Android spells Mavick, Maverick, or Magic. Help!

[Former Member]

On my Galaxy S9 plus smartphone, as well as all the previous galaxys that I have had, no matter how many times I have used the word Mavic, It still replaces the word with magic Maverick or mavick.

Since I almost never use the words magic Maverick or mavick is there a way to delete those words from my spell check or and make it remember Mavic as the default word when I say mavic?

It would be embarrassing if I was texting one of my customers and asked him if he still has the old magic.[emoji2]

Hi,
Copied and pasted from "Google"...Go to phone settings, followed by Language and input. Select Samsung Keyboard from the list of keyboards. Tap “Predictive text”, followed by “Clear personal data”. Tapping this will remove all the new words that your keyboard has learned over time.

Yeah Rob, I had the same problem until I realized if you spell out the word Mavic then use it in a text, it should learn the word and place in it’s vocabulary. At least mine did.
On IOS, it does this automatically.

No problem at all with this silliness from a keyboard... I use SwiftKey beta on my Note 8. Options available to deal with your "dictionary" and what not...

I think my phone is not as smart as yours (or more likely, operator error on my part)

Does Swiftkey work well for you?

Eventually you should see a + next to Mavic to add it to personal list of words for predictive text.

I love SwiftKey. Works great.

I'm another big SwiftKey fan. And it's free, so what do you have to lose.

Sorry for the late reply.... Yes! Works awesome. And I hardly use the slide to type option either. But that works great... I can reze the keyboard and trick it out to my desires... Here's a screen shot

I used it on my previous Galaxy but the S9 version lacks the 4 arrow keys. Grrrrrrrrr

I have an S9 plus too.... turn off the auto correction in the Samsung keyboard that's all I could say unless you like using it but I keep it off....it likes to autocorrect too much for me. after that you should be good to go!
Also does anyone else notice how great this device is with DJI drones? it is just flawless
