Swype: Can you edit the dictionary easily?

[SupermanX5]

If you have the latest version of Swype, they let you delete words from the dictionary pretty easily right from the Swype settings. Otherwise, you have to use one of these methods How To Delete Swype User Dictionary (for Android) | Phone Buff

Yep, it's NICE now...a great functionality that they added in recent versions!

To clear the 'tapped in' words that can be annoying when they pop up:

Open Settings > Applications > All Applications (or Running Applications) > Swype > Clear Data

Just wanted to make sure that if you follow your above suggestion (which was mentioned in the link quote in my post just before your reply which is How To Delete Swype User Dictionary (for Android) ) you not only "clear the annoying tapped in words" but you clear everything...the Swype words, your Swype settings and preferences!! Bit over-kill to remove the words unless you intend on wiping EVERYTHING.

If you follow the link above, yes, you can wipe EVERYTHING but you can also manually delete the annoying/mistyped words if you follow the instructions to "Delete Typo by Typo"

And if you have one of the more recent beta versions of Swype, you can go Home

Or you can just long press the Swype key and choose Manage Dictionary.

So what I learned today was there is a somewhat easdy way to delete a word from your dictionary.

I typed TIO in one text when learning spanish and ever since then every time I swype to it picks tio first. been driving me nuts

then all of a sudden I swyped to again and tio came up so I touched tio, highlighted it and a help tip poped up. i hate when that happens but I actually read it and it said, if you want to delete a created word just highlight the word and hit the swype key on the lower left (S key)

Well did it then it askes are you sure you want to delete TIO, yes.

BAM GONE!!!!!!!!!!

Guys
i hope you don't me piggy-backing on this thread. I love swype for letters but when it comes to numbers, the only way I know of is holding each key down for about a second till it chooses and displays the number and you can go to the next one

I miss being able to simply quickly press a key for a number and the next one. Is there a mode like a shift key I can press and go hit my numbers faster than what I'm doing?

Thanks

I hope you've found your answer by now. but long hold on the ?123 key and it'll give a bunch of alternative numeric entry formats. Including just a basic calc-numpad.
