Ability to remove words from Dictionary (NOT User Dictionary
Posted: Sat Oct 01, 2011 11:34 pm
Hi,
I love this keyboard like many people do but i have a big problem with it. I need the ability to delete words from the dictionary so they don't get suggested. I am not talking about the user dictionary, i am talking about the regular English dictionary. The reason this causes so many problems for me is because there are so many random words -and sometimes i don't even think they are real words and i will never use them- that will pop up or auto-correct when i am trying to type something else. if i had a way to delete these random words then it wouldn't have this problem and it would increase my ability to type better. so far this is the only problem that i have with this keyboard and it causes somewhere between one or two wrong words in every message that i send.
i know by now, those of you who haven't noticed this or don't have this as a problem are wondering what an example would be. well, Here is one:
When i want o say "because" i always type "cuz" and the options that come up after typing "cuz" are these: Cuz Cuzco, vizor, vizier scuzzy, vizier's scuzzier, scuzziest. The thing is that i would never use any of these words other than "cuz" which is what i want to type. what happens is that if i make another mistake right after or if the keyboard doesn't pick up when i tap space then it goes ahead and it messes up the "cuz" word by auto-correcting it to any of these longer words and it also possibly mess up the word after.
SOLUTION: The ability to delete words form the regular dictionary (not user dictionary)
For those of you who are in the same situation as me, I have tried every keyboard that's out there and came up with the conclusion that Smart Keyboard Pro and Swift X are the two best keyboards available. note: the gingerbread keyboard can come close to these two keyboards in terms or accuracy but doesn't have all the extra features and sometimes useless options. Swipe is also a great keyboard - even if you are using it as a regular keyboard and not for swyping- but it has the same problem as Smart Keyboard Pro. Swift X is great but it also has a fatal problem that is similar to to the one i talked about above with Smart Keyboard Pro and that problem is that although you can delete any word form the dictionary -and there is only one dictionary not two like SKP- Swift X adds every word to the dictionary. so if you meant to spell "talk" and you ended up typing "talj" since k and J are so close, the next time you want to type "talk" there is going to be another word "talj" that is competing with the word talk and you could very easily get the wrong one. if i had the ability to stop Swift X from automatically learning new words as i type that would solve a big problem. It's funny that Smart Keyboard Pro has this feature to not let it learn new words as you type.
I really think that each one of those keyboards, swift x, smart keyboard pro and swype has a big problem, one you can't delete words from the dictionary and one you can't stop it from learning wrong words as you type. I think the request feature is pretty simple to implement and i see no reason not to do it. which ever one of these keyboards fixes this problem they would be the winner and i would that keyboard. My favorite option out of all of these would be if Swift X was to give me the option to stop learning words as i type. This would be better than having smart keyboard pro let me delete words from the dictionary because then i wouldn't have to delete all these words from the SPK dictionary (which there are a lot of useless words) and also because Swift X has a better dictionary to begin with.
There is also another problem that i have with Swype and Swift X that i don't usually have with SPK and that is when i type "U" both keyboards change it automatically to "I" and i am not sure what a solution is because these two letters will always compete.
