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.
After unchecking the “use system language”, you now can select many more languages to your keyboard. Moto E keyboard can handle multiple languages.
Tap any available languages that you are going to use for your keyboard. The checked languages will then be added to your Moto E keyboard.
How to switch languages in Moto E keyboard?
If you added more than one language to your Moto E keyboard, you can switch it on-fly.
To change Moto E keyboard languages, tap and hold the spacebar button until you get the options window as shown below. You can then switch the input language fro the Google keyboard.
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.
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.
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.
Because Moto X, Moto G and Moto E use the identical keyboard, this guide also applies to Moto X keyboard and Moto G keyboard.
Do you have any questions on using Moto E keyboard (or Moto G keyboard, ot Moto X keyboard)?
Please leave a comment if you have any problems or questions on how to use Moto E keyboard (or Moto G keyboard, ot Moto X keyboard).

hello. i m using moto E. pls let me know where is ‘Enter’ button in keypad? like if someone want to write different lines than where is ENTER button?
simon says
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.

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.

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
simon says
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.
