How to use Moto E keyboard?

Moto E comes with a vanila Google keyboard, which you can find it in Google Play store.

The Google keyboard is actually one of the best keyboards for Android, although it is free. Most Android phone manufacturers tried to modify it with their own footprint. But, so far, neither Samsung nor HTC (forget about LG or Sony) brings a better or more accurate keyboard to Android

Please note, Moto X, Moto G and Moto E use the identical Google keyboard, so this guide is also applicable for Moto G keyboard and Moto X keyboard.

How to use Emojis in Moto E?

Since KitKat 4.4, Android start to support colorful emojis natively.  In Google keyboard, you can find a lot of emojis in different categories.

To input emojis, you tap the emoji button in Moto E keyboard. Emojis are organized in different categories.  If you want to return to text input mode, tap the ABC button.

Please note, the emojis are available for messages and emails,  other supported apps only. If you find your Moto E keyboard does not have the emojis button, very likely, the app does not support emojis, for example, web browser does not support emojis.

How to add or change input languages in Moto E keyboard

In addition to system language (please follow this guide on changing Moto E languages) , you can also add multiple  languages to your Moto E keyboard.

In your Moto E, go to Settings–Language & input. Tap the settings icon next to Google keyboard as shown below.

By default, Google keyboard uses the Moto E system language. You need uncheck this settings to proceed as shown below.

How to use gesture typing  in Moto E keyboard?

Moto E keyboard also supports gesture typing.

You can slide your finger across the letters of the word. You can release your finger once the word you want is displayed in the floating preview or in the middle of the suggestion strip. To select other words in the suggestion strip, touch it.

When using gesture typing in Moto E keyboard, it is not necessary to use the spacebar. After you lift your finger, it will automatically insert the space and continue a new word.

If the word you want to use is not shown when using gesture typing, you have to manually type it.

How to use Google voice typing in Moto E keyboard

You can use Google voice typing for Moto E keyboard. In other words, you can type by speaking.

To use Google voice typing, touch the microphone button in the Moto E keyboard. You can start to speak once you see the red microphone image. Google speech recognition engine will convert what you speak to text.

If you are using English, you can even speak “comma”, “period”, “question mark” and “exclamation mark” to enter punctuation.

moto_e_keyboard_voice_typing_buttonmoto-e-keyboard-google-voice-typing

By default, Google voice typing using online speech recognition engine if internet connection is available.

It is possible  to use offline speech recognition engine if you are not always connected. You can go to Settings–Language & input. Tap the setting icon next to Google voice typing.

Then tap “offline speech recognition” to download and install additional languages for offline Google voice typing.  You need  switch to All tab to see all available offline languages as shown below.

Normally, Google voice typing is smart enough to know the language you are using. So, most of the time, you can just leave the input language for voice typing as automatic (default). If the voice typing gets wrong language, you may manually set the language. Tap the “Choose input language”, uncheck “Automatic”, then you can manually select the voice input language.

How to add your own personal dictionary to Moto E keyboard?

Moto E keyboard allows you to add your own personal  dictionary.  This means you can add your own words to your personal dictionary in Moto E.

Not only the words, but also the optional shortcuts, can be added to your personal dictionary. Moto E keyboard will remember them, and use them as the first choice.

To add words to your personal dictionary, go to Settings–Language & input. Tap the setting icon next to Google keyboard. Then tap “personal dictionary”. You can add words or phrases, and corresponding shortcuts  (optional) for the words as shown below.

moto_e_keyboard_personal_dictionarymoto_e_keyboard_personal_dictionary_add_words

In this tutorial, I added “Moto E Guide” into my personal dictionary. I also defined a shortcut  “zmeg” for it as shown above.

Now, whenever I type zmeg, Moto E Guide will become the first choice. Actually, after I type “zm”, my Moto E keyboard already suggests Moto E Guide.

Personal dictionary in Moto E keyboard is a very useful feature and can save you tremendous time if you use it wisely.

      Google keyboard is smart. It will detect whether a return key is needed. When you want to do a search, it will have search key; when you want to type a quick note, you will get a done key.

      This works most of the time. But sometimes, it may fail to work properly. For example, in some regions, people like to write long sms. They will find there is no return key.

      Anyway, if you cannot find the return key for a new line, it means Google thinks you don’t need it…. Your only choice is to use other keyboard. There are quite a lot good keyboard in the Play store.

          Predictive text or auto correction is a keyboard feature. You can turn it off in Settings–language & Input, tap settings icon in the right for Google keyboard, tap text correction. You may turn off Auto correction, and next-word suggestions.

