE TIME. It means that I'm super slow when using flow because I keep having to correct things (and switch from flow to typing). I think soon I will stop flowing altogether because it is just such a pain. But then obviously I can use a different keyboard -- which is sad, since I used to really love SwiftKey. 

The issue seems to be that SwiftKey developers have become too confident in their algorithm. There simply are some words that are too similar to distinguish when flowing. And in these instances, SwiftKey should present a choice in the bar, like it used to, rather than selecting one that is probably wrong.

Hi Swiftkey team.

I'm having lots of headaches when trying to log in via android. The mobile model is an Infinix Hot 4 Pro. Half of the log in screen is showed and it is impossible to access the account.

I tried changing the font size and other tweaks, but unfortunately they were useless. Please patch the way users log in into google accounts.

Here's a picture of the problem:

As you see, It is IMPOSSIBLE to log in. Please fix this!

Thanks!

Hi,

Can you provide a Windows Phone "classic" keyboard that emulates the keyboard found on Windows Phones? I really enjoy the keyboard on Windows phones and would like to use it on e.g. and Android phone.

The last few months, swiftkey does not syncronize the personalization data with Google account.

Hi.

I have Danish, English and Swedish language installed.

It is quite annoying that it mixes Danish/Swedish so I can't swipe between them. It work fine whit the english language. That often results in spelling bugs and misunderstandings when I write in Danish or Swedish. They are two very diffrend languages. 
Is it possible to have Swedish for it it self on the spacebar, so I can swipe through Danish, English and Swedish?

Dear Concern,
M. Unable to login via gmail to SwiftKey. Please tell me the solution.

New SkiftKey user here! :)

I've sent several suggestions via email through the "Feedback" channel, but wanted to share this one publicly in case anyone can offer potential solutions.

Many times, I'll be "flowing" (is that the right term?) and I see the right word in the prediction bar, then suddenly it switches to a completely different word, or it just never detects the correct word (for whatever reason).

I realize that part of this is user error (I feel like I'm learning a new language) but it's a bit of a pain to have to finish typing the word anyway, then hold backspace to delete and type the word over again.

Perhaps there could be some sort of "ABORT" option, such as flowing to the backspace key (even if you have to hold it for a moment) or possibly a quick spiral motion that prompts SwiftKey to start over on that one word. (Spiraling multiple times sometimes works but often results in a random word instead.)

It could also help if we had more than 3 word predictions to choose from, but that's an entirely different topic. (Other keyboards have a scrolling prediction bar, with approximately 10 options instead, but that's a discussion for a different thread.)

Any suggestions are welcome. I'm still learning, and open to new ideas. :)

I wonder if there is a way to add a setting that allows us to disable haptic feedback while we are on a call? Whenever I'm talking to someone and try to text or type something at the same time people hear the vibration. Thank you!

I cant log in to SwiftKey

Hi,
I'm using beta program and for a long time I'm experiencing very slow menu and Themes tab. Even though the themes are already loaded, the actual scrolling between them looks like 3FPS. I have similar experience with main keyboard menu where I can see stats etc.
Thank you

I've been using SwiftKey for a long time, and as of a recent update, it has been suggesting multiple words as the top suggestion. The most common example is when I type "I'm" the first or second suggestion is "I'm not". I can remove even basic words from my predictions, but I can't remove any word pairs.

The number of times I've accidentally said "I'm not sorry" or "I'm not on my way" is embarrassing, please help.

I have installed the beta SwiftKey and under sounds and vibration I cannot slide the button for keypress sounds, it will not stay checked. There is. Currently no. Keypress sounds when I type. I have installed it three times. Help. I'm on android 7.0

I'm attaching a pic of the swiftkey keyboards on both my phone and tablet. The settings are EXACTLY THE SAME right down to the same theme even. I am trying to get the tablet keyboard to show the accented/secondary characters (@ above a, #above s, % above q etc.) 

Currently I have to press the 123 button (or rely on memory)  to input these characters, which is a pain and a wasted keystroke. How do I get the tablet keyboard to behave/look exactly like my phone keyboard.

The layout of my keyboard is Belgian. When I connect an external azerty keyboard however this changes to US English, notwithstanding all other layouts are disabled in my Swiftkey settings. The only way that I found to use this keyboard is to use the Android keyboard and disable Swiftkey.

Please let me know if there is a way to keep the Belgian layout connecting the external keyboard without having to do anything.

Android version = 7.1.1

Thx.

I have this gamepad and when I press X, the keyboard appears and get stuck in the screen.

My Galaxy S8 keyboard is the same size but the font for the predictions is much smaller after the update. How do I fix this?

For some reason some of the saved clipboard shortcuts are not pasting correctly in Gmail. For instance, I set Shortsig to be a shortcut for my signature:

First Last Name
www.linkedin.com/in/reachme
555.555.5555

Which worked perfectly here and in other apps like Twitter, but in Gmail for some reason all it types is "rr". This is very recent and older versions of SwiftKey worked fine. Within the past few days. I don't know why.

I'm running Android Lollipop and the latest SwiftKey keyboard app version as of today.

How can I get a fix?

(I posted this to support - but no idea if the email got sent)

THANKS for making the *BEST* keyboard ever!!
It's 99% perfect :)

I need one small tiny weeny request

You have added an textexpander feature (THANK YOU - God bless the guys at Swiftkey!)

So, I can saved myreadymadeshortcut

When I type this in, my ready made shortcut gets pasted - it's the BEST thing in the world!

SMALL PROBLEM: I have to type the text EXACTLY.
Grrr! Get one character wrong and my ready made text doesnt get expanded. :(

One of the things that makes Swiftkey just sooo awesome is that I can type junk and somehow magically it just knows what I meant to type.

There are other textexpander apps that do the trick...
I can have text snippets stored. When I use these snippets again and again, Swiftkey learns - so next time, if I type one character wrong - it knows what I want to type!
Happy days!! Except NOT - it doesnt work in Gmail (used to work 9 months ago)

I would even describe this a bug - since the auto correct works as it should do for other text expanders.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks. :)

Hi! Please put the letter ذ on د and let the letter پ stand alone between ر and د because the letter پ is one of the most used letter in Persian language while the ذ is not. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

I can only get 10 themes on a Google Nexus 10 with android 5.1.1. Why

Can't find the Sky theme in the SwiftKey I downloaded for my new phone.
