   Enabling multiple languages at once would be very helpful.

   I live in a border region (San Diego), and although my primary language of use is English, a large portion of the words I use on a daily basis are Spanish.

   Conversely, when using Spanish, many English loan-words are employed.

   I live in a border region (San Diego), and although my primary language of use is English, a large portion of the words I use on a daily basis are Spanish.

   Conversely, when using Spanish, many English loan-words are employed.

   Unfortunately for me, Swype has utterly spoiled me, and it grates when I have to tap out yet. another. palabra. because I'm restricted to a single language in play at once.

   I know I'm not alone in this. Most people who are multilingual engage in some manner of code-switching as a matter of course, and it would be great if the apps we used reflected that.

   Thanks again for a wonderful product!

   Use two rows of words in choice list

   Give more options at once by having two rows to choose from. Can still have the more option if needed.

   Improve recognition of poorly spelt words

   Swype does a great job of figuring out what I mean when I spell correctly. Problem is, my spelling isn't always upto scratch. Could do with adding more phonic equivalents to the formula that predicts what word was intended.

   Usual suspects:
   tion or sion at the end of a word
   ie or ei in a word
   c o... more

   tion or sion at the end of a word
   ie or ei in a word
   c or s at start or middle e.g. cert or sert
   ies or ys at end of word e.g. batteries, batterys

   You get the idea...

   Allow words added to dictionary to have a predfined case.

   When you enter words into the dictionary, if you enter them with something other than lower case, then the case should be remembered and used automatically when the word is brought up.

   Peoples names would be the most common example. If I enter someones name with a capital first letter, I don't w... more

   Peoples names would be the most common example. If I enter someones name with a capital first letter, I don't want to have to worry about changing the first letter to uppercase all the time.

   Nexus One Screen Unsupported

   Hi,
   I'm trying to run swype 1.16.12.5230.t on my Nexus One (Android 2.2), but when I activate the input method it tells me the "Screen size is unsupported. Contact support. Screen size 480x800".
   How have others here got it working on their Nexus One?

   Please let me have Swype for Xperia 10 !!

   Perhaps Swype could be made available for people with debilitating disease where the hands can not enjoy full functionality, then the lives of many will be enhanced somewhat !!

    Don't show pop-up when Swype key is pressed

    Occasionally when typing I accidentally tap the Swype key (e.g. when trying to tap the SYM key). It takes a good second or two for the pop-up to show saying that I tapped the Swype key but Swype doesn't know what I'm trying to do. This can be quite irritating! Can this pop-up be disabled, perhaps... more

Can this pop-up be disabled, perhaps if tips are disabled?

    Option to disable auto-add to dictionary

    After using Swype for a while, it occurs much more often that I tap-type a word that I never/rarely want to use again than I tap-type a word that I want added to Swype's dictionary. This is a problem as this new word may come up when I'm trying to swype a much more common word that may have a sim... more

    After using Swype for a while, it occurs much more often that I tap-type a word that I never/rarely want to use again than I tap-type a word that I want added to Swype's dictionary. This is a problem as this new word may come up when I'm trying to swype a much more common word that may have a similar shape.

    Can there be an option to switch the add-word method from auto (upon pressing space) to manual (highlight word, press swype key, or something similar)?

    Norwegian dictionary

    I would seriously love to get a Norwegian dictionary added to the beta release, I have no use of the beta version without it. The app is seriously genius, but not without the right language.

    Swype for smileys/emoticons - Different directions to result in different pre-configured smileys

    Although at the moment I have fed the dictionary with smileys as suggested on other threads yet I have to admit that this way is not 100% effective. One suggestion I would like to throw out there assuming its not already thought of is why not use swyping for smileys? Default hit on the smiley key to print out the one cofigured as default, the rest could maybe be show up with swyping either in different directions or over on the letters, sorta what the question mark to space does ... so in that sense it could either be letter to smiley key or vice versa or for speedier error free smiley inputing, smiley key to directions, gestures or loops.

    Any thoughts?

    Disable Swype on Samsung Galaxy S

    Hi,

    I tried Swype on my phone and as much as i find it awesome, i guess it's not really for me. Maybe it's because i don't usually type in English or maybe it's because of the complicated looking keyboard (which makes the screen more crowded with its extra characters on each key).

Maybe it's because i don't usually type in English or maybe it's because of the complicated looking keyboard (which makes the screen more crowded with its extra characters on each key). I would really like to go back to the stock keyboard i'm using but i couldn't.

    I would really appreciate your help,

    thanks
