hello
Have checked the forums and found nothing.
But windows phone keyboard has this great feature, after writing your text or message. You can then go back through the whole message just tapping on misspelt words once and it will highlight the whole word and give you suggestions that you can pick from.
Its such a great feature, I've looked for a keyboard that replicates it but have found none. they only give suggestions as you type and not after you've finished writing, which breaks your train of thoughts.
Does anyone know of a keyboard that does this.
Which Android version are you on? The stock android keyboard of 4.1 does the exact same thing.
I'm on 2.2 froyo, which is old.
I've downloaded the jellybean keyboard off of google play store, but it only offers suggestion as i type. Not after i have finished typing and when i look back i realise I've misspelt words.
Better keyboard does this also. The reason you don't see it is that it needs to be built into the system for 3rd party apps to use it. If it is not there then no app will do it.

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a keyboard layout that has the letters in their "normal" places. I've tried a number of keyboard apps and none of them are laid out like a real keyboard.
While I'm at it, is there anyway to disable what I can only presume is "error correcting" that sometimes doesn't type a letter I press? I'll be typing a word like "well" and it will pop up the little preview on the keyboard as I type w and e, but only e will show up, presumably because it assumed that the w was a mi****. I've disabled all the obvious settings under keyboards in Settings. Perhaps it's a touchscreen thing, however, I'll look into it.
Also, with VEGAn 5.1, it's no longer acting correctly when connected to the PC via USB. It will appear to act correctly until I try to transfer a file at which point the PC hangs up and the connection is severed and the button on the gtab returns to "Turn On File Sharing". Not a deal breaker, but a bit annoying since now I have to transfer files via my micro sd card.
What is a normal keyboard for you ?
Where are you located, in US ?
You know that keyboard layout changes from country to country !
It changes minimally for most countries using roman characters. But yes, a US or UK keyboard would do the trick. I don't care if backspace or shift or whatever are in odd places, that I can get used to, but I can't seem to find a keyboard that has the three main rows of keys offset in the standard manner. I realize this is undoubtedly a side effect of android 2.2/.3 being a phone OS on a tablet, but I would hope that there would be a real keyboard somewhere. Maybe I'll need to look into what's involved in making a keyboard app.
xdzt,
I suggest you keep trying with the Tnt Western keyboard that is stock on it.
I had never used a touch keyboard before and used the stock kb for the first
time. Since then, I have used a few others that got installed in place of the
stock kb.
I like the spread out letters and the split let's my long thumb also do the "thumb"
thing. I also like the .com and @ and other extra things it automagically brings
up when you need them.
Who knows? It may grow on you!!!

Does anyone know if the stock TnT Western Keyboard is available as an apk? I would really like to run this keyboard under CM7.
Thanks,
JD
JD,
Not an expert on this, but yes, I'm pretty sure there is. You might search in the
forums -- this is not the first time someone has asked this. And yes, you might
also use Root Explorer or one of the other file managers to find it on the G-Tablet.

