Re: Personal dictionary.

Well what you could do is this. Go to any app that has text input. Then Type a word and then Click that arrow above the keys. It'll add that word and recognize it next time. Only drawback being I don't know how to remove that word. LOL.

Re: Personal dictionary.

To remove it, when it appears in the suggested words area you long press it and it will ask you if you'd like to remove it...

Re: Personal dictionary.

On the Keyboard press and hold the microphone button until a menu appears. Then select the settings icon "gear cog". This will open the keyboard menu. Select predictive text by clicking the text not toggling the switch. Then click "clear personal data", confirm the deletion and that deletes the whole personal dictionary.

The menu can also be reached through settings-->language and input-->samsung keyboard-->predictive text-->clear personal data

Hope this helps

That is not working for me. I have been clicking that little arrow for months and it still won't reognize my sons name?!

Re: Personal dictionary.

Go to settings > controls > language and input > personal dictionary and you can add words there by hitting the + in the top right corner.

Same for me, it doesn't remember words, I've found I've had to use that arrow so that it would not change the word that it wants to change!

z06mike's advice/help does work though, I go there to add words to my dictionary.

Re: Personal dictionary.

I honestly just signed up with this site to tell you guys how I figured it out on my S4 running 4.4.2 haha. I was searching the same issue and came across this thread. It's definitely different from previous firmwares, but go to Settings>My Device>Language and Input>(Gear next to keyboard: mine says Samsung Keyboard obviously)>(Click Over Predictive Text(confusing since I thought the only option was On/Off))>(Check Box for "Personalized Data" and choose which apps you want it to retrieve data from)

I've never used a Note 3, but this should be similar except for the name of the keyboards we're using. Hope that helps!

Re: Personal dictionary.

thanks for this information -it helped me get rid of some really annoying typos that were saved!

All those tips are sorta helpful,
BUT
"personal dictionary" is not on my Note 3.

I really like that Android is so configurable. I really don't like that Samsung (& other vendors incl Google) so freely add and remove access to important controls (like adding & subtracting things from the dictionary!!!) and there is no 'fix' for those seeking to gain access.

The only option I've found is to let Samsung KB scan all of my contacts / Twitter / Gmail / txt msgs to 'find words/phrases' to add to the dictionary.

Wow, I can't do it myself, but the company can filter all of my stuff (which I don't nec want to send to them) and filter it for me. No thank you!

Wondering if I need to root the phone to get to the dictionary files?!?!?

I cant even find that on my phone. Personally its past irritating to have to enter and reenter my daughters name. I have no dictionary and have tried entering the words in other programs, still not working.

I downloaded the Swipe app and paid for it. Now I have the dictionary. It all looks different now but I will get used to it.

Long press to remove? --- That was a great tip. I am not very good with self phones or smarter-than-me phones, so that helped alot. thanks!

Great tip! --- That helped a self-phone illiterate like me a lot. Thanks!

I had to tap in the word and then space...type in the word again and hit arrow down in the word choice list...your word should be in there somewhere...tap on it and the next time you swipe it should be in word selection bar or just swipe in as a remembered word...I just tried and this works.

This worked perfect for me! It had been so frustrating!! Thank you! Samsung Note 3

Install and use the application called "User Dictionary Manager." It allows you to view and edit your user dictionary.

This was what i needed. My personalized data was checked but i also had to click on learn from messages below. Now it seems to be working fine. Prior to doing this it would only remember words for a day or so and then i couldn't use swype anymore to type them.

thanks.
