How to reset "Learn Words"

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:32:57 GMT

The stock soft keyboard on Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro has a feature called 'Learn words' (Settings > Language & keyboard > International Keyboard > Text input settings > Learn words) that learns from user input and adds them to the autocorrect dictionary. Over time however this has resulted in many misspelled words also being added to my autocorrect suggestions. I want to start this over from a fresh canvas. So how do I reset my autocorrect dictionary? When I go to Language & keyboard > User dictionary it's empty. Please help!

*I actually copied the question from anther website, but I really do need an answer for this.

I don't know whether this will work but as there appears to be no way to edit your learnt words list you could try clearing all data from the keyboard.

Menu>Settings>Applications>Running Applications then tap All. Scroll down and find Internation Keyboard (if thats the one you are using) and Clear Data.

Let me know how you get on.

It worked! Although my configurations also returned original settings it's not really that much of a big deal. Thank you

Well its a bit of a 'blunt tool' to do a fine job but it works. There are 3rd party keyboards available on the Market which allow you to edit your word list so this may be worth a look if you want a bit more control.

Glad you got sorted!
