Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

For some reason, just in the last few days, my keyboard does not add a space after I Swype a word. It DOES add a space if I Swype another word. However, the only reason this is super annoying is when I'm on Facebook and typing a comment or updating my status, Facebook tries to tag a person with nearly every word I type. I see another thread where someone wants to remove the space, I need to add it!

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?

I am using Swiftkey 6.5.3.35 on a Samsung S7 running Android 7.0.

First, I would like to say that I think that moving the focus to corrections instead of predictions was a mistake. I miss predictions, but I have been using the new version and trying to adapt, despite not really liking it. I have some questions.

1. How do i capitalize the next word? I'm flowing and my last flow was correct, and now I wish to capitalize the next word (say, a proper noun). If I hit shift, it capitalizes the last word. If I just tap or flow, then it's not capitalized. Example: "Yesterday I visited the State House."

2. Hitting spacebar after a *correct* flow inserts two spaces. How do I stop this? Autocorrect is set to off.

3. Punctuation is slightly messed up as well. If I insert punctuation (: ; / - + etc) after a *correct* flow, it auto-adds a space in between. It makes using colon, semi-colon, etc very awkward. It's there a way to fix this? e.g. "To whom it may concern:"

Thanks!

I want that my phone dosent show me the words what could be nexr. What would i do? Sorry for worse english ots not my mother language

Hi,

with the microsoft outlook Android app 

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.outlook&hl=en

Swiftkey (happens with both the normal and beta versions) starts lagging horribly. i.e., you need to wait a really long time (a  few seconds) for any key to appear on the screen. scrolling is slow and everything is slow. it feels like the phone has locked up. everything is back to normal once I kill outlook. It's fine with the stock samsung keyboard btw.

I'm running this on a samsung S7 with android 6.0.1. stock firmware supplied by my carrier. firmware version is g935Fxxu1cpl1    baseband version is g935fxxu1cpl2

Thanks,

Raj

The problem started today.

Duplicate letters are shown when typing.

Using the latest version (not beta).

Keyboard such gboard not having this problem.

Please help here, thanks.

Hi

I've been using SwiftKey for years now, and it has become more and more painful, to the point that I'm a meme to my friends now due to the way I type if I don't read twice before sending.

First, it looks like SwiftKey went from correcting my typos to considering that my typos are the way words are supposed to be written. So it corrects the right words into wrong.

Second, the French corrector is pretty broken to begin with, there are even tenses it don't know. So I have to manually rewrite verbs, even if I had them right the first time, because SwiftKey mess with it.

Last of all, since I switched to a new A5 2016 recently, the keyboard sometimes erases one to two words while I'm typing, for no reason.

I also have the "SwiftKey closing while I'm typing" problem I saw elsewhere, happens on Textra and Facebook Messenger.

I use the last beta of the app, with swift off because it made the keyboard even more laggy and unpredictable.

I wanted to change app, but yours is the best in terms of customization and key placement.

As you could have guessed I'm French. Strangely enough (?) I had absolutely no issue typing this message. Is French the problem? Or the way your app learnt me? Both?

Cheers.

I would like to request a free resize option for SwiftKey's width. There are enough height options to suit almost any taste, but the only available options for width are full, thumb and compact.

This would be most useful in undocked mode on phablets in landscape mode and tablets. Still I think the option would be good in docked mode as well. Some phablets are sized such that "full" width is uncomfortable for one finger typing, but "compact" is cramped. It would also help on Galaxy S7 Edge portrait mode, where "full" size extends keys into the curved "edge screen" area, where it's too easy to hit them accidentally.

I think a good way to implement this would be a 4th option under layout, "custom". Selecting it would bring up draggable resize bars around the keyboard and an accept button.

I would like to see the option to turn off all "gestures" from SwiftKey

Lütfen Android SwiftKey için hareket girişi kısmına "Hiçbiri" seçeneğini getirin. Çünkü Flow ya da hareketler ikisini de kullanmak istemeyenler için bu seçenek çok faydalı olacaktır. Ve hareketler seçeneğini seçtiğimiz zaman hızlı yazarken maalesef yazdığımız kelimeyi ister istemez siliyor. Buna bir çözüm bulabilmek açısından hiçbiri seçeneği harika olacaktır.

Hi Swiftkey team. I really like your keyboard and it's prediction system, but unfortunately can not use it because it does not have the most widely used in Lithuanian layout in Lithuania. It is QWERTY keyboard with Lithuanian symbols hidden number buttons:

1-ą;2-č;3-ę;4-ė;5-į;6-š;7-ų;8-ū; (9;0;- skipped) =-ž;

Would it be possible to include this layout to your App. Because I really want to use it but it is really uncomfortable with other keyboard.

