Saves the built-in User Dictionary Only 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 to/from local files. 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. Needs upgrade for Marshmallow.

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).

Works only with the Android STOCK dictionary on Android 5 and lower. A user should install this app and use it to save their user dictionary with The Export option. This creates /sdcard/wordlist.txt. Copy this file to removable storage or Google Drive, etc. To recover the dictionary use the Import option on the local file /sdcard/wordlist.txt. By default this app imports a large Spanish dictionary. Care must be taken to import the LOCAL file wordlist.text. Works with Android Stock keyboard, Gboard (Google keyboard), Jelly Bean 4.3 Keyboard, Hackers Keyboard, and other keyboards that use the built-in dictionary. Will not save the dictionary for Smart keyboard Pro as it has its own special app dictionary.

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.

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 and trying to kill its developer.

I installed this app hoping that I'd be able to backup my user dictionary. However, when I clicked on the Export tab, it said "No words to export." That's definitely not the case! I'm not using one of the incompatible phones listed, and I'm using Android version 4.4.2, so I don't know why this is happening. I would have been so pleased of this app would have worked! Any helpful suggestions please?

EDIT: SHORTCUTS! THANK YOU! I have some foreign words set up in my custom dictionary in other writing systems with English shortcuts and now the shortcuts get exported. Hooray!!!

Adrian Vintu December 11, 2015

Hi Earl, Not sure you know, but your reviews ARE NOT READ ON TIME. Google does not send any notification for your reviews. In short: I had no idea you needed this! Please use the email to request features from Android developers.

Carlos Wilson October 5, 2017

Use this app on Android 4.1 to 5.x to achieve the local user dictionary. Works with the built-in keyboard, Gboard, Hacker's keyboard and the jellybean keyboards. Use export keyboard and save the keyboard file to Google Drive. To recover download the keyboard file and import from a LOCAL FILE.

Smit Sanghavi March 15, 2016

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

Abhijeet Adhikary June 4, 2016

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

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.

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

Shahmi Saidi January 4, 2016

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

-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!
