Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

In this post I'm going to leave in errors in quotations and some corrected words as parentheticals to show "t" what's going on. Reading this post will probably be about as "r" frustrating as it is typing it out. I'm pretty sure this issue started within the past week, "u it" (but) random letters "go Vila" words and "r flags t" (spaces) began to pop up when "r t" using the flow "y y toxin" (function) of the keyboard. Sometimes it will even put in random gibberish words, and "y hovering" (sometimes) I just "have to u" give up and manually touch type things in.

Anybody else having this issue? Any ideas how to fix it?
I'm currently using a galaxy S7 (not the edge version).
Android version 7.0
SwiftKey version 6.7.1.34

Would love the option to include a delete key on top of the present backspace key. A lot of efficiency gains could be had by allowing me to delete rather than having to tap and move precisely in order to use the backspace key.

Tldr: have the keys that allow me to delete going right or left.

Hello guys. Please consider adding the WORKMAN keyboard layout. Its supported by most major desktop OSes but android is yet to catch up.Thank You

Hello, SwiftKey is the best keyboard, but the qwerty layout has flaws, as well as all the other keyboard layouts for thumb typing.

I have made my own layout, and want to test it out on SwiftKey :). Is there any way to add my own layout into the language select screen? Maybe if I rooted my phone?

I am willing to relearn a layout, and it's really easy for me to do. I want one which allows me to be sloppy and have really good autocorrect. I can text without looking, but every time I look at my screen, I see the same errors caused by certain keys being too close.

So yeah, I made my own layout, and if it's not perfect, I have an idea for writing a program which can figure out a better layout, and I will continually test each new layout.

And yes I've tried LOADS of android keyboards and also different layouts(qwerty, colemak, dvorak, azerty, etc). Swiftkey is the best for autocorrection, and the smartest so far.

I'm currently using JBak keyboard with my own layout, but it's autocorrect is rubbish.

Why go to so much hassle? because I know it's possible to text without looking at my screen, and I like being able to look up at the world whilst texting at a fast speed, followed by a quick proof read.

I find that the source that SwiftKey uses to find GIFs is lacking. There are a lot of sources on other apps that have more relevant GIFs, that you cannot find using SwiftKey. Is there a way to add certain sites/sources to the GIF search functionality in SwiftKey?

Hi.

An error has occurred, and therefore, difficulties arise when using the built-in translator in the keyboard. Constantly writes: "Something went wrong. Restart the Translator." This error occurs when I want to spell a word, or a sentence not in English. Help me please.

Thanks...

I can't find baybayin keyboard in language section

Hello. My problem is about backup and sync. First I have to tell you these. 5 years ago I was using LG G3, and I moved on iPhone 6 Plus and I was able to use my old predictions. And then I moved on Xiaomi Mi 8, I was still be able to use all my learned data. And now I changed my phone to Oneplus 7 pro, and in the app I cannot see any of my learned data.
https://data.swiftkey.com/view-data in this website I can see my learned data, the words that I use most before on the other phones, but they won't show up on my new phone. 5-6 years of learned data was making my life easier but now I am not happy to use this app. So question is what should I do?

Today I updated windows to the new version with the clipboard that syncs supposedly with SwiftKey beta, only to come to the realisation that SwiftKey is not actually syncing with it. Can I get some help please?

Many Users are not able to efficiently use SwiftKey as tap-to-type due to the errors that occur when spaces are inserted or deleted after certain characters.

SwiftKey AI will add spaces even when settings for all options are turned off.

Certain characters require double spaces to be spaced, and 'period' character will have spaces inserted directly after. The frequency of key press affects the displayed result - and it is different each time.

Data fields without the correct meta-tag will result in SwiftKey behaving differently - cut and paste - may or may not add spaces after. URL may or may not add spaces.

Pressing 'period' 20 times at a rate of 1 per second will yield a different result to a rate of 3 per second.

The behavior can be seen when typing an ellipses "..." or open and closed bracket "[ ] " or open and closed braces "{}"
Textbox tags on sites with it enabled in the textbox will mean that the "@" character will cancel unwanted behavior, and also "#" hash tags.

