  1. "Relative" statistics

    Currently the statistics are absolute - They only tell me the total values of certain aspect, but what I would like to see is how is progress over time.
    Does Swiftkey efficiency improve over time? does it save me more keystrokes now than it did one year ago?

    I would really love to see that :)

    • Desearía que las letras con tilde aparecerán primero que el @

      Quisiere que bajo el menú de las opciones pusieran una opción para hacer que las letras con acentos o tildes salgan a frente que los caracteres especiales. Por ejemplo, cuándo presiono la a para adquirir la á tengo que deslizar el dedo para que aparezca la letra acentuada. Desearía que las letras con tilde aparecerán primero que el @.

      • Back space should delete whole word like HTC Sense input.

        Option for that should be in the settings, also option for not adding that dann spacer bar after each word would be great

          • option to choose different voice input method

            Allow users to select different voice recognition algorithms for our convince, or improve the current system to recognize spoken words better.

            • I'd like to have a way to blacklist words from the dictionary.

              I long press to delete predicted words from the dictionary that I don't use but there are some that keep returning. It'd be nice to delete a word and not have it show up again unless I chose to remove it from the blacklist.

              • Allow users to remove a word from the dictionary that they will never use which is close to an often used word (abs instead of and)

                Don't offer a suggestion for a word which is close (from a typing on the keyboard perspective) to another commonly used word.

                Example: I type the word 'and' quite often, but SwiftKey interprets it as 'abs' due to my "over/under swiping". I would like to remove 'abs' from consideration so it's never used when I'm typing 'and'.

                • Configurable long taps

                  Is it possible, you can add few configurable keys for long tap? For some string shortcuts (email, nick or something one). Like here: http://3pda.ucoz.ru/_ld/0/84316.jpg (did you see keys with ".org", ".net", ".com", ".ru" labels? If you will press "shift" button it will be changed to configurable labels)

                    • Is there any way to make macros available?

                      I like to have a boatload of macro shortcuts.
                      When I type Np I want it to type out No problem.
                      when I type omw I want to to type out On my way.

                      I have a file with about 200 entries already from simple ones to pretty lengthy ones.

                      • Allow a list of words not to be expanded or offered, such as "porn"

                        As there are, on my mobile smart phone, three words offered that are public to anyone I demonstrate it too, I would like to avoid certain words showing, such as "porn", and more private information such as names. A solution would be to be able to create a list of words that will not be offered or expanded, i.e. that must be typed in full if needed.

                                    Because of the size on small phones you have no room above the keyboard to speak of. Allow users to make the predictive text baronly as wide as the letters on small Keyboard or eliminate the predictive text. Some users wish to eliminate the predictive text in all modes.