When editing emails on Android, a new little bubble appears with two buttons to add attachments. Is this a SwiftKey thing and, if so, can it be disabled?

When using the voice text or typing it constantly Wants to put in Capitalized words where They should not be. People are starting to think I'm angry all the time.

When I bring up the extra characters with a long press, I cannot choose individual characters from the popup unless I press on a completely different part of the screen, and I never which part of the screen will activate the characters I want, because it changes randomly.
It worked fine until the last upgrade.

Hello everyone,

We are rolling out a new Flow experience for SwiftKey for Android. The idea of this change is that when Flowing (aka "swipe" gesture typing), we want to provide you with more choices to insert the word you wanted.

How this new Flow feature will work:

You Flow a word. Instead of the prediction getting automatically inserted you will be shown three possible candidates. You can then take one of the following 3 actions:

1. Select one of the three predictions by selecting the word. This will insert the word and give you a space
   
   
2. Continue Flowing your next word - this will insert the middle prediction and auto add a space for you
   
   
3. Start tap typing. This will also insert the middle prediction and also auto add a space for you.

Basically this is ensure that if the wrong word is predicted, you can easily change it by tapping one of the three predictions. But if it is correct, you can keep on Flowing or tapping just as before and it will use that middle prediction.

Let us know your thoughts on this new change in the comments below.

Cheers,

Ryan, SwiftKey Community Manager 

How do I get portrait keyboard or t9 option

 Using swiftkey with my Bluetooth keyboard works great until I alt-tab from a text input field.

It seems swiftkey gets stuck and none of my back buttons (physical button, mouse right click, and Esc) do anything until I select another text input field and then hit back to close the prediction selection.

If I turn off bluetooth while this is happening the swiftkey keyboard pops up on top of everything. Back buttons are still locked and the only way to hide the keyboard is to click a text input field and hit back.

Почему в этом приложение нету карачаевского языка

Why in this application there is no language Karachay

Lately this app has taken a downturn. It constantly puts in the wrong word. When I backspace to fix it, the word I just input shows up. Ugh! Why wasn't it selected to start with. I've stopped and deliberately made sure I swiped exactly from letter to letter, and it will still put in what it wants to, but what I swiped or what my history would predict. It not only suggests by preemptively puts in a word I rarely use over what I've just used or have used hundreds of times since I stated this app.

Hey,

I started using SwiftKey this past month after testing it out on my new phone and I think I'm sticking with it. But one thing I loathe about it is how all the characters on the Arabic keyboard are scattered around with no logical connection between them, I'm not talking about the main letters but the ones you get when you long press a letter.

Let me give you an example, in both Google's GBoard and Apple's keyboard and probably every keyboard out there when you long-press on the letter Alif (ا), the equivalent of A, you'd get all the variations أإآء... But SwiftKey kind of have them scattered around like on a physical keyboard which is not very thoughtful. This leaves me either guessing or using an ugly theme with all the letters shown.

This problem is present on both the main beta releases of the keyboard on iOS and Android.

'keep awake' permission of swift keyboard is not working. As it is constantly getting cleared from memory. How do i change this?

I've noticed that my keyboard no longer inserts a space after the word I type using the flow method. It's quite frankly obnoxious since I use a combination of flow and prediction bar; every time I want to place punctuation, I have to type the character, see that there's now a space between the character and the word, then backspace both and retype the character. In addition, the prediction bar is now useless since it no longer predicts, only shows me the word I just typed. I have been through the meager settings to try and fix this, but to no avail.

Здраствуйте. куда с русской клавиатуры исчезла буква “ё“. Это же очень и очень ПЛОХО.! Моя фамилия Кремлёв. И как скажите мне проходить авторизации? Какой ........ до этого додумался?

Only part of the themes download, have difficulty installing new themes. Never had jssue before. Been using beta about a year

Не могу авторизацию пройти! Постоянно пишет: Произошла непредвиденная ошибка, повторите через несколько секунд

I am having problems signing into my SwiftKey account. I keep getting an error

I cannot find the currency symbol (¤Tekst, du kopierer, vises automatisk her) on the danish keyboard. Does it exist in any of the other language layouts?

I used to be able to get a compact keyboard on my Samsung tablet (rather than a ridiculously wide keyboard that covers the whole bottom of my landscape oriented screen). But I cannot find that option any more. Where is it? (same problem on my NOOK HD+)

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
