Importing words to user dictionary in general? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there,
I wonder why it's so hard to implement something like a txt-import or a common user dictionary (which doesn't depend on each keyboard itself)!? Is there any way to import words to the gingerbread stock keyboard or to the go keyboard? Sometimes I simply can't switch to try different keyboard because I would have to retype all of my words again, which is a real pain. When I was a keyboard app developer, I would first implement a import function, which really should be easy to do... Or is there a hack way to somehow interfer with the data of a app and simply edit the data-files!?
Thanks!

Easy switch between languages

Hello
I often find myself switching between typing 2 different languages, and it's very annoying that it requres like 3 presses to change typing language.
Anyone know of an app that will make it easier to switch?

Thanks for the suggestion
It's not exactly what I'm looking for, since that would still require multiple presses to change my language if I'm inside an application. What would be better is if it added like 2 buttons somewhere above the keyboard perhaps, one with "English", and one with "Norwegian", or that you could swipe the keyboard to change languages or something like that
It's for when I'm talking on MSN on my phone, I'll have one conversation where I speak English, and the other Norwegian, and then I need an easy way to switch between
Try Smart Keyboard. It lets you setup functions for swipe up/down/left/right, including switch languages.

Autocorrect tweak

Hey all, this isn't really gnex specific but I have a question about the stock jb keyboard: I'm really liking it and all, but having just come from iOS there's something that irks me a bit. Specifically while it does autocorrect on typing a space or punctuation, it doesn't do so when, for example, hitting send in the text message or email editor. This is annoying for me because I'd become used to that behaviour in iOS and now am sending off texts in which the last word is essentially gibberish...
Any way to change this in the stock keyboard? Alternatively, is there a different (and good) keyboard with this feature?
Cheers

Add a space at the end. It will not auto correct until it knows you are done with the word. What you are describing is predictive text and it does not "auto predict". It will predict and show words above the keyboard that you can choose, but that is all.

[Q] Gesture keyboard import possibility?

Hello together,
I like the new gesture typing fuctionality of Android 4.2.
A little while ago I used Swype and SMS to Swype to import all the dialect words.
For me, the dialect words are very important and to input them manually would take ages.
Now I am wondering if there is something with the functionality of SMS to Swype (app, setting, mod,...) for the stock gesture typing?
I couldn't find an answer trough the search functionality.
Thanks

[Q] How to turn off personal dictionary (LG Keyboard)

Hello,
I like the G3's keyboard, but I can't seem to disable the personal dictionary. I don't want it to save every word I type. Is there a way to disable this and still keep the built-in word prediction without personal words?
Thanks!

Dictionary has made up words, how do I delete them?

So I must have at some point added the word "yoy" to my personal dictionary accidentally, and now my phone prefers it over "you." Problem is, long pressing on the word "yoy" on the list of suggested words above the samsung keyboard doesn't give me the option to delete it like many other words have. How do I get random fake words I accidentally added out of my dictionary?
If it matters I'm using the latest verizon OTA, samsung keyboard, with swype. Any other info you need I'm happy to provide. Thanks!
try Long Press on the word when it comes up as a suggestion and then you should be able to delete it as a 'learned word'
OR
You can try "Settings - Language and input"
Select Samsung keyboard
Select Predictive text
You can disable it completely, or disable Personalized data, or maybe Clear personal data and see how that goes.
Horrible answers and a terribly frustrating keyboard. I'd love to burn my phone as a result of the horrible dictionary included. Note to the Samsung team that built this dictionary: go hinge, obviously you have no idea what you're doing.