The replication of the issue is most apparent for continuous key-press of the period key - as stated above - and shows a lack of set behavior for AI, due to the inconsistencies. Time between key-press for a single character "period" should not yield different results.

Just create a toggle to disable insertion or deletion of spaces after characters or words.

This has been an issue for years now, and has constantly been ignored.
My forum post from yesterday has been ignored and deleted. I cannot find any reference to a post or support ticket posted yesterday.

I see there other posts on these but the *status is closed without any conclusion.*

How important does SwiftKey think is a good idea to sync Clipboard? This often consists of my usernames or passport number, greeting messages to my clients. And after every phone reset or phone device upgrade, I have to redo everything again. I need to take the trouble of copying every clipboard pinned texts to Evernote and then put it in SwiftKey. We are heading into 2020.

Please make an option for a photo theme to be able to change the color of the letters on the keyboard to something other than white

The logo stands out and looks terrible on my otherwise all-black theme.  I know what keyboard I'm using. You don't need to advertise it to me.  I'm currently using a size smaller than desired only because it hides the logo.  Could you please, please, please remove the logo from this otherwise great keyboard?

I'm looking on getting rid of the Quick Emoji Beta feature on my Samsung Galaxy S8.  It's very annoying.

I hate the beta toolbar.

I always get emoji from my emoji history and SwiftKey defaults to the crystal ball, which I assume is predictions.

Been using this app forever, and this new feature is annoying me. It's nothing I asked for, but I'm asking for the ability to disable it please.

Hi there, is it possible to put colours to the keypad at the custom theme design. Sometimes the existing colours doesn't match with the background photo.

Thank you
Sincerely for everyone

Hi all. I've been using SwiftKey for a veeery long time and it's amazing. I really liked the voice integration but a while back I started to get away from Google products (yes, Android is from Google but you can strip quite a lot of their stuff from it) and I (sadly) discovered that after removing Google Search app the voice dictation stopped working.

SwiftKey is now owned by Microsoft and MS has it's own voice recognition. There is also a Common Voice project from Mozilla (https://voice.mozilla.org/) which should be more open/transparent (though they are only collecting data / training for now).

tl,dr;

Having alternative voice input would be awesome!

I just updated today and auto space after a period is gone and it's killing me.

Hi

Is it possible to get the old t9 keyboard without downloading some other app?

I really like using SwiftKey, but I'm much faster when writing on t9. 😊

love the app - understand that it defers to Google for voice to text which is fine but do any of the keyboards have the microphone button larger? I downloaded this app to have a larger keyboard but now it is harder to get to the microphone - may have to uninstall it if there is no fix

Is there a way to bring up handwriting to text with SwiftKey? I feel like I've seen it before but now that I'm looking for it I can't seem to find it.

The production version of SwiftKey is again too large and this time on the note 8. Please apply whatever hot fix you did for the S8 so we don't have to use a giant keyboard.

Suggestions.

I'm used to the touchpal keyboard features (virtual buttons for : select all. Copy. Paste. Cut. Home. End)

Can you consider to embed it?

And then, the emoji is very annoying, that it is embedded in ENTER button.

Eg. Especially using Whatsapp typing, while scrolling the Whatsapp emoji, then the keyboard SwiftKey emoji pops up and override the Whatsapp emoji panel.

Hi,

For the past month or so, the swiftkey stats section is displaying 'oops something went wrong our end check back later' has anyone else encountered this? It seems strange it's been going on so long, I've tried logging out and back in again but no joy.

Thanks

Using the new s8+, and even with the keyboard size set to the smallest, it's still really large.

Mostly happens with the highest resolution on the phone, 2960x1440.

Is it possible to have SwiftKey *not* remove the preceding space when an underscore is being inserted?
This issue (along with a few others) was raised as far as December 2014. Unfortunately, it hasn't received attention from the developers.

It's rather frustrating having to go back through typed text to correct things from

"It_should_ be fixed immediately" to "it _should_ be fixed immediately".

Ordinarily it wouldn't be a problem if you could simply backspace and correct it. However, fixing this 'typo' requires a careful placement of the caret (which isn't at all easy) then inserting a space and then moving to the end of the line to continue with the text.
This slows text input especially when writing formatted text on WhatsApp and Telegram, both of which use the underscore for formatting.

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.
