Swype's dictionary
 

I have polluted my Swype dictionary with Fat-fingered words. I am getting that pop-up telling me the word was looking for was blocked by 'ugpe' or 'hirt'.

It is a real pain to key the errant word back in and then select the Swype key to delete it. I have been looking for the Swype dictionary so I could just go in and edit it myself.

I am rooted so I have access to phone memory. At this point, I suspect they may be keeping these words in a binary or resource file bacause I cannot find it in a text type. Anyone know where this is at?

see if this works:

go to settings > Language & Keyboard > User Dictionary > select word and it will ask you to "edit" or "delete"

that does not appear to be Swype's dictionary.

AFAIK, swype doesn't let you change words in their dictionary, whether pre-installed or added on. You have to manually delete them by reswyping/typing the word, highlighting it, then pressing the tips button.

If you find a way to get into their dictionary, leave a tutorial somewhere, i've got hundreds of word to get rid of.

As with me. It is a real design flaw to not let you go in and simply edit the words. To do so, mid-sentence is really awkard. Not only that, the swype keyboard does not even have cursor manipulation keys to make it easy to block words easier.

You can get a cursor pad if you swipe from the swipe key to the SYM key.

I agree that swype needs a dictionary manager... it's pretty frustrating for me as well.

Why would I want to do that?