Hello,
I'm practicably legally blind and reading emails/SMSs and text in games is damn near impossible for me.
I've got the Samsung Ace and I've found an app to switch the answer slider with a big-ass button, I'm using WP_Clock (Which was mentioned here, thanks!) to see the time and date.
I've rooted and tried a few font resizers but none worked and the ones that did only worked on the English font (most of my phone is in Hebrew).
Does anyone have any idea how can I deal with this, other than getting Android eyes
Oh, one more thing:
I've used Total Recall and CallRecorder to record my calls, both record me fine but the other side through the mic, any idea if there are other apps that can record both sides at the same quality?
May all who read this post be touched by his noodly appendage,
Sam.
EDIT:
Oh yeah, My doctors told me it'll be easier to read white text on a black background, so I downloaded a few of those modified apps (Gmail and DropBox). If you know of any others, I'd appreciate a mention.
Noob to android!!
On my Samsung GT 5570, there is an accessibility option under "options", with text to speech features. But looks like the phone has to download several components. Have not tried them, will try them out if you are interested.
Running Gingerbread 2.3.3 (but it was there in froyo 2.2.1 Africa version too).
Saw that option on my run-through of the device (saw isn't exactly the word...)
Not that comfortable using an actual magnifying glass on your cellphone.
Can't stand that thing, that's why I'm posting, looking for something a bit more comfortable like resized fonts and such.
Thanks for trying though, appreciate your assistance!
Using accessibility features in Android
Ok. I have a Samsung GT S5570, "mini".
I have upgraded from 2.2.1 Froyo to 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
To enable accessibility features, more specifically, text to speech, you need to go into two options,
1, Settings > Voice input and output
2. settings > accessibility
I cannot remember which one I opened first, but the phone asked me to enable data downloads / background sync as I entered both menus. ("Always on GPRS" - if you are new to android - especially were using Nokia phones so far).
Once the data is downloaded, go to #1. First entry is "Listen to an example". You can change the language and speed of text to speech engine in other menu options below. At the bottom, I have and entry, which says "engine" and underneath, "PicoTTS". This means required data and text speech engine are installed on the phone.
I guess the available languages are dependent on the ROM you use - you probably need to have the African ROM. (Hope somebody will correct me here).
Here is how to actually enable the phone to read the screen,
Settings > Accessibility > Talkback.
Just enable Talkback. That is it.
Again, I appreciate your help but as I've said, I'm not too comfortable with the TTS and prefer, as long as I have other options, not to use it.
If anyone has any other apps in mind, I'd love to know.
Otherwise, The built in TTS has been checked and discarded, thank you.
I just saw that Swype has a new beta out on Engadget that integrates voice recognition from Dragon. Well, it installs with no problems on the Prime, and the voice recognition component is amazingly accurate. I thought that some of you may want to give it a try, so I posted a new thread.
This entire post was just "typed" with the new Swype voice recognition. It is pretty cool. http://beta.swype.com

I had been using Flex T9 keyboard for a while (made by the group that just purchased Swype), and loved the dragon dictation.
Tried the new beta of Swype yesterday, and it's the best keyboard IMHO for our tablet. I can't go back to regular typing since using swype-based keyboards, and the Swype keyboard allows you to miniaturize the keyboard to make swyping easy in both landscape and portrait mode.
Love it.
Typing right now from the keyboard you should probably go get it I can type very quickly and accurately
Thanks for the link. I am typing to you right now through Dragon dictation. While this does work very well it's hard to choose between this and thumb keyboard. I also have SLIDE It keyboard also. Being able to through and Dragon dictation in does come in handy though I have to admit. I might have to test out which is faster between the 3 that I have. I will try using this swipe for a while and see how it performs. It's going to be hard to choose. Slide it is just as good and is more customizable. I do like how I can shrink the Swype keyboard though. I'm just testing this out now so don't mind me if I sound (write) like a robot right now..lol
Thanks again!
Does this app not work with the Transformer Prime?
I am having difficulties installing the app, the url for downloading the installer states that it is not an android phone.
Does it support tablets?
EDIT:
Found the solution to my problem in the FAQ
I click the link in my activation email to download Swype, but I'm told that my phone is not an Android device, even though it is! What do I do?
This message means that you may have your browser in "desktop mode", or are using something other than the Android default browser (like Skyfire or Opera Mini). To turn the Mobile View setting back on in the Android browser - Open your browser settings (click menu > more > settings) and locate the option for "Mobile view."

Hey Guys,
Does anyone know how to or which keyboards offer word shortcuts? Like for instance on my iPhone when I type "omc" and then space i get the "On my way".
Same way I've setup the word "eid" so whenever i type eid i automatically get my email address inserted.
Cant find any info on this and i refuse to believe that IOS offers this and android doesn't.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Basically this is what i am looking for but for android

Smart keyboard pro. I've just downloaded on play store & have got all my old apple shortcuts saved

This is what you're looking for. Just installed it today. Keyboard shortcuts, and gesture typing!
Hello!
since Google Now became available I am always in the dilemma of wanting to use it on the one hand, but not sacrificing the very fast option to search for things on the other. The problem is: when Google now is activated and I use the swipe-up gesture it will open the usual Google now screen... but not my keyboard to type and search sth. When Google Now is deactivated, it works so flawlessy and fast that I swipe up from wherever I am and directly can type stuff.
So my question is: is it possible to combine both systems... means: having Google now, but getting a keyboard shown immediately when starting it.
My device right now is the Xperia Z3C... not rooted yet... but I will probably do that soon as I miss so many things from my old devices (which were all rooted and had custom ROMs running)
Thanks in advance
