Samsung Keyboard IS Swiftkey??? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Look in the settings. You can enable Swiftkey Flow. The predictive text and learning are there too. I think they just skinned it. Also, as pointed out in another thread here, Installing swiftkey seems to cause stuttering lag. Could it be a conflict?

I believe you can enable swype, which is similar to swiftkey flow, but not quite the same thing.

It is SwiftKey Flow. It's in the settings of the default keyboard. But not completely SwiftKey as in the full keyboard just swype

Interesting, I dont see that option. I see the option for 'continuous flow' but nothing referring to SwiftKey.

Really? Hrmmm Lemme get a screenie...

Samsung worked with swiftkey for their stock keyboard, but I believe it is mainly for the auto correct / predictive text and flow. You can definitely feel swift key behind it when you enable the auto replacement (auto correct) but it still won't type as fast as swiftkey, simply because of the punctuation, you cannot just slide your finger to get ! or ? easily .. you need to hold the punctuation key, and it takes forever for it to display the available punctuation. If the punctuation worked just as swiftkey, I wouldnt need it anymore.
Overall I think its a nice effort, but it is still not a real swiftkey. The ability to unbind the keyboard from the bottom and move it around is nice though.. wish swiftkey had that as well.
On my SGH-M919V , the swiftkey flow is called "Continuous Input"

Samsung Keyboard without XT9 predictions and only spellcheck, possible?

So basically i like the Samsung keyboard layout but i would like spellcheck without XT9. I kinda miss the iphone keyboard. HAHA. Is there any kind of settings i can do to use this keyboard with spellcheck but without XT9 changing my word as i type it gets really confusing. I don't mind it showing me word predictions in the word bar thingy. I just don't like it changing the word im typing as im typing it. Its rather annoying.
Thanks in advance.

Other launchers and keyboards?

So I'd like to use apex launcher instead of the stock TW jedi launcher. I tried, and I end up having spen difficulties. When pulling it out, I don't get a shortcut pop up like I'm used to. Any way to fix that?
Also, I hate the keyboard. I'm so used to SwiftKey that I don't want to switch over, but I really do make use of the handwriting recognition.
Halp!

The stock keyboard *is* Swiftkey. Turn on "Predictive text" in the keyboard settings, and then click on the words "Predictive text" to get to the Swiftkey learning screen (learn from Gmail, FB, Twitter - it always learns from SMS). Kinda hard to find, but the stock keyboard works as Swiftkey for word prediction afterwards.
Also, if you use handwriting recognition a lot, from the keyboard setings, press on the word to "Handwriting" and try changing the "Recognition type" setting from the default "Stroke recognition" to "Complete recognition." You may find the "Complete" recognition much easier to use; I did.
The problem is, the stock keyboard isn't autocorrecting words. It'll provide suggestions of correct words, but it won't do anything if I'm off by even one letter. I can't seem to find a setting for this either. That's really the only thing preventing me from using it.
Ah, true, sorry. I can't find it either. I always had that option disabled in SwiftKey so I didn't notice that the option was missing.
I'm pretty quick to type so I always get typos lol. I don't even know why Samsung would even implement a keyboard without auto correction...

I assume your refering to Page Buddy. It a feature of TW and won't come up if your running another launcher.
You can go into settings>S Pen and click "Open Popup Note" it note will pop up when the S Pen is removed.
Hope that helps.
Yes I figured out the pagebuddy dilemma, guess I'll just add the widget if I really needed it.
As far as keyboards go, I still want to be able to use handwriting recognition, but that option isn't available in the standard SwiftKey as a toggle/button on the bottom like it is in the Samsung keyboard. I wish the Samsung keyboard would just have auto correction like all the others out there..

I'm in the same boat. I like SwiftKey, but it takes a lot of the functionality out of the S-pen. The stock keyboard isn't horrible, and the predictive type is actually pretty good, but it's not SwiftKey. The other negative is that SwiftKey predictions don't show up in notes, which ends up making it worse than stock.
What I would love is some kind of version of SwiftKey that allows for handwriting recognition.
I just wish I could make a space bar insert the correction on the stock keyboard. I like the number row, but am used to just pounding through typos.

I feel so antiquated. I still opt for t9 input over almost anything else.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

Haha, I can't even type with t9 anymore, I just tried lol.
I wish we could just get a keyboard with handwriting recognition...Samsung, what the hell were you thinking by not having simple autocorrect?

