  1. Auto capitalization using voice recognition

    When using SK voice recognition (a very handy feature!), first word is always capitalized regardless of the "Auto Capitalization" setting. That prevents its use from within a terminal application for example as unix commands are usually all lowercase.

    • RAZR maxx and auto correct is randomly happening even though my settings have auto correct off

      My settings are precise and space bar completes a word but auto correct seems to want to override a lot of words regardless of what I do. Problems with the space bar at times to. Didnt have this problem before the last update. I'm still on ICS

      • Swiftkey does not have prediction in Tinfoil App - used for Facebook/Facebook Messager

        Tinfoil is the app of choice for interacting with Facebook for many but Swiftkey does not offer predictions while using the Tinfoil app. This prevents me from using Swiftkey while doing any sort of Facebook browsing - a fairly integral part of the social experience of an Android phone for many.

          • Keep having to restart Swift Key on phone reboot

            Using the trial version, I had no issues. However, with the full version, every time I restart or reboot my Samsung Galaxy S3, it reverts to the default Samsung keyboard. I have to open the app shortcut and re-enable.

                • Word Predictions don't appear after screen unlock

                  Word Predictions don't appear if the phone is unlocked while the keyboard is on the screen.

                  The predictions sometimes re-appear after certain actions, such as sending a message in Facebook Messenger.

                  To replicate:
                  -- Get the keyboard to appear on the screen
                  -- Lock the phone
                  -- Unlock the phone

                  Expected: Keyboard present, including predictions
                  Actual: Keyboard present, no predictions

                  I'm using a Galaxy Nexus with the very latest Android

                  • No keyboard and freezes phone after latest update

                    After the last update the keyboard will not come up and when I try to enter the language and input settings the phone locks up. I eventually got in and there are no language packs installed at all. after re-booting several times the language packs appeared but still no keyboard. I loved this app it made typing so much easier and quicker. I have now had to uninstall as while it was still there it would not allow me to change to the stock keyboard. Now its gone everything works fine. Very disappointing.

                      • How to insert punctuation after custom word?

                        If I want to write "Thanks friendo!", it suggests "friend" and I have two choices:

                        1. If I hit the "!" key, it auto inserts the "friend" and I end up with "Thanks friend!"
                        2. If I hit the "friendo" word to the left of the suggested "friend", it auto-inserts a space, and I'm left with "Thanks friendo !"

                        Is there a way to choose the custom word without it automatically inserting a space afterward?

                        • Keyup occasionally missed

                          I have the latest version installed from the Market, and ever since installing Jellybean on my Nexus S I've had a problem where keyup events are sometimes missed.

                          I increased my Long-press duration to 1000ms, which is long enough that I'll notice, for example, I'll type the word "like", and Swiftkey will insert an l, a k, and an e, and then afterwards pop up the long-press menu. Since I'm not touching the screen at the time, the only way to get the long-press menu to go away is to press the "i" again.

                          It seems like Swiftkey is sometimes…

                                    • Resolution issue @ Archos tablet G7 A101

                                      I've faced with unresolved issue on my device during the keyboard usage. It looks like layout of your keyboard doesn't match device's screen resolution (width). Starting from "p" and "l" letters buttons on keyboard are partially hidden. If there's something I should send for further investigation please let me know. Thanks!

                                        • My keyboard would not open, and I click it and it just force closes. Motorola photon 4G.

                                          Disabling it then it shows error, please update once more to fix these problems, or else it wasn't really worth buying.
