Hi, This is my first post so go easy on me....
So, lately, my T9 is getting full of words that i accidentally have misspelled... For example, every time i write the word don't, the word font is displayed on the screen. It's really annoying
I Have looked under the keyboard input setting, but the only setting that is useful is the option to delete all of the dictionary that i have added.
I'm just wondering if there is a program out there that will let me edit my dictionary? I've tried a few, but, none of them use the existing dictionary of my HTC Elf.

I really liked the way the autocorrect worked on the Evo 4G keyboard. Is there a way to turn that on for the Vibrant?
It would also be nice to have the key pressed pop up above the key when I push it (to verify i hit the right one without moving my eye) instead of just flashing blue under my finger where I can't see it.
I'm trying to figure out how to change these two things...at least mainly the autocorrect.
Regarding swype.... not to hijack a thread... I no longer see how you add a word for swype to learn like it did previously? Used to, you would just long press and add the word to your dictionary. Anyone know how to do this?
Whenever you type a word in manually and hit space to go to a new word, it learns it. You can access the tutorial in "Swype Tips" in your app menu. It goes over this and other uses. You'll add the "word" "bob4" to the menu in the tutorial.
I found the answer to my question.
Apparently I was confused
If anyone else out there is confused...
The default keyboard is swype and to get the autocorrect working similar to Evo, you need to go to settings, then Locale and text, then Set default keyboard and change it to android. If you change to samsung keyboard, you have to enable the auto predict text thing.
I've been trying out swype now though, and I'm liking it.
^^ yeah, I did that.... I guess I'm just used to longpressing and adding words to my dictionary. I have tried to type in a-p-p-s, but I can never get swype to do "apps" for me.

This clarified a lot for me.
is there some way to edit/add/delete items from the user dictionary when using the samsung keyboard?
i like that it has a phonepad type keyboard (i abhor qwerty pads and they crazy tiny keys)
but there is no option in the language/input settings for user or personal dictionary like older samsungs had and other keyboards have.
i know how to add words with the press/hold/swipe method while in the keyboard which is fine for adding new words but it makes lots of suggestions that i didn't enter. in my s3, and previous android phones i could occasionally go into the dictionary and remove out the erroneous entries but the s5 seems to be missing this ability
any help?
thanks in advance
I'm using the Samsung keyboard on my Note 4 with two languages enabled (English and German)
Sadly the autocorrect and word learning seems to unified which means that when I write in English (with the English language selected on the space bar ) I still get many german word offered by autocorrect.
Also learnt words seem to be stored in only one dictionary; not a pet-language one
But many words are similar (in terms of swiping path etc) between the two languages so that autocorrect's offerings are often useless. (Bettet instead of better)
The same applies for the handwriting input as that seems to be part of the same keyboard implementation. ..
I'd like it much better if it only used the selected language for word suggestions and kept separate dictionaries for leant words. .I can live with having to store some entries (like names etc) twice if I must
So is there a way to accomplish that?
Or is there a replacement keyboard that works as well with handwriting and swiping but which has separate dictionaries etc?
Try another keyboard maybe?
Right. Suggestions?

What keyboard are you using? If you are using the Sammy keyboard you actually add them from the keyboard itself. Type the word then, before hitting the space bar tap the checkmark that appears in the suggested word bar.
If you use the Google keyboard, look in Settings > Language and input for the Personal directory.
Others, who knows...
