re: Personal Dictionary

[EP Pack]

Hmm, my brand new Galaxy Tab 4 runs 8.1, but it doesn't have an entry for "advanced" under L&I, let alone "dictionary", darn it. Searching for it doesn't turn it up either.

Else, [ Settings > System > Languages & Input » Advanced > Personal Dictionary > Choose language ] is the long way.

As always, any long-press added words are here, too, but whatever can be added here — e.g., I often add alternative capitalizations of terms

It's confusing, but it is there... don't have a samsung (in large part because they change standards such as this one) but these discussions might help;

https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Smartphones-Tablets-Wearables/Custom-dictionary-lost-since-update/td-p/179208

Note that even when you find "personal dictionary" the dictionary could still be hidden... for example, using

Settings > System > Languages & Input » Advanced > Personal Dictionary > Choose language > Personal dictionary

It's not under "All Languages" by default.

Hope that this information helps in the quest.

The Samsung keyboard does have a setting for "predictive text" also, who knew? But there is nothing relevant relating to any dictionary, personal, etc, shown for the hackers kb. There isn't even an "advanced" option under L&I, it was under "onscreen kb" for the samsung, and that one was also on my GS8 8.0 phone. It's gotta be somewhere tho, right?