      There are many keyboard apps in play store. You may try SwiftKey.

      The enter key may be replaced by emojis of you are typing a message. It will be replaced by search our go button if you are typing web address of the address bar. So, it’s context sensitive.

      If you are editing a document or writing an email, the bottom right one usually is enter key. You may tap and hold it to switch to emojis or other options.

      The offline voice search actually is for voice commands only. What you downloaded are the voice recognition file for offline use when you are offline or your connection is not good.

      If there is no internet connection, Google cannot connect to its server to perform the search.

      Very likely, you tap the keys too slow. The first row of the keys in the keyboard will become numbers (or even more options) if you tap and hold the key.

      You may chekc the settings–accessibility — touch & hold delay. Set it to Medium.

Ex: “The football game was exciting.” On the 1st gen Moto X the word football would be blue and when you thumb over it a suggested football emoticon would appear.

      Predictive text or auto correction is a keyboard feature. You can turn it off in Settings–language & Input, tap seettings icon in the right for Google keyboard, tap text correction. You may turn off Auto correction, and next-word suggestions.

      If the call is in progress, why do you want to edit the number?

      If you need tape some numbers (like phone banking, or support hotline), you can move the phone away from your ear to wake up the screen (or tap the power key). Then under Hangup (in red background), you can find the icon for dial pad (the first one from left, 10 dots). Tap it to input.

        I guess what I’m trying to say is I want them to look like the ones on a iPhone or iPod but I dont think it’ll work. But i did dwnld SMS Pro and they worked, but in order to do that I have to disable my original messaging and access my contacts through the app SMS Pro to send a text message . And for that I think I have to keep an internet connection…., which I don’t want to do all that.
        W/ my iPod all it had to do was access a few things and then simply made its way as an option to my keyboard.

    I can receive emojis from a friend (who uses a different phone/network) but am unable to send them myself. When I try, the space where the emoji should be is left blank. The old school smileys work – e.g. 🙂 😛 – but when I send them they display as little green alien emojis on my friend’s phone. Is this fixable?

      Sometimes, a reboot may also solve such strange problems.

    Other phones offer you to add a custom word while typing. Can the Moto G do this? It is very annoying to have to go to a separate ‘special’ list each time to add a name or local word. Other phones offer to ‘add to dictionary’ as you type.

        Yes but that’s not as you type which other phones all seem to offer. E.g. Nokia Lumia, Amazon Fire, they all add as you type and learn to predict better. Not sure if it’s Google or Moto to blame but it’s a poor system.

          If you need alternative keyboard, you can try SwiftKey.

    Hi Simon,

    This has been raised several times in the thread, but never yet had a full answer – often because people did not give enough detail or did not answer your return question. I hope to get it sorted for myself and all future people with the same issue!

    1. My Daughter now has a Moto E using the Google UK Keyboard.
    2. When she sends an emoji via the default messaging app, it appears in the original message when she types – but after clicking send it leaves a blank space. i.e. it just disappears. This is even when sending nothing but the emoji. In such cases it just sends a blank space.
    3. The recipient (me in this case, using an iPhone 5S on IOS) receives no emoji. I get only a grey speech bubble to show that she has sent an empty text.
    4. Her messaging app shows that she has sent a blank text. The emoji is no longer present.

    My feeling is that it is not just that the iPhone does not recognise the emojis being used (I wondered if the phone recognised that it was sending to an iPhone and made the emoji disappear). When she sends an emoji to my wife – the same thing happens. My wife has a Samsung Galaxy on Android.

    What I can say is that the emoji appears in the line of text when typing – but immediately that you press the send icon, it disappears (and does not send).

    Sending emojis via email is fine.

    Please help.

    Thanks,

    Paul

      It sounds the problem is not due to keyboard, but very likely due to messaging app.

      What happens if you send the message through Hangouts? In Moto E, you can choose Hangouts as default SMS app.

      In Messaging app, you need make sure the SMS encoding method as “Automatic”. Open messaging app, tap menu key (3 vertical dots in top right), tap settings, make sure the encoding method is automatic.

      Do you mean you got problems when using a browser to access Facebook? It would be possible because the web version doesn’t work well in Android.

      Did you find other languages in the list? Google probably doesn’t offer this language in voice typing.

      You can disable voice typing key in Google keyboard. You can change Gboard settings in Settings –language & input –virtual keyboard–Gboard–preferences.

      You cna also disable Google voice typing in Manage keyboards.
