Hi guys,

How to submit a feature request

If you've had a really good idea and want SwiftKey to hear all about it, the best way to do that is to submit it via the 'Feature Request' form here:

We look forward to reading all your requests and improvements.

The best way to post a question

In Microsoft Word and OneNote... Cursor Control will only move the cursor left and right, it will not move the cursor up and down.

This is true with both the released version and the beta version.

Beta: 8.10.28.4

Released: 8.10.27.3

Hello, would it possible to add an OCR from camera feature in SwiftKey? I’m looking for a way to use my camera to input text directly in my phone.

This happens with both the Released version and beta version. I use beta, and it is version 8.10.28.4. This only happens when you are in Book mode, aka two screens.

When you have the keyboard open, and you then open settings. This is what happens.

Settings opens on the opposite screen

If you attempt to swipe the settings window up, so that you can next swipe it off the screen to close, this will not work. The Settings window will remain whatever size it was left, you can interact with it, and the screen behind. But you must turn the screens off, wait a few seconds then turn back on to be able to remove the settings application. Sometimes, SurfaceQuickStep will stop responding.

Since years I have this issue. Everytime i swipe to write the word "already", almost always swiftkey enters it as "ashtray". The accuracy is increased if i do the swipe very slowly and going very carefully over the letters. Is there a way to change this so the word already is predicted instead?

I have an issue when i enter an email address or URLs. swiftkey adds space after the dot. i have to then manually erase that space to keep entering the email address or URL. But now when i turn off the "Auto Space" i have another problem. Normally swiftkey always adds a space after a word which is fine. But now after turning of Aut Space off, when i enter a period, the space after the word still remains. so the space is not deleted automatically. This works only when Auto Space feature on. This is a bit inconsistent behaviour. Could this be fixed?

OTP verification code autofill from SMS in the browser doesn't work with SwiftKey Keyboard on any browser, only in apps sometimes. 

Phone= Samsung S22 Ultra running Android v13, One UI v 5.0

Language= English( U.S)

SwiftKey KB-  v 8.10.26.6; language=  English (US),  QWERTY

Windows 11 using either Logitech KB or older MS KB

When I mirror the phone via Phone Link and have the phone KB configured for SwiftKey, typing into any phone app with the physical desktop KB results in the wrong key strokes appearing on the phone. For example:

Type e = .

w= ,

j=h

If I switch phone to the Samsung KB, typing works normally.

Buonasera. spesso quando digito numeri essi appaiono in colore blu con una sottolineatura dello stesso colore, cosa provoca secondo voi questo ed è possibile disattivarlo? grazie

buongiorno, come faccio attivare la tastiera solo numeri, quando si deve inserire un codice numerico in una app? tipo password solo numeriche. tutte le altre tastiere cambiano e compaiono solo i 9 numeri grandi per essere più veloce nell'inserimento. inserire un codice con i tastini piccolini risulta molto scomodo. grazie mille

So Microsoft did something really great: they allowed certain apps like Bitwarden to insert text into the keyboard. (See my previous post about SwiftKey). Bitwarden now inserts my randomly generated passwords into login forms, which is amazing. I only have to select the Bitwarden logo under the text prediction menu in SwiftKey and voila. The same applies to To-Do: just select the To-Do logo in the prediction menu and you can choose which task to insert. But one thing that I noticed is that the widget disappears after you have pressed the widget logo and inserted a string of text. This is not a problem in general, but if you have selected the wrong item from a widget (i.e. the wrong password from Bitwarden or the wrong To-Do task) and then go back to delete the pasted text data from the login form, you then will not get to see the widget pop up in the prediction menu. It does not appear a second time or ever. Even if the field is empty again. So you spilled your first chance. It has disappeared, even if you need it a second time. That's why I would like to suggest a new feature for widgets. Situation: The user takes the cursor off the text field (outside the form) to scroll down or click somewhere else and returns to the form again. They then click/tap inside the same text field again. (Maybe to add something more or re-enter a different text string). Suggestion: Show the widget again. Make the widget active in the prediction field if the cursor dissappears from the field (field is inactive so to speak) but then reappears on the same field (field is active now). What SwiftKey does right now: it only gives you the option to insert text from a widget like To Do or Bitwarden the first time. So even if you delete the whole entry in the form field, press outside of the field and then back inside, it does not bring up the insertion option from To-Do or Bitwarden. Why not let SwiftKey behave the same way every time the user enters or activates a text field?

So instead of having to reload the page so SwiftKey reloads its Bitwarden/To Do widgets in the prediction menu: make SwiftKey even smarter.
