Anyone know a keyboard that puts the hashtag sign # on the front so I don't have to hit shift to get to it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] UrbanLagoon:
I wish it had one handed operations. That would make it perfect haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] yeloway:
I agree. Swiftkey has amazing predictions over the stock keyboard. I find myself using the swiftkey autocorrect moreso than the ones presented in the stock keyboard. (When you spell something completely wrong, swiftkey picks it up still. The stock keyboard will only go by the initial letters to determine the autocorrect suggestion, and if past that, it doesn't work well)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ultwill:
I find that sometimes initially my autocorrect doesn't boot up. I have to hit back and the text box again to make it appear. That being said I love swift key!:good:

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Evo:
I had to finally give up on SwiftKey Flow and revert to either using stock Keyboard or actual Swype. Flow has the potential to really be a monster, but right now, it's clearly BETA. Flow has issues with properly figuring out words that have two of the same letters in succession like "too," "tagged," ""feeling," "common," etc. And a lot of the time, those types of words are extremely popular words, and the absurd words that Flow will mistake the actual word for, either are completely different than the actual word, or are really unpopular words. That's the biggest issue for me, in addition to a few other minor issues that end up amounting one big issue. So, hopefully the non-BETA version will sway me back, but right now it's not functional for me.

SwiftKey 3 is what you want...

Samsung's begun using SwiftKey's predictive logic starting with the stock keyboard's in 4.1.2.

The only keyboard that seems to satisfy my typing style is true Swype. it gets my swypes perfect nearly every time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slicingtaco:
I prefer any other keyboard besides stock. They are just to over crowed and cluttered and are just awfull and sometimes confusing sometimes as they even have up to 2-3 characters in one freaking key. :mad:

Did everyone get the update? No flowing in every field yet but they supposedly fixed the memory leak or at least stopped most of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheGrandFinale2001:
I like Swiftkey, but I keyboard I use is Smart Keyboard Pro. It lets me add in my on custom words and shortcuts for words. Like if I type "bb" it will type out Best Buy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
So Swype came out with their new beta, has anyone tried it yet? I am trying it out as we speak, but i have gotten too used to flow through space. That and the Nuance voice recognition isn't the same as Google's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] blazed04:
Do you have the Swiftkey typing style set to precise or rapid? I remember one of my co-workers saying he had lag when set to precise but rapid was nice and smooth. I've only ever used rapid on my Note II and I've never noticed any slowdown.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
Well i like the fact that Swype actually asks you if you want to add words to the dictionary and you can also check out the dictionary itself. I keep switching back and forth between the two keyboards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] esincho:
U must be using an old version of Swype. The beta don't let u choose to add or not, it just do. Hate that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
The option to look at the dictionary is under personalization in the Swype menu. If you type out a word that isn't in the dictionary you can have Swype either add it automatically or you can manually add it. It's another option in the menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gabling23:
Is possible with the SwiftKey keyboard to choose between the languages holding the space bar like in the stock keyboard??

Inviato dal mio Nexus S con Tapatalk 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Emir5kurt:
I don't think it is possible to switch languages. It just detects the language you are using. I know this can be frustrating sometimes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
Well now i see myself going back and forth between swype and SwiftKey Flow. Swype is more forgiving when it comes to swiping errors than SwiftKey Flow, and you can use it in every field. But tapping the keyboard is a bit laggier than SwiftKey, and I think dragon dictation is not as good as Google voice typing. At least I can keep jumping back and forth between the keyboards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
Has anyone here used Kii keyboard? I downloaded it the other day and so far it is definitely interesting. Has a lot of customization to it. The predictions aren't as good as swype or swiftkey but it competes with them both.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] amithrichard:
Try the latest beta which swiftkey flow has offered. They've released an update on January second and it works like a charm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
I've tried it and I think it's great, but it doesn't work in all fields yet. I really like flow through space and using Google voice typing instead of dragon dictation is a plus. Once they let swiftkey be used in all fields then it will be hard to beat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
Something else about the kii keyboard is that it doesn't seem to learn my typing style, and it also doesn't seem to make a decent prediction. It's a good beta, but it has a way to go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Preston2291:
ive tried for the past day or 2 to download the beta from their site, and it just seems to time out, does anyone know of a mirror site for it? or is it only avail from them like the swype beta was
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mutantblack:
I just text downloaded it Again and it download fine for me. Use different browser may be ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hikaricloud:
I'm stuck between using the stock and flow. Got a mod for switching between two keyboards automatically when I remove the spen and I want to start using it... so I'm going to figure out which one I want soon.

