Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

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.

Why the keyboard not have undo and redo the text.

Pls if this characters in SwiftKey. Pls let us now about it if not then why?

Why is Swiftkey changing a word in ALL CAPITALS to a first letter Capitalisation. It never used to do this, and I can't find anything in settings. Oh why was this once wonderful app sold to Microsoft so they could screw it up.

To remove incorrectly learned suggested words in English input mode, such as misspellings, long pressing the suggestion from the prediction bar correctly gives the option to remove that word.

However, when in Japanese input mode, long pressing a suggestion simply inputs the text of that suggestion.

Is there any way to individually remove incorrect suggestions in Japanese input mode?

This is gone on long enough. I correctly type No, and swiftkey will either correct this to Jo or KO. 

I have long-pressed Jo and asked it to never predict it again.

Checked data.swiftkey.com and it is NOT there. 

Have English, Spanish and Portuguese as my languages and in all three of them "no" is an extremely common word, and "Jo" means absolutely jack shit. I'm getting sick of this. Swiftkey didn't use to be this stupid before the Microsoft purchase.

Ho abbinato la tastiera fisica Logitech Keyboard K480 con SwiftKey. Fino ad oggi tutto bene, ma ora non funziona la chiocciola. Come posso fare? Grazie.

日本語で文章入力する際に、単語と単語の間や単語と助詞の間にスペースが入る。

英文では単語の後にスペースを入れることが必要ですが、日本語の時にはこの機能は不要です。

この機能の削除をお願いします。

--

When entering sentences in Japanese, there are spaces between words and between words and particles. In English, it is necessary to put a space after the word, but in Japanese, this function is not necessary. Please remove this function.

Soy una persona de la tercera edad y el tamaño de las letras y símbolos que aparecen en los teclados son muy pequeñas.
Mi pregunta es:
Como puedo aumentar el tamaño de las letras y símbolos del teclado?
Muchas gracias y si bendiciones. Ismael.

When I open the Google keep app I get a SwiftKey keyboard.

How can I close this keyboard? Only people using Samsung S5E need post, as every suggestion fails, and I'm hoping this might be peculiar to the S5e 

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. 

After last update swift keyboard beta Thai language fonts are way too small

Hi
In SwiftKey the Persian layout it's not correct!
In Persian alphabet consisting of 32 letters and the SwiftKey shows only 27 of them, 5 of them merge with other letters. (ص - ض) - (گ - پ) - (ز - ژ) - (ط - ظ) - (ت - ث)
On the other hand, there are 2 (key?!) for punctuation and 1 for diacritic.
This makes no sense to me! why should be a dedicated key for diacritic? Why does all of the punctuation doesn't merge in 1 key?
In Persian we barely use diacritic in fact, we use those 5 letters a lot more!

If you checkout Google GBoard you see all of 32 letters of the Persian alphabet have their own dedicated key and this is the way SwiftKey should be

I hope you fix this issue

Hello Swiftkey ream, 

Using BT keyboard - onscreen keyboard turned off, how do I select the suggestion I want? There is a number on each suggestion, but selecting a number on the keyboard just types in that number. How do I select from the keyboard?

Why isn't this optional like everything else on the toolbar? 

It takes up 1/3rd of the tool bar on my screen and has made the toolbar useless to me as I pretty much just have a giant search box tied to a search engine that I would never use.

PLEASE make it optional. Your app was once the most customisable keyboard out there, but now you are forcing Bing onto everyone who uses it. That's not only biased towards Bing, but it's also completely against your brand image to force something onto the keyboard without being able to turn it off. 

• What about the people who do like it but actually prefer to use other search engines and are now stuck with Bing?
  
  
• Why are you being biased towards Bing? Windows was forced through a lawsuit to offer their users other search engines during setup of their internet browser as it was found to be unfair to the competition - isn't this exactly what you are doing?
  
  
• Why add a search bar to the keyboard when there is one on the android homepage, at the top of every browser and on most quick access tool bars on phones, tablets and PC's - think Cortana for example?
  
  
• What about the fact that most people just use voice commands on their phones to search?
  
  
• What about older people like myself who have really tiny phones?
  
  
• What about people who don't want to have a search bar?
  
  
• What about the lack of customisation that you've left your users with that was once your claim to fame?
  
  
• If you insist on making it mandatory to have it there, why can't you make it a button like everything else?
  
  
• If you insist on making it mandatory to have it there, why can't you make it smaller?
  
  
• If you insist on making it mandatory to have it there and you're unwilling to make it a button, why not at the very least make it shorter - then it could expand when you use the search box for you to type in rather than it taking up so much precious screen room.
  
  
• Why not keep with your brand image and make it customisable like everything else?
  
  
• Why not listen to your users before they switch to a different keyboard? There are countless other great keyboards these days that offer almost identical services, and most of your users probably don't even utilise the full extent of your app anyway.

Please do the sensible thing and make it removable. I don't want it, and clearly a lot of other people don't either as there are even articles on various websites about it...
