        Agreed. It is frustrating that the app that I use the most isn't adding to my library. Please make it so.

        Please add! I only use Google voice for text now!

        Google Voice is my primary text/calling service. I support this idea!

        I as well, only use google voice for texting.

        I too exclusively use Google Voice for all my texting as Sprint has it integrated. Wish it could learn from those texts.

        I hope this gains some momentum. Now that I've reinstalled SwiftKey (thanks to the ICS voice typing update), it would be great if I can make SwiftKey learn from GV.

        I, too, only use Google Voice for texts, and this addition would be extremely welcome.

        This would the most welcome feature addition for me as well.

        Since I flash my phone so frequently (and don't back up my texts), google voice is the only app that has all of my texts logged. This would be extremely helpful, especially for sprint users.

        The technical side of this isn't looking good…

        Google Voice does not have an official API. Unofficial APIs work by logging with your Google username/password (i.e. no OAuth which is what SwiftKey does now to learn from Gmail) and screen scraping to extract calls/texts. Not ideal from SwiftKey's POV.