The way flow spaces right after completing a word is annoying, I like the stock when it will just auto add a space before it completes the next letter. Gives me a chance to make sure the swiped word is correct before continuing. But the prediction is fairly good, maybe enough to overlook it. We'll see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
+ 1

But stuck between stock & swype! :confused: Swype is just so much better when it comes to getting the word correct even if your Very messy with the swiping.

But stock has 5 rows decisions, decisions:confused::eek:....

SwiftKey 3. Not even a close competition between the two. The stock keyboard just doesn't cut it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Evo:
I gave up on Flow. Too much betaesque issues that were very annoying. Plus, Flow doesn't work for me, anymore. It says the BETA trial is over so I can't use it. At any rate, I never thought I'd like stock, but I gotta say, Samsung and the Note II has me using a stock keyboard for the first time in years. Has anyone tried using the handwriting recognition feature?? It sucked before the 4.1.2 update, as you had to manually insert a space between each word. The update made it so that the space is automatically inserted. Also, the handwriting recognition feature is something that Samsung should be heavily recognized for. This thing can actually recognize cursive writing. I even go into a manuscript/cursive-hybrid writing a lot of times, and it recognizes what I'm writing about 99% of the time. It doesn't matter how precise or sloppy you are, it usually always understands. It's not necessarily faster than swyping or typing, but there are times I really don't feel like using those inputs and handwriting works better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
I'm still torn between SwiftKey Flow and swype. Swype picks up my swiping better, but it has dragon dictation which isn't as good as Google voice typing. SwiftKey does next word prediction great, but it still doesn't work in all fields. I can't wait to see what SwiftKey and swype have in store for their next betas!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bigjim1488:
I'd love to use stock but I make too many errors that the stock just does not catch. They really need to bring auto correct back and then I will be all over stock again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
The new beta is out and you can flow in more places now. I'm trying to think of any more things that they could put in to make it the best keyboard. Perhaps more predictions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Evo:
Just found the new BETA and all ready running into issues. Why can't this thing properly decipher between "shooting" and "spring"??? Seriously? Two completely different words using two completely different input gestures, and I can't get this thing to figure out I want to spell "shooting," for nothing. This is why I stick to stock or Swype. Too many crazy BETA issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jobethfun:
backspace question

So I just got the new Galaxy note 2 and love the phone, and most of the features of the keyboard, except for one thing. On my nexus when I do a mistake while swyping, I just backspace and it deletes the whole word and allows me to redo the word. With this one, it only does the last character, which is a pain when the part that is the mistake is the second letter of the word. Anyone know how to fix this? No setting change I could see.

Thanks, Joan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kiltedthrower:
Same here. I find I'm having to delete and retype a lot with the newest version of beta
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ruinkhan:
I just noticed that Sammy keyboard remembers any words that I enter. Not only english. For example when I chat with my russian friend I communicate to him in english alphabet but with russian meaning like "Kak dela (which means how are you)". Keyboard remembers this too and makes my life lot more easier. Does anyone know if I can save/backup this keyboard info in case I have to flash another ROM? Will titanium backup preserve all the saved entries on Sammy keyboard?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
So I have been going back and forth between the stock keyboard, swiftkey flow and swype. Swiftkey excels in tapping for typing and predictions, but the flowing part is still not as accurate. Swype is pretty accurate with its swiping but the tap typing is still slow. Stock keyboard is kind of in the middle of them both. Hard to pick one and stay with one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joe_Nalin:
Swiftkey Flow available in Play store

Just now swiftkey got an update on Play store to integrate flow (swype feature), it is just awesome and typing is a breeze..

I still slide backwards to delete a word just to find many more getting in :D.. but prediction and typing is so great!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Evo:
It's really not all that great. Still having the same beta-esque problems that initially made me stop using it, and go to the Samsung stock keyboard. On a review of the new SwiftKey 3 update that enables Flow, someone mentioned how Swype is still superior... at least the beta version. He (as well as a few others) noted how insane it is that the beta Swype is so much better than the pre-installed versions that came on our phone and other Android device. That prompted me to search for the Swype beta. I haven't used it like two years. The last phone I could use it on, was my HTC EVO 4G, and that was only through rooting. HTC will not allow you to run pre-installed Swype and beta Swype in tandem. So, I never tried again. To be pleasant surprise, I was able to download the Swype beta to my Note 2, and I'm liking better than Flow. I can use different themes that the pre-installed Swype lacks. And it just works better. It even recognized the silly words that SK somehow couldn't. I think I'll use Swype beta as my daily driver.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joe_Nalin:
I've been using this for more than a year, I believe you've personalized SK. The reason I'm stuck on to this is because of the awesome prediction after you have personalized it. I was with swype for more than a year and I always feel this is better and with the addition of Flow, its just awesome!

