Deleting default words out of personal dictionary - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all.
Does anyone know of a way to delete a word out of your personal dictionary that came with the phone? I want to delete a name, because my wife spells her name differently. So every time I use speech to text, it spells her name incorrectly.

I don't know if you can easily but I wonder if the personalized recognition feature would learn it if you correct it in voice search enough times.

It's in the options under keyboard and input.

Both spellings are pronounced the same.
@MissionImprobable:
I couldn't find the option under my settings. I am using 8pen as my keyboard.

Bump.
Having a similar problem on my N7000, and have found no solution so far.
In Brazilian Portuguese "vc" is the short use for the word "vocĂȘ" (meaning 'you'), but the default keyboard always replace it with uppercase "VC", like it was some acronym for something.
I've tried to add "vc" to the user dictionary, but in the end, the system uses the VC, stored on the system dictionary

Swype - IM vs I'm

Is there a way I can delete the word "IM" from Swypes dictionary? It's driving me insane! I don't ever use it yet it always autocorrects to that when ever I try to write "I'm"

Highlight the word, then hit the Swype key. It will confirm that you want to delete it.
Edit: I think I'm wrong... It seems like it only works with words you add to the dictionary. I tried deleting "IM" and it wouldn't let me.
Are you on beta or pre-installed? I never had that issue with beta.
I'm on beta. I don't know why it keeps suggesting it.

Just for clarification, are you swyping or typing. I just noticed that swyping straight down always gives me I'm, and typing give IM.
Typing. I like the Swype layout but to type on. I can't seem to get used to any other keyboard besides the Sense keyboard.

Oh, in that case I have no idea how to change it. Maybe you could try getting used to swyping? Or maybe a new keyboard?
I know they have their own forum. You might want to try asking there.
You can delete words by going into settings-> language and-> keyboard settings-> swype settings-> personal dictionary and delete the word. Have you tried this?
Personal dictionary only lets you delete words you personally put in.
I'm having the same problem with some stupid typos with ICS 4.0 keyboard from market. I uses slideit but it became unstable and would crash even after full wipe of app/data and clean install.

Keyboard settings/ Predictive text/ My word list.
But when you reboot phone everything will be wiped because of a bug Samsung didn't bother to fix in the update.
Ok thank you for answer.

Yel its annoying that there isnt a numbers row but I've got used to long processing the top row in which the alpha characters are shared with numbers.
Its not bad once you get used to it

Yeah I'm used to it too but I feel we are wasting a lot of real estate here on this other keyboard... Maybe smile faces... Hmm there's a good idea

My keyboard has numbers across the top...or am i not understanding your post? I absolutely love this keyboard just becauseof that feature.
I downloaded perfect keyboard to get autocorrect back but then you lose the ability to use the pen for input
This is pretty crappy on samsung's behalf. A keyboard without autocorrect?

intelinside83 was referring to the lack of a number row on the stock Android 4.2 keyboard. The stock Samsung keyboard is quite different, including the inclusion of the number row.

This really is quite silly of Samsung. The keyboard has auto prediction and in my experience the auto prediction works quite well. The problem is that the keyboard will only input what you actually type regardless of whether or not it's correct. If you want to enter a predicted word you have to tap it yourself. I can't imagine it would be too difficult for Samsung to change the keyboard to favor the top predicted word, which would essentially be auto correct.
I'm still using the Samsung keyboard though because I'm getting along with the Swiftkey flow integration rather nicely.

I'm actually really happy for the number row since I use numbers frequently and it was a pain having to constantly toggle it on/off. And, that auto-correction is disabled as I usually disable it any. Just had to turn off auto-spacing and auto-capitalization because it was wreaking havoc on authenticating into web sites like this one as it was adding a space in-between my password. Good riddance I say...

It is reported that upcoming 4.1.2 (not 4.2) enhancements will include integrated "swyping" functionality into the keyboard so it wouldnt make sense for them not to rectify the autocorrection issue.

Did the stock Sammy JB keyboard in the GS3 have no autocorrect either? Or does that phone still run ICS?
I might just have to switch to Swiftkey or Thumb Keyboard again - but that number row is GREAT - it is hard to turn away from it.
Yeah I went back to the stock samsung keyboard just cuz of the numbers... silly but I'm loving it! Just hooing for auto-correction. Maybe if they dont fix it someone will come out with a 3rd party with numbers!

Yup, no autocorrect. I'm using Swiftkey now.
It seems the Samsung keyboard is actually a variation of the swiftkey flow. I wonder if it's something to do with that. The flow part works pretty well and I love the number row

For those who like Google's keyboard better than sense.

I like Google's better simply because it corrects words like were to we're.
Problem using the default email app with Google keyboard. Any time you click on a word to fix it, it will automatically enter the word in between the old word. I like the fact that I can click on any word and see additional suggestions but for it to always ent the word in between doesn't work for me.

I believe there's a way you can add a nickname for contacts in the contacts app. Maybe it's a name it's having a hard time recognizing?
I have a hard time using that feature as I'm Hispanic and it has a hard time recognizing the Hispanic names I spit at it so I read about that nickname tip. I've yet to try it though.

Yeah I think thats it cause Katie seems to be the only one that works. But here's the catch it says the names like "text dad......" Then it says contact not found I don't have a clue maybe its a setting or they need to send a patch out. Thanks for the feedback

Sorry I couldn't help any more! The good thing is that voice recognition can only get better from here on out, so there's hope yet!

See that in language settings you have kept your native language. For your accent to match your native language should be kept. For example if you are in India you should set your language as 'English India'. Then it should work.
Hit thanks if I have helped you.

But the thing is, I don't have an accent. I was born in the US speaking English. Would setting it to the alternate language so that it can recognize that languages names interfere with regular every day things that I'd say in regular English?
