[Q] Make swype dictionary forget words? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On the SGS2, if the Swype dictionary doesn't know a word, you simply type it out as normal, then press space and in the future that word will be saved in the default swype dictionary so you can swipe it the next time.
But sometimes i don't know how to spell a word, so i type it in wrong and Google corrects me, but swype now remembers it. Or I type in an acyonym and now Swypes remember that too.
How can I delete "junk" that I have added to the Swype dictionary through just normal usage? I dont want to switch to Samsung Keyboard everytime I type something I'm not sure of.

Incase you want to make the Swype Dictionary forget a word, simply type out the mispelled word, long tap on it and click "Select Word".
Therafter, click on the Swype Options button on the Keyboard (the one on the bottom left corner). You would get an option asking if you want to delete the word from the swype dictionary. Voila!

Swype keyboard language switcher to left of space bar

The little language switcher button on Photons stock Swype keyboard drives me insane i bump it all the time(clumsy fingers) and it takes a while to get my keyboard back to English, is there another Swype keyboard that i can use that wont have this?! It is honestly the biggest flaw i see with this device. Or is there perhaps a few files i can edit within the phone so the button doesn't do anything? I do like the capabilities of Swype, just hate this language button, guess its what happens when i get a global phone.. Thanks!
Seconded!
I have this problem, too. And what's with the "post too short" error?

Custom dictionary

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"

Go SMS Pro

I search this forum, AT&T Galaxy Note I717 Themes and Apps and did not get any results to this issue, so here it goes...
I can add words to the dictionary, but the dictionary does not hold the words in memory for any length of time. When I am in the app, I long press on a word to add to dictionary and I get the little saved message. However, if I exit out or reboot the phone, it seems to not have the word in the dictionary and I have to add the work again.
Is there something I am doing wrong? Is there some other process I need to follow?
Thanks in advance.
I add words straight into the keyboard dictionary. I haven't done it from within GoSMS Pro. When I add it in the keyboard dictionary it seems to stay.
I will give it a shot. I am assuming I go for settings, keyboard...

I didn't realize how hard it was to get to till I just looked to type it out
settings - language and keyboard - samsung keyboard - xt9 advanced settings - xt9 my words- settings button then add.
It still does not seem to hold the words added to the dictionary added via both methods. Does it matter using your method words are being added to the Samsung Keyboard and I am using a Go SMS keyboard?
Ahhh. I'm using the Samsung Keyboard which does save my words. I haven't tried the GO SMS Keyboard yet.

[Q] Gesture Typing and "bad" words

I have a Nexus 4 running stock 4.2.1 (rooted) and here is my issue with the gesture typing and predictive text. Anytime I try to use a word that google apparently believes is not appropriate like "****" I have to stop and and type it out. Mind you that spell check does not think it's a misspelled word so there is no option to add it to the User Dictionary. It just will not show up as an option for either predictive text or gesture typing. Obviously these words have somehow been identified in google's stock dictionary so that they are not part of the pool of suggested words - probably along the lines of how the auto-complete of google searches are now censored.
Does anybody have a workaround for this? It's incredibly annoying and I don't like the fact that google is dictating what standard English words can and cannot be part of gesture typing.
One thought I had was that the stock dictionary probably has those words marked with a simple boolean flag, so if somebody knew how to access the dictionary and reset that flag, the problem would be solved. I don't know much about android development but this can't be too hard. If I had the time I'd undertake the project myself.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Hey yeah I had the same problem... It's stupid that they blocked swear words... The only thing I figured out to get past it is that if you type in any word that isn't in the dictionary and select to add it you can type in anything you want, before confirming adding the word, including swear words and then you can type them with gesture typing. At least it works on my rooted Verizon galaxy nexus running jb 4.2.1 sorcery v4... Peace...

How do you add words to the dictionary? I'm very Android literate, and have been using Swype for a long time. The problem I have is that sometimes when I press on a word that it suggests, but doesn't recognize, it will give me the option to add it to the dictionary. Other times it will bring a box up above the word with several suggestions. It seems erratic and not very consistent.

Settings >> language and input >> Personal dictionary and then add in whatever swears/words you want and it'll work when using the gesture typing. At least it works for me.
Thanks for the reply.
Anyone else having problems since it became a paid app with it lagging a decent amount of time upon opening?
