I wanted to give UDM a five star rating however, by default it is hard coded to install a dictionary that is a dialect of Spanish and only part of the a's as it runs out of space. However it can be tweaked to create a text file "wordlist.txt" from the user dictionary. To do this export your user dictionary with the app. Now on another device or after a factory data reset import can be used to get the user dictionary from "wordlist.txt". UDM does not create user dictionaries. It saves them and imports them back. The dictionary is created one word at a time and saved by exporting. It works for the stock keyboard, Google keyboard, Jelly Bean 4.3 keyboard and Hacker's Keyboard. Smart keyboard Pro creates its own user dictionary as do a number of other third party keyboards.

Saves the built-in User Dictionary Although somewhat cumbersome to use this app will give a backup of the user dictionary if you are running Lollipop or lower. Be sure to archive and restore LOCALLY. At the present time there is no app for Marshmallow. This app only works with the built-in dictionary. Many third party keyboards have their own user dictionaries. This app cannot save information for these dictionaries.

Only fix for Google Keyboard crash I've had a bug with Google Keyboard for years that where trying to edit the custom dictionary causes the entire settings app to crash. This app provides a way to edit the dictionary directly. (Note: The settings app still crashes if I go through Google keyboard's preferences, but now I no longer need to).

Best ever UDM! But I don't understand why Google won't let it access User Dictionary in later Android version! Google starts not listening its users needs!

Keyboard lifesaver for ROM flasher Very very good app for frequent ROM flasher like me. It's perfect features rich app , in short keyboard lifesaver. Thanks. But one issue is that it restores to default stock keyboard only not to third party keyboard. Please fix it for five star.

Just what I needed Cleaned up my dictionaries of multiple languages. Excellent utility! 🙏

Abhijeet Adhikary June 4, 2016

I am not understanding how to use this app to store words in external file...

Balbir Marwaha September 12, 2016

It exported words to Google keyboard personal dictionary, added, removed and edited words and shortcuts. Does what it says.

Tomer Ben Arye March 3, 2016

Export to Google Drive Is a must... save every 2 weeks reminder or automatically. Is a must also

Bryan Stark January 24, 2016

Can access user dictionary as read only I have the SCH-i435 and i guess it's running marshmallow os. A msg keeps popping up saying this app can't access the dictionary. The Developer pointed out that Google stopped allowing users to access their user dictionary on Android. However, you can access the dictionary from this app for the purpose of reading what words are in your Android user dictionary.

Adrian Vintu January 24, 2016

Hi Bryan, Unfortunately Google killed the access to the user dictionary. So... nobody can access it anymore in a programatic way. And they call it a feature... I am sorry for this.

Mark Ifi January 4, 2016

The developer - Adrian - is very helpful, he implemented a change needed for my configuration(custom language name). This tool does the job.(if the job is importing a wordlist to Google Keyboard dictionary)

Adrian Vintu January 4, 2016

Thank you very much Mark :)

Chris Vydas March 2, 2016

Marshmallow nag screen OK it is unfortunate Google is blocking udm access to the user dictionary on that os, hopefully that changes but do we really need to be spammed with that message every time we want to edit the dictionary? It's a bit excessive when you don't give us a checkbox option to not "show this again". Furthermore the link provided in the message is broken and redirects to a forbidden page.

Adrian Vintu March 3, 2016

Hi Chris, I was not aware they killed the link. There is a checkbox if you scroll down the text. All the best, Adrian

Jag deesh February 2, 2016

Good & Some suggestions Why not allow user to select all and delete words? Also why don't u support exporting shortcuts of the dictionary ?

Adrian Vintu February 3, 2016

Hi Jag, Thank you :) Well, nobody wanted - until now - to select all + delete all words :) I just tested now, shortcuts are exported and imported. Are you sure this feature is not working for you? For further questions, please write me on my email address: adrianvintu@yahoo.com - you can also find it in the app. Thank you, Best regards, Adrian

Jeff Altorfer February 9, 2016

Really works well and gives you access to the now frequently hidden user dictionary Works exactly as advertised, on my SamSung SPH-L900 running 4.4.2.

Lord Childe January 7, 2016

ENG-US? Get rid of 'eng-US' as 'current language'... we're not all US citizens, and we don't all use American English.

