Hi, I have switched to android after 2 years. I remember earlier in android there was an option to add new words to gboard personal dictionary while typing itself, gboard used to underline unrecognised words in red,, by long pressing those words one can add it to dictionery. But now unrecognised words are underlined in blue and long pressing will only allow cut/copy/paste etc, and long pressing unrecognised words in suggestion bar shows only remove option,, no way of directy adding to personal dictionery. Please reply..

Hi guys,
do any of you know how to disable text underlining while typing anything? (For example writing an SMS). Before 2.1 a used that built-in SE keyboard, which did this as well, but I managed to disable it by disabling word auto-completion (or whatever it's called), but now on 2.1 I'm not able to get rid of it. I don't use that new SE keyboard, I use Smart Keyboard Pro instead, but it seems that it doesn't matter which keyboard I'm currenty using as they all (Androids native, SE, Smart KB Pro) underline the word I'm just typing.
I have tried to google it...without any luck.
Thanks for your answers
Letters Underline while Typing
I too would like to disable whatever setting causes the letters to be underlined while typing words. I have a droid-pro. I have unchecked settings as follows: show suggestions, auto-correct errors, auto-puncturate, auto-capitalization, show suggestions, auto-correct errors, highlight words for the touch keyboard. And I have unchecked settings as follows: auto-replace, auto-cap, auto-punctuate for the device keyboard.
Yet as I type the letters are underlined until a word is formed and the space bar pressed.
Please help! Thanks,
Not quite sure how to explain this. But on my bb I could go into the dictionary and add my own words. For example, if I typed na(space) it would automatically come up "sorry not available". Does anyone know.how to do this on an android phone? I tried to find an option on my Samsung fascinate and droid charge, no luck.

Some keyboards allow you to do acronyms like Slide It I think.
Smart Keyboard Pro allows you to do this.

You can add them as you go on swype.
You can add them as you go with the stock keyboard too. As soon as you start typing a down arrow appears. Hit that and at the bottom there is a button that says add word. Or you can you can through the settings menu, language and keyboard, touch input then to personal dictionary.
You guys are misunderstanding... Basically he wants to add shortcuts... For example typing abc I can make it type out "my name is cares"
Ok, so I've been searching around and trying different things but I still cannot get this to work like I expected: how can I use the physical keyboard on my Prime to type accented words without changing the keyboard layout?
On Windows I can get this done easily if I configure my keyboard layout as "US-International" and the input language as "Portuguese (Brazil)" (which is the language I want to type in). This way, when I press the single quote key, for instance, the system waits for the next typed letter to decide what to do: if I type a letter which accepts an accent (such as "a"), Windows will add the letter with the accent (in this case, "á"), otherwise it will just add the single quote.
On my Prime, if I change the default input language of the ASUS keyboard to Portuguese, I am able to type accented words but the keyboard layout is also changed to the Brazilian standard. This causes a problem: the positions of some keys are changed (about 8 of them). I could memorize the new positions of the keys, this would be fine except for the fact that I can't type question marks or slashes with this layout! (at least I didn't find any way to do so)
Then I tried using Swiftkey X, if I choose that as the default input method (with the Brazilian Portuguese dictionary enabled) and type using the physical keyboard I don't even need to type the accents because the auto-correct feature takes care of that for me, this is very good but there are some problems with this method:
- When typing question marks or exclamation points at the end of the sentences, the last word in the sentence ends up getting capitalized since I need to hold the "Shift" key to type those marks (I can work around this problem by typing the word, then a space and then the question mark or exclamation).
- If I need to type a word which is only one accented letter, depending on what the prediction engine does I might have to manually choose the right prediction by touching the screen (it gets the job done, but it's a little annoying). We have a few words like this in Portuguese, such as the word "é" which is used often (it means "is", while the word "e" means "and", that's why the prediction engine might suggest either of them).
Anyway, hopefully you guys understand the problem and have a good suggestion for me.
Currently I think the best solution is to use Swiftkey X and live with the small annoyances I mentioned (I'll e-mail them and maybe suggest they make improvements for this), but does anyone know of any other way I could make the physical keyboard on my Prime behave like the one on my Windows laptop?
Thanks in advance!
Is there a way to add a word to your dictionary while typing it without having to leave the screen you're on, go to the settings and manually add the word? I tried long pressing a word in the prediction selection area as well as long pressing a word that is underlined as misspelled. I got nothing so far.
bueller?
Is there a fix or mod that allowes the middle word from the suggestionbar in gboard to automatically be used?
I have some personal dictionairy words but i would like to avoid having to press the middle word everytime and disable the suggestionbar altoghether to clear up some space.
To clarify i would want to type my personal word, press space and let it autocorrect like the other words.
Is this possible?
Anyone?
