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?

Re: Swype's dictionary
see if this works:

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

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.

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