Voice-to-text has gotten worse suddenly Répondu

1 vote

15 commentaires

It seems like in the last few days my voice-to-text feature has gotten significantly worse. I don't know if this is a Swiftkey thing or a Google thing, but it started happening a few days ago after my phone installed an update and updated a bunch of apps at the same time. The interface looks a bit different, and there are a few significant changes:

- The timeout when I stop talking has drastically decreased, to the point where if I hesitate even a tiny bit between words it stops listening.

- The guesses it makes are often way off, where before they were very reliable

- There was previously a feature where I could tap on a predicted word, and it would bring up a list of other guesses for the word, which was extremely useful when it got something wrong, but it doesn't appear to do that anymore.

- Previously I could hit backspace to delete the last word and it would stay in listening mode, now hitting backspace makes it stop listening.

I use the voice-to-text a ton, so if it's really this broken now it's sort of a dealbreaker for me with Swiftkey, which would be a bummer since I've really liked it up until now. Has anyone else experienced this change recently and found a way to fix it? For reference, I have a Samsung Galaxy s10 with fully updated OS and app. Thanks!

Even now, after years of SwiftKey development, iit still doesn't provide Hebrew Niqqud, which was provided by Gboard for years. It is a big drawback for Hebrew speakers. Is it going to be added?

Your Phone / Link to Windows: Physical keyboard does not work Répondu

Hello,

I'm using the Your Phone app on my Microsoft Surface Book 3 with my Samsung Galaxy A41 to mirror the phone screen to Windows.

Unfortunately, the Surface physical keyboard doesn't work, the SwiftKey app says no physical keyboard is connected.

The support doc says it should work: Setting up and using phone screen in the Your Phone app (microsoft.com)

Other forum topics here say that it works.

Also discussed here with no help so far: Your Phone: Physical keyboard not recognized

Any help?

Shiftkey wont add specific word Répondu

1 vote

1 commentaire

Other words get added automatically after typing. The word "agapi" which is greek for "love" won't get added no matter what I tried: typing it 5 times, tapping the word, deleting the word "agape" which gets suggested instead, uninstalling-reinstalling, turning sync on-off.

I really dont know what else to do, why is that word broken? Can someone else try to enter it and see if its suggested after?

One-handed mode, to Full and Back Répondu

I use the one handed mode most of the time and there's an Expand button at the corner; By pressing it, the keyboard turns to full.

My question is, how do I go from a full mode to a one handed mode using a button like a likewise above mentioned Expand button? (Not by going into the settings again).

Swiftkey closes in landscape mode on Sony XPERIA 5 Répondu

Hello good, it is impossible for me to use this keyboard in horizontal format in the Sony Xperia 5, it closes automatically and unexpected closing error appears, however in vertical it works well.
Other keyboards from other creators do work well without problems in horizontal and vertical, only the Switkey gives me an error.

I have always loved using this keyboard on all my devices, but it is impossible because of this error on my Xperia 5.

I do not know if it is because it is not adapted to the 21: 9 of this phone, I already say that the others work well and I tried to reinstall it 5 times, delete my data and it remains the same.

Thanks

Sony Xperia 5, Android 11, Swiftkey ver. 7.7.8.4

Predictive text adding extra words Répondu

1 vote

3 commentaires

I thought the issue was with my old phone for a year, but then it persisted when I got a new phone and I realized after some tests that SwiftKey is the issue. It will happen several times a day now and is getting worse. If I intend to write "I see what you mean" and I press the predictive text for SEE, it sometimes will add a word and type "see that" which ends up with me sending "I see that what you mean" This is infuriating and constant. I will send a work text and say "The front gate is open" and it will end up being "the front door gate is an open" and I look like an idiot. None of these added words are visible in the prediction area at all while I am writing the message and I can't find anything online about it. Im only writing this because Id rather not leave SwiftKey and I hope there is some fix. I have autocorrect off so no words should change themselves at all.

Spazio automatico indesiderato Répondu

1 vote

7 commentaires

Lo spazio automatico dopo la correzione e dopo la punteggiatura è utike e comodo.

Tuttavia, ogni volta che scrivo "tu?" mi si inserisce automaticamente uno spazio fra il "tu" e il punto interrogativo, senza alcuna ragione.

Tra l'altro, cancellando sia spazio che punto interrogativo, e provando a smettere il punto di domanda, lo spazio ricompare all'infinito.

L'unico modo per toglierlo è tornare indietro e cancellare solo lo spazio.

C'è un modo per evitare che ciò accada?

Key pop ups Répondu

Need to have key pop up much bigger and also maybe in contrasting colors. My thumbs are fat and like to press the wrong keys. It would make it much easier to see what letter I have pressed. Right now I can't even see the letter that pops up.

Deleted words keep coming back Répondu

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?

Using Google speech to text Répondu

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

Haptic Feedback issue on Samsung phones Répondu

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

Large empty space under the SwiftKey keyboard in portrait mode, and ample space around it in landscape mode. Répondu

There's a 3/4 inch blank space under the SwiftKey keyboard. The globe key / keyboard switch / keyboard settings isn't merged with the emoji button to the left of the spacebar. -Also even when SwiftKey is set as the main default keyboard, it keeps switching back to the iOS native keyboard. I ended up having to remove all other keyboards. -Does not back up / save / restore settings. I lost the all of my themes, settings, and usage data. I made sure it was synced backed up 3 times before I uninstalled the app. IPhone 11 Pro iOS 14.4.1

SwiftKey wants to replace "that" with "thst" Répondu

1 vote

3 commentaires

For some reason, SwiftKey will inexplicably (and it has done this for many years and versions) want to autocorrect "that" to "thst". It makes no sense, and I make sure to manually delete the suggestion every time. This happens maybe once per month? After I delete it, if I try to type "that" a few times, it will suggest "that" correctly. I have autocorrect enabled. I have Norwegian and English (UK) as languages. "Thst" is not a word in any vocabulary, or something that I will ever use. This random, buggy suggestion just seems to happen from time to time and I don't understand why.

It is not that I type "thst" by mistake - that might too happen - I type "that" correctly first time, and I see SwiftKey changing it to "thst". Very annoying!

Wrong Ellipsis Writing in Indonesian. Répondu

1 vote

2 commentaires

It's stated in our Ministry of Education and Culture Act No. 50 Years 2015, Chapter 3 Verses 1 Number 1: III.I.1. An ellipsis is used to indicate that a part of a sentence or quote has been omitted. For example: The causes of the decline ... will be investigated further. In the 1945 Constitution it is stated that the state language is .... ..., the fish is different. Note: (1) The ellipsis is preceded and followed by a space. (2) An ellipsis at the end of a sentence is followed by a period (four dots). The first note clearly stated, "The ellipsis is preceded by space" but SwiftKey forced me to remove the space before ellipsis. I have turned off all autocorrect features and changed the languange to Indonesian but it's still happening. I think this problem needs to be fixed as quickly as possible. I have failed my online test due to problem.