But as I mentioned, moving backwards for deleting a word due to habit is a issue for me.. Need time to get used to it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] intheb0x:
Been using SwiftKey for years, love it, not a better keyboard out there.

But flow is decent, it's currently integrated into the paid version of SwiftKey update in the play store right now but I use it normally and use flow once and a while . I like the fact that you can use flow whenever you want and not have to turn it off or enable anything to just use the keyboard regularly.

Also I heard someone say that it sucks that SwiftKey doesn't spell check or show predictions when using Google search or other text input areas on websites, well if I'm not mistaken, you're in luck because I'm pretty sure in the advanced section there's a option to turn that feature on because I have it and I'm pretty sure I had to enable it!

Happy swift keying!

The thing about swipe is that the over time, it seems to loose it's predictiveness if that makes any sense, I've seen many people talk about this issue and have experienced it myself but I'm still a swype beta account member so I'm off to try the new beta as we speak lol can't knock it until I try it!

EDIT

Just got the newest beta, wow it's improved, I'm on Swype beta 1.4.5.

That what everyone else is using?

It coupled with the mercury theme it's dead sexy!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
Swype beta is still a great keyboard, so is SwiftKey 4. I'm finding that the predictions are better on SwiftKey and the next word prediction makes it neat to tap and flow. The problem is that the flowing is sometimes not as forgiving as swype. On the other side, swype is the best for swiping, but the predictions aren't as good, and tap typing takes a little bit longer than SwiftKey. I'm sure I'll keep switching between swype and SwiftKey.

+1 on the Swype beta 1.4.5

Been using Swype since it was first released. Then it's was crappy. Now it's improved 100%. Don't like stock because as someone mentioned, when u go to delete a word. You have to delete the whole thing. Each letter at a time!!:mad: With Swype one click back the word is gone.

Does anyone here use touchpal? The keyboard isn't that bad. I like the animations when you are typing, i like the skins and the swiping up and down to enter numbers. The predictions aren't as good as SwiftKey for sure, but touchpal has a new feature coming out in a few weeks that is called touchpal wave which looks neat.

SwiftKey Flow is the best keyboard I've ever had...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
No need for the 5th. Git to learn your Swype quick commands. Swype from the Swype key to the #5 for numbers. Swype key to shift key will capitalize last written word.

I'll have to disagree with you. You must be taper. I hardly tap in my words. Swype is much faster. Plus if you type a word you don't want it. Hit delete the word is gone. Not delete letter by letter, kinda like on the Sammy keyboard!

The number shortcut works for me if the entry is only numbers. otoh if you have a lot of words that are a mixture of numbers and characters...then a dedicated number row is a lot faster. 1 step with a dedicated number row vs 2/3 steps...(either long press or switching back and forth)

my problem with swiftkey flow is that the flow doesn't work very well yet...and it isn't the smartest with the auto spaces... plus the prediction function isn't my thing...tapping while checking to see if/when the word will show up doesn't set a steady pace/"flow" for me. and actually slows me down..

normal full size keyboard I can hit 120wpm...normal software keyboard I can tap out 45ish if trying...

New Swype beta I can do 40ish without trying...1 handed too...that's a winner to me. first time I've found Swype to be usable for me.

Yeah, I've been on Swype beta for nearly two weeks now, and I love it. I can't get into Flow. I really like it but it's still very beta-like to me. It's more beta-like than Swype BETA!! Maybe one day SwiftKey will work all the bugs out, but it just isn't very well with accurately guessing the words you want to type, and I also find having to delete every single letter instead of just one gesture, being a huge issue.

Not for me because I have been using Swype since the Windows mobile days. And I never type :banghead: any of my words in. Unless it's a password of course. But that's just me. I'm about speed.

I have to say the stock keyboard is not to bad compared to previous samsung ones. The great feature I like is the one handed typing <<yea I drive and txt , I know ! but my job kinda forces me to have to but anyway.

I usually replace the stock keyboard within the first day of buying the phone. Just joined ATT from VZW, going to try it out for a day or two. I do like swiftkey and I beta tested Flo befire it was out so I might compare the two. The thing I hate about the stock keyboard it doesn't underline your misspelled words, anyone no of a good app or alternates ?