[APP][BETA]SwiftKey FLOW!

Hai everyone,
SwiftKey released their beta for SwiftKey Flow today. IMO it's swype but better - if you swipe a word, then go to the space bar, you can continue swiping without taking your finger off!

i received the email this morning, i have always liked swype better, but i am going to give this one a try to see if they have improved. so far i am liking it.
This keyboard is so awesome. This is so much better than the buggy one of the 4.2 keyboard on the market.

Not too shabby. I gotta admit that this SwiftKey app is good for what it is. It was so-so at first but like what it said on the can, it learns your habit (AI - like learning capability).
P. S. I would recommend to disable auto correction for obvious reasons unless you can set it the way you want. I am sure if you type some colorful words, it won't be long before it starts to have a dirty mind of its own.

and i am back to swype... flow would make the alt and shift keys on the keyboard toggle on and off and not turn off automatically with the next keypress. it also will not turn off predictions when the physical keyboard is out, even with the option selected in settings. when they fix this (swiftkey 3 does it still) i will switch to it. gotta get the kinks fixed for phones with hardware keyboards.
and yes i have posted these issues on the swiftkey beta forums.
At least I can switch the keyboard in the settings (it is labeled beta so I am already aware of that).

Samsung keyboard dictionary

Does anyone know if we can access the note 8's keyboard dictionary to edit it and if so how do I get to it?
I don't see anything in settings like most keyboards.
life is better with r00t
I might be missing something too... but my biggest irritation with this tablet is its compulsive auto correct. I often find it'll change my word... So I go back and edit it, press space for the next word and damn it! It's been auto corrected again! F*ck you! Leave my spelling alone!
Anyone know how to adress this issue?

Samsung keyboard settings: disable Predictive Input
Hmm... but that disables predictive input entirely.
What I'm looking for, is that suggested words come up, but they aren't auto-corrected.... in other words, it leaves my spelling as is unless I actually select the suggested word.

Can't find such option in Samsung keyboard. If you are willing to switch, Swype has separate options for suggestions and autocorrect.

Swype has it's own handwriting recognition, never tested so don't know if it's better or not.
It is also possible to keep Swype as normal keyboard and Samsung handwriting for pen input - in one of the threads here someone suggested an app which automatically switches default keyboard upon pen removal, alas don't remember it's name.

I'm trying out Swype right now. Swyping is fast and accurate, and the Dragon dictation is nice, but the handwriting recognition sucks (poor recognition and predictability), IMHO. I don't find it much of a hassle to switch between it the Samsung and Google keyboards (due a glitch in the return key not working) by pulling down the the notification bar and chasing input method.

found it:
[App][Root] SPenBoardSwitcher 2 - Changing keyboards depending on the S-Pen Position:
Have you ever wanted to use a certain keyboard for normal use, and a different one for the S-Pen! This will ease your life.
- When the service is running, the pen's position is detected and the keyboard is switched to the learned or pre-defined one (depending on the mode).
- The service runs quietly and efficiently. No popups, no interventions.
- Support for starting on boot
- Service supports two modes:
Learning mode: Tries to detect the keyboard you use in each pen position, stores the detected keyboard, and uses it the next time you take your pen off, or return it to its place.
Fixed Mode: The service only uses the keyboards you chose inside the application, even if you use another keyboard for a short time, when the pen's position, the keyboard is reverted back to the ones you chose.
app in post #2, there's also donate version in Play Store
anyone able to edit user dictionary ... or import text file ... right now its learning from facebook and gmail but cannot import it by whatsapp ... software like User Dictionary manager show blank dictionary ... samsung note 2 n7100

Swiftkey or Gboard?

I have to admit that the keyboard in the note 7 was the best keyboard I've used...
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good keyboard?
Swift key. Never found one as good.

Couldn't agree more. I installed Cobalt's "Blackberry Manager" and install the keyboard from there. https://cobalt232.github.io/blackberrymanager/
I like Gboard better. With Swiftkey touch and holding a letter to get symbols and accents doesn't work proper in some cases.
My Gboard freezes all the time if the keyboard was onscreen and I switch apps and go back to the earlier app.
I have to close the keyboard and reopen it. Super annoying.
Also, I think it's a bit dim. It's autocorrect is useless and it never gives me word suggestions.
Will try side loading the BB one.
