I recently ran into a very strange problem where my autocorrect thinks it should learn from every single thing I do. Wednesday and Friday do not auto capitalize unless I spell it wrong, and the rest of the days of the week capitalize just fine. My guess is I typed Wednesday with a space after it, realized I needed punctuation and hit backspace, and then the autocorrection undid itself, teaching Android that I don't like to capitalize that particular day of the week. I tried adding "Wednesday" to my personal dictionary with the shortcut "wednesday", but that didn't do anything. Does anyone know how to edit all of this hidden personal dictionary crap? I find it odd that there would be an accessible personal dictionary that doesn't do anything working together with non accessible personal dictionary that actually functions.

Hi,
I have mistakenly entered a misspelled word in my hero and unfortunately it’s one of the most common word in my language (Swedish). It’s very frustrating to have to click the correct word every time.
Is there any way to remove words from the user word list?
Also, I thought there was some intelligence built into the whole thing and that it would learn that I prefer the most chosen word an at some stage start to suggest the correct one. However, after choosing it SEVERAL times it still suggests the erratic word. Is it me or T9?

First time android user so I don't really know if it's me or the phone, but for some reason whenever I'm midway through a sentence and type "its", it automatically corrects it to "It's" with a capitalized "I", even if it's not at the beginning of the sentence. I then have to select "its" from the recommended words instead which ends up not adding an apostrophe.
The same thing happens when typing "i", sometimes it auto-capitalizes it and other times it doesn't no matter where I type it in the sentence. Neither of these are in my user dictionary, and adding them doesn't change anything either.
Anyone have an idea of what might be going on? This is with touch input btw since I'm not a fan of swype just yet.
I just got the OTA upgrade to ICS on my Springboard..
i noticed that when typing a message or an email it will underline all the words in red. the system thinks that all the words that I have spelled is incorrect. Especially when I know they are spelled correctly.. Even simple two letter words are underlined.
any ideas???
I think it is the ability to choose that word for editing, picking a different version of word, suggestions, adding to dictionary, and or deleting said word

The update changed me from Android keyboard to swipe keyboard I just changed it back to the regular android keyboard, and then I bought SwiftKey I'm pretty sure it's still on sale at the play store
I am using swiftkeyand the lines are still there I still think it's an editing feature

It has got to be a bug in the system because whenever I turn off the spell checkr the underlines goes away.
As Huawei is Chinese company they simply deleting lots of things not related to China, including spell-checking. There no dictionaries.
You can try this but it won't work with most languages. Just few, including English.

Dodging Chinese spell checker mess
The Chinese are messing the Android spell checker instead of making an additional one of their own.
Dangerously, the other users are proposed a rooted, risky repair.
Why not
1) Build another version of the AOP spell checker to simply install/setect beside the messed one?
2) As a bonus, make the AOP spell checker multi-language, or, rather, multi-dictionary?
Hunspell does multi-dictionary. One just stores the needed dictionaries in a folder by the piece. They could be both in system or in user file space for easy copy of free Hunspell dictionaries from the Internet. One can use specialized dictionaries like medical, engineer, ...
I personally installed Kii keyboard providing spell checking in one language and Touchpal key providing word completion in several languages simultaneously.
has anyone had issues with swype not using it's custom dictionary but what appears to be the built OS custom dictionary (i'm assuming it's an android thing and not a LG thing)?
when i first setup swype it worked as expected. but it seems that the built in dictionary has taken over. here are two examples:
i prefer to see/use "LoL". don't care for "lol" and really dislike "Lol". the swype custom dictionary pays attention to the spelling and the capitalization of the words in its custom dictionary. the Android custom dictionary does not. hence most of my LoL's come out as Lol's.
the other is noticeable when sending email. when working properly, i can email to my work address by entering my first initial last name and it autocorrects properly and the email client presents the correct address. but when not, it autocorrects to an incorrect word and i thus have to type my name to the last letter. (the last letter is where where the autocorrect is wrong)
is there any way to disable the built in custom dictionary? I've tried unchecking 'spelling correction' from the Language and input menu. I've tried adding LoL and my firstinitallastname into the built in dictionary...but that doesn't work. i prefer to use the swype dictionary, mainly cause it works. it finds my name and pays attention to capitalization.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try this, go to settings > general > language and input > uncheck spelling correction at the top. I think that's the default Android OS spell check or the one associated with the android keyboard. See if that helps.
if i go to apps and clear the Settings and Cache for Swype...then go to use it again (and go thru the setup) it works as it used to and as i expect. but once it try to add anything to the dictionary, it changes the behavior.
first and foremost, I'm slightly intoxicated, and therefore I apologise for any misspellings, incorrect location for posting or general not-making-sense-ness.
Background
For some reason, since getting my Nexus 5, i remembered my love for the stock android keyboard and never re-downloaded swiftkey.
I've noticed the (below) behaviour, and wondered about the workings of it....
the problem (not really a problem, but i didnt know what else to title it....)
while writing, if i accidently misspell variations of the f-word, (eg fudked), the word gets (red) underlined, and upon clicking the only suggestions are other child friendly words, varying much further away from the original word. if i manually correct this, the red underlining removes itself as if it knows this word, yet its obviously never suggested.
Reasoning
I completely understand why this would never be suggested as a replacement word for unknown spellings.
(stop longing out my life, what is your...) Question?
google has a safe-search filter enable/disable option. is this possible for my dictionary?
I want to be able to stop this filtering of suggestions. im not asking how to, im just curious to know where this filtering is defined, and where i should start to play around.
Thankyou
....for reading this, i apologise for any offendings.....
