[Android Software Development] Atharkhan101:
For 1 whole year I regularly contacted Swiftkey by email and their facebook page and asked to fix this and they never fixed it, the biggest issue/bug is, Swiftkey is taking COPIED text as TYPED text. It should take typed words only (this is big reason behind inaccurate/unneeded word prediction). Could you do something about it?

Below is the email i wrote to Swiftkey and they never implemented or fixed these in their recent versions.

Improvement idea #1:

This is the big reason behind incorrect/inaccurate word prediction.

I was a die hard fan of Swiftkey until I realized that Swiftkey is taking COPIED text as TYPED Text resulting in unwanted prediction of words we already removed by selecting 'Do not predict xxxx'. STOP THIS PLZ

I checked this twice thrice and informing you. The problem is: Saving the words what we type is good but BAD/WORST part is, it also saves the words when you just copy text from other sources for example: Copying random text or paragraph from webpages, Ebooks and Documents. Those text are NOT TYPED by the user and those words GET COPIED to internal dictionary of Swiftkey which I don't like to be predicted while I type. I copy some text/paragraphs from webpages to read it later but it doesn't mean that I like all the words from that copied text/paragraphs and would not want those words predicted--as it can contain whatever words which i never typed and just copied it and while typing those words come across as prediction.

You can Experiment yourself.

1. Just copy the below words in a new note and save it. (do this on your android mobile not on PC) I would never use the below words ever.

2. Now, Suppose, you do not want the word 'Chateau' never ever to appear or predicted.

3. Open another new note and try to type 'chateau', you'll see 'chateau' appears in prediction bar. Long press the word 'Chateau', a message pop out saying 'Do not predict 'chateau' again.', hit 'OK.

4. Now, open the first note with all the below words saved and copy word 'Chateau' and see it will stupidly gets added to the dictionary of Swiftkey and you'll see them come across while you type.

Did you just observed ? You copied the word, you could have copied 2-3 paragraphs from the webpage which could contain more or few words which you never wish to type/use. it should not be added by Swiftkey.---this is exactly what is happening and it is leading to worst word predictions. Yes, if you rather type the entire word 'Chateau' then it should predict. Got my point ?

Words:

chateau

chatman

chatham

zuzana

zyban

zuma

zu

beau

beaune

beauregard

Improvement idea # 2:

I use Swiftkey's compact mode only to type and it is good in portrait mode. But in landscape mode, the other half screen is occupied with the empty space of keyboard. (Please check the attached picture).

Improvement idea # 3:

Sync from Whatsapp needed as many guys use whatsapp than facebook these days.

Improvement idea # 4:

Want to view dictionary words in each language and want to remove the words i never use.

Improvement idea # 5:

Shortcuts for cut, copy, paste like swype keyboard please.

Improvement idea # 6:

'Choose input method' notification bugging.

Improvement idea # 7:

Provide option to set flow trials color and width.

Could anyone fix atleast the idea #1 ? Swiftkey team is waste they give irrelevant replies to our emails, they never carefully read what user is saying.

Thank you,

Athar
