Need Help: Samsung Keyboard Autocorrect

[Matt J]

I am stumped. My Samsung Keyboard is suggesting the craziest autocorrect words that are not even words.

For example, the word "suggesting" above is underlined and the suggested word is "isnsuggesting".

Another example is "example". Is was just underlined and suggested as "examome". "Just" is "Juat"

What the heck is going on? It has been doing this for a couple of months and I'm at wits end. My only language installed is US English. I have reset the settings and it doesn't help.

Any ideas?

When you see those incorrect suggestions, try long-pressing them and selecting Remove. It's possible that at some point, you mistyped something, then tapped something on the keyboard to make it think that was a new word to remember.

Well, I can try. Some of the words just seem insane. I'm usually pretty good when typing.

I will give it a shot. Thanks!

The Samsung auto correct takes awhile to learn , you have to keep teaching it by selecting

I've already reset it and deleted the trained words. Same thing. Just kicks out random gibberish.

I can't be the only b*stard this is happening to??? Can I?

No your not alone, it happens with me also

I really haven't had any problems with the samsung keyboard. When I typed this the suggested word was usually ready to tap after a couple letters were typed. I am slower than normal at typing though.

I did some experimentation. I installed Gboard and it works perfectly. The autocorrect is flawless.

I went back to Samsung Keyboard, reset all the settings, cleared the learned words, cleared all cache and data, force stopped the app, and tried again.

The words it is suggesting are complete gibberish. For example, "example" is underlined and the suggested word is "excampke". How is it coming to this determination? There should be no data to support this.

Is there a way to uninstall Samsung Keyboard completely, and reinstall?

If it's a preinstalled app, you can probably only uninstall all updates, then update it again, but that's still worth trying.

Happens to me as well, the gibberish crap. Although adjusting the size of the keyboard helped quite a bit. Still does it some but nowhere near like it did.

Yes, I did try this. Then reset all the settings again... clean slate.... and right off the bat it starts recommending gibberish!

I had to reset my phone recently and noticed that samsung keyboard predictions were bad. But after using it around 3 days it quickly learnt my way and it is accurate 80% of the time now. Looks like it needs sometime.

I suggest to try swift key from Microsoft, is very accurate and you can also resize it.
