It's unusable on my tablet

I have Swiftkey version 7.6.6.11

I have Twitter version 8.67.0-release 00

I have a Samsung S20 Ultra 5G (UK version) with Android 10

For some months now I am unable to use the Swiftkey board with Twitter.

As soon as I go to type the keyboard vanishes and does not come back.

How do I fix this please?

I am getting frequent (multiple times per day) where I am typing on swiftkey and I see the prediction forming, but no output in the actual text field I was typing in. Switching to any other keyboard and changing back (without typing anything in the other keyboard) restores functionality, but it's pretty annoying and it's getting more frequent.

Hi - for reasons unknown to me - and in the past this was NOT the case (but it is now)  certain themes have fornts that are 'outline' (inside of font is blank) - which I find very annoying - example 'Pumpkin' I would like it to have a SOLID font - like most themes.

ALSO - most charachters in Pumpkin are not the 'amber' color indicated - but rather white - only Shift, backspace, emoji and search are the 'amber' color - this is not as much annoying as the 'outline' font issue - but it still does not fully represent the 'Pumpkin' theme as it used to.

Any solutions?  (am using Android 10 on a galaxy S20-FE)

Keyboard woks fine, but as other users, I can' termove a word form my dictionary.

Long press and remove does not work: the word is still there.

Is there some official page to report a bug or is microsoft too big to bother, as usual?

Have an option to not remove preceding space when using Number Pad entry to put a period in.

This would be very useful for math and in some cases, IP address abbreviations ("The router is .1 and the DNS server is .2")

I love the behavior of the period key in the normal text entry, but the number pad could invite expectation of different behavior. To expand on this idea, maybe other "autocorrect" features might be disabled in the Number Pad mode.

Hallo,

ich nutze ein Huawei P30 lite (Modell MAR-LX1B, Build 10.0.0.290, Android 10, EMUI 10.0.0). Sehr oft erscheinen bei der Eingabe Buchstaben doppelt (z.B. Eingabbe), obwohl ich die Buchstaben auf der Swiftkeytastatur definitiv nur einmal eingegeben habe.

Hello!

SwiftKey is my keyboard of choice for my Samsung S20 phone. I recently started using Dex in parts of my day job, and as a programmer I use Vim and have my finger muscle memory quite settled for Norwegian Dvorak. Unfortunately I can only find English Dvorak available as a choice in SwiftKey, but on both OSX and Linux are Norwegian Dvorak available as default (and easy to install on Windows), would this be possible to add to SwiftKey as well? 

Not having my usual keyboard layout available in Dex makes it much harder to adopt it even more in my day job. My ultimate goal is to completely remove the need for a personal computer, and only use my phone for my programming job. To do this I need keyboard layout I know. 

I am willing to contribute quite a lot of effort to make this possible, if it is something I could add myself. There are many open source repositories with the layout already specified in Xml and other layout formats: https://www.google.com/search?q=Norwegian+dvorak+github

Can we have the option to adjust the characters BIGGER for ourselves? Changing the size only make it TALL, but not making the characters bigger as we want it. Thank you

I use SwiftKey as the keyboard on my phone. It has the option to swipe when typing or to tap letters individually. It also has predictive text to finish half-typed words and to get suggestions for the next word in the sentence you're writing.

When I'm on the forums (mobile theme), when I'm typing a post using the swipe feature, it types double words, likelike thisthis. But it doesn't do that when I'm tapping individual letters or using predictive text to finish my words.

This doesn't happen on any other app or website. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem? Good

Is it possible to use the writing database from the Android account/SwiftKey on the Windows 10 touch screen keyboard? I'm asking because I'm logging in to SwiftKey on Android with a Google account, and to Windows obviously with an Outlook.com account. The Windows keyboard doesn't seem to learn much, unlike the  Android SwiftKey, which is brilliant and has learn in over 10 years pretty much everything I ever write.

So how to use the brilliant Swiftkey database on the Windows touch screen keyboard?

On the Max 10 pad the backspace key deletes entire sentences and paragraphs at random. This feature cannot be disable, please add an option to disable it or your keyboard is not usable

I'm new to Swiftkey and I haven't installed the swiftkey yet. I hope to use it on my Android smartphone. Currently, I'm using the default keyboard. I'd like to learn new features I can use on Swiftkey.

About a week ago (about Sept. 25, 2020), my Google Voice Typing, which I use with SwiftKey (now owned by Microsoft), stopped working.   The microphone stayed on in listening mode for only about two to three seconds (depending on my device), unless I kept talking rapidly and unnaturally without any pauses, almost as though I were reading a book for one of those speeded up commercials.  If I paused at all, or stopped to think briefly, the microphone would shut off, and I'd have to tap it again to continue.  Sometimes it seems like it doesn't hear me at all after I tap 'Tap to start', or maybe just hears a few words, stops listening in the middle of a sentence, and then stops a few seconds afterwards, as though I had stopped speaking.  It never used to work like this… I was able to use it very efficiently to compose writings on Google Docs.  I would be able to pause from 5 to 10 seconds before continuing speaking.

I wonder if the speech buffer is filling up, and that's turning off the microphone, and then it stops a few seconds later because it's not hearing anything anymore.

This degradation happened about the same time on all my Android devices where I used Voice Typing.  I noticed that I was asked to agree to permissions again when this problem started, and the user interface also changed, so I think that this happened because of a faulty upgrade. 

I haven't yet found anyone else complaining about this happening recently.  I also wonder if it's some app I installed that uses the microphone, but I can't find anything so far. 

Any ideas…?  Thanks.  David

P.S.  I tried Voice Typing in Google Docs on my Chromebook laptop, and the microphone stays on for about 23 seconds after I stop talking.  This is how it should work on my Android devices, and pretty much how it used to work, although I'm not sure it stayed on quite that long.  I wish there were a setting on it so it would stay on indefinitely until you turned it off.

P.P.S.  I just replaced SwiftKey with Gboard on my Android tablet.  Now Google Voice Typing works just fine.  In fact, it appears to stay on for a very long time before turning off, just the way I would like it to act.  Strange that a Google update has just effectively destroyed one of Microsoft's SwiftKeys most attractive features…  Hopefully, it was just an unfortunate coincidence.

And too bad that Gboard is apparently not as good as SwiftKey.  I guess I'll find out...