Adrian Vintu January 8, 2016

Hi Lord, en_US is set for Current Language only if you have the system language on English US. Please check Settings/Language and Input/Language and see what you have there. If the problem is still unclear, please write me at adrianvintu@yahoo.com

Shahmi Saidi January 4, 2016

After a year, finally my request is added into the app :)

Adrian Vintu January 6, 2016

Hahaha, sorry for the "small"" delay :D Thank you for the positive vote :)

Nipurn Gupta February 19, 2016

Does what it says

Remus Chirila January 7, 2016

Super Super. Work as expected.

-joy joy December 30, 2015

works with hacker's keyboard 1.37 adds suggestions to hacker's keyboard. using 4.4.2 on samsung tab 3 (which means no user dictionary access _at all_, no holding a word menu, settings only has 'learn from gmail' or 'learn from messages' and that doesn't work either). here even email addresses can be added. no strings of words with spaces, though. export/import from .txt file. nice thanks!

RAGHWENDRA RAI December 18, 2015

User dictionary Excellent app. Now I don't have train the dictionary every time I reset the phone. Best thing is, I have exported it to Google drive, and now it is available for my other android phones too..

Harsh Mandan December 31, 2015

Sigh Will not work on 6.0.1 and voting will not help as google as already confirmed that they intend to keep it this way

Jaclyn Marie Netzel December 7, 2015

Not quite sure how it works yet, though

Ronak Chopra December 26, 2015

Great! I love the app but it would be even better if I could delete multiple words from my personal dictionary!

Erifal. A December 3, 2015

Thanks for the update, is it possible to add Edit Shortcut feature?

Syamsul Ma'arif December 9, 2015

Thank You Thanks for your effort mate, i really need this.

David Klement January 24, 2014

Very good This app is very helpful for people who need to somehow alternate dictionary they're using (e.g. I dont want to write with accents in Czech so I've parsed IRC logs and some corpora, stripped it of the accents and loaded into the phone with this app). The only thing I was wondering about is wheter it's possible to add words only for a certain language. If yes, would be awesome if this app would implement it.

Dan Katz December 30, 2013

Can't recommend this enough I use Google keyboard in development mode so it learn you and keep on adding words, not to mention the words you add yourself. I really love Google keyboard. The only big downside of Google keyboard in my opinion is that it won't sync to cloud 95%of the time. This simple yet most valuable app help you save the dictionary file. I flash roms, so this is a must have for me, but either way I recommend this! Add a donate version with a periodic save and count me in.

February 11, 2014

Great but slow. It took over 50 minutes to import 40k words, and my phone aren't even hot. I wonder if you can add "aggressive" mode option to use all of my phone processing power, maybe it will make the importing process faster. Otherwise it's a really gooood application.

Ivan Patrishkov June 15, 2014

Simple but needs improvement Two things need improvement: 1. Needs support of more encodings. I had to try three times with different files until it accepted utf-8. 2. Referring to files in command line is not convenient -visual browser will be better

Rohit Ekka October 17, 2014

Great!!!!! Really awesome In my HTC One M8 .. I wasn't able to delete the incorrect words which was saved in my user dictionary.. for some reason I couldn't clear the data through app manager .. my phone won't allow me to access it which was really bugging me for a while . But after I installed this app.. voila all of those b those incorrect saved words cleared in ago plus a better editor for my user dictionary

Anfrey Cheng November 29, 2014

Great App but can't choose what language to import to Thanks for creating this as it makes editing wordlists much easier. I prefer to split up my wordlists by language so as to not get suggestions for words that are not in my keyboard's current active language. I was rather disappointed to find out we can't import wordlists to the user dictionary for specific languages.

Jon Ball March 11, 2014

Good, but no shortcuts & lousy file picker This is good, but because I use shortcuts all the time, leaving those out is a big deal to me. Also, it's not easy tho backup to another location because I have to remember the pathname myself (which is different on each device). Finally, I would love an automatic backup feature. I'd pay for the above.

Andru Smith July 18, 2015

No shortcuts! This is useless to me with that major flaw. I use the shortcut entry on the personal dictionary all the time to create my own shorthand. IE "tm" inputs "tomorrow". This has no way of copying over any shortcuts.
