User Dictionary Manager (UDM)

About this app

Take full control of your Android typing experience with User Dictionary Manager (UDM)—the definitive utility to backup, restore, and organize your custom words and keyboard shortcuts.

Whether you are switching to a new phone, cleaning up annoying predictive text glitches, or moving shortcuts between Google Gboard and Samsung Keyboard, UDM bridges the gap where standard cloud sync fails.



KEY FEATURES

▸ Export & Import: Seamlessly back up your personal dictionary to a text file and restore it on any Android device.

▸ Bulk Management: Add, edit, or delete hundreds of custom words and shortcut expressions simultaneously.

▸ Edit on PC: Export your vocabulary to a standard text file, make quick edits on your computer, and import it back in seconds.

▸ Fix Prediction Issues: Clear out duplicate entries and refresh the Android system database to resolve missing word suggestions.


IMPORTANT PERMISSION NOTE

UDM requires standard access to the built-in Android User Dictionary API. On some Android versions, Google's permission prompt displays this framework capability under a generic group label like "Cards and Billing." UDM does not access, process, or store financial data. It strictly interacts with your device's native personal text database.

Ratings and reviews

Worked incredibly well, but I just for some reason didn't know that the "BROWSE" word when importing is actually a button that can be pressed to locate the file. It seemed really misleading to show an editable text field for the full file path; I tried to manually figure out the path but it replaced spaces with a % formatting character that I didn't know about. I don't think the path should be editable at all. That was unnecessarily confusing. It did end up working, though!

it's unique, very powerful and very useful. It also should have a very clear warning dialog after you tap the Clean button... I lost hours and hours of time due to this - basically if you have 2 or more shortcuts to the same word, it will delete all but 1 of them. Overall, Clean-ing just deleted several hundred of my shortcuts because of this. So developer, please address this! Otherwise it is locked on stellar.

Simple App but DEFINITELY one of the few I absolutely use every day. First used when the built-in personal dictionary was having problems... I keep it handily in the Edge Panel & never have to navigate SETTINGS add a new entry. Exporting a backup literally take seconds & ONE TIME of losing every single shortcut + word/phrase/snippet taught me to keep a "BACKUP Backup" & THIS APP IS THE ONE!! (especially if, like me, you use sliding KB shortcuts/snippets by the truckload!!)
