[Q]how to view/edit user dictionary for samsung keyboard - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

FingerBoard 2.1 quick questions

Hello
I love Fingerboard and its advantages before the original keyboard. However, I'm just wondering if it's possible to change to (or download) other keyboard layouts for it? I want the original "Phone keyboard" on Fingerboard. I mean the keyboard with "2 abc, 2 def, 4 ghi, 5 jkl" and so on. Is this possible?
If this is not possible; can I somehow use the FB dictionary on the built in keyboard on the HD2? I want this because the main thing I love with FB is that it has excluded all the nonsense words that XT9 in HD2 have. Hate those.

I've not had a look at it or tried it, but you can create your own layouts for Fingerkeyboard

Pre-installed keybord and dictionary

Hi,
I've just got my x10, and I've got to say I'm impressed! I very much like the ordinary keyboard which is pre-installed. I've been looking around for a bit now, but I cannot find out how to add custom words in the dictionary. When in settings and dictionary, I get the message, 'use the secondary menu to add words'. Any ideas?
Also I was wondering if there is any possibilities for adding custom smileys in the smiley section.
Thanks!

[Q] Dictionary not working...

Hi all, sorry if this has been asked before but I cant find an answer. I've figured out how this works if i add and use the Swype keybd. Seems to work as expected but if i want to use the Samsung keybd it doesn't work. Meaning if Samsung is my default keybd no words ever get added to the dictionary. Seems like the settings in Language and Input for Samsung keybd are different from Swype. And i dont see a section in the Samsung keybd for my words or a dictionary. I'm more a conventional typing person so Swype isnt really for me and I like the Samsung keybd more. Appreciate if anyone can guide me to a resolution. All i really want to do is have words like "hv", "cld", "shld" recognized when i type and not always predict something other than that. Unless of course it expanded the words to "have", "could", "should". A bit more info: If I look in language and input I have the samsung keybd as grayed out and checked on and below that the swype keybd as checked on and available to change. Thanks in advance.

Samsung keyboard restrict autocorrect to current language

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...
