Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

Hello,

I am trying to install SK for the first time on my daughter's phone. When I try to connect/create SK account, it shows me a new window for me to choose Google account or Microsoft account.

I am trying to use Google account, a popup ask me to choose the G account, I do so and then nothing happens and the window asking me to choose G account or Microsoft is still here....

Phone : Galaxy A5 2017

Android : V 8.0.0

SK : 7.3.2.19

Please help me.

The best way to post a question

I see the keyboard having a noticeable lag when using on an android oppo phone. They use a custom ROM called colorOS. This seems to happen for all applications. I tend to use finger typing rather than flow.

Any thoughts?

Hello,

I use a Google Pixel 3a (Android 9) and SwiftKey 7.5.8.7.

But there is not a single local backup function in the settings.

I have downloaded 3 languages, but there is no local backup function to backup and restore the downloaded language locally.

Additionally there is no possibility to locally backup and restore the learned language data.

Please fix SwiftKey developer. I hope when Android 11 is released it should be fixed by then. Thank you.

Microsoft SwiftKey has an issue with Android, that ignores HTML attributes for autocapitalization.

I filed a bug with the Google Chrome team here https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1092224#c13 

It's their suggestion that having tried multiple keyboards which do work, this is a bug in Microsoft SwiftKey.

I can confirm I have now switched my device back to the Google Keyboard which works as intended with modern HTML, but you may want to have capitalization work on a broader remit, than that of a toggle switch.

In certain apps a green text box appear beneath the typing field do provide a way for me to attach a screenshot for better understanding.

i had to do a factory reset recently due to me losing an important app. this made my symbol keyboard layout look weird. i swear "?" and other symbols are not where they supposed to be, my muscle memory tells me the new layout is wrong. it also looks like it's missing a row or something? "(" and ")" were on the left side before. i'm really used to that layout, is there any way to get it back? maybe it was simply an update of sorts? or is it a theme issue? phone is huawei p smart 2019. i honestly don't know what to do at this point. please help.

SwiftKey does not automatically turn off the capitalization on HTML input tags which feature autocapitalize=off. That is very annoying, many web apps use this to prevent unwanted automatic capitalization on certain inputs. SwiftKey ignores this.

See https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/04/autocapitalize for details.

In Arabic 123 layout, the symbol in the attached screenshot is supposed to make letter "taller" like this:

بـســـــم

But in this layout it doesn't do this, while in Arabic 123 (Original) it is right.

I'm a long time swype user. Then when they killed it I moved to gboard. Now I'm giving swiftkey a go, I'm in finding it awkward. With swype it was advised to swype full sentences and then go back and edit. Is there a shortcut to capitalise a word. In gboard you can highlight the word and cycle with the shift key, capitalise the first letter, capitalise all letters and all lower case. Is there a way to do this on swiftkey?

What is the leftmost emoji category next to most recent icon (clock)? Is it most used?

Mi Pad4, Galaxy S8 has same problem

Brand new to SK! In fact, to my delight, I discovered it only 30 minutes ago! It works flawlessly on my iPhone.

However, at the shortest pause, the mic turns off on my Android tablet. Annoying. So, what am I missing?

The flow feature sometimes misses the start of the words that I'm typing. Perhaps I type quite fast and this problem seems to get worse as I speed up. 

For instance, if I type "and" I will often end up getting the word "he". Looking at the (qwerty) keyboard, you can see that the first part of my swipe has been thrown away and the algorithm has done the best it can from the last two letters "nd" and come up with the word "he".
