Explain add a “Learn Word” Option for Unknown Words
Zoltán TESTER ·
It would be great if, when a word is not in the keyboard’s dictionary, long-pressing that word would display an option such as “Learn Word” or “Add to Dictionary.”
This would allow users to easily add missing words to their personal dictionary without having to navigate to the keyboard settings. It would be especially useful for languages like Hungarian, which have many inflected word forms.
Ideally, the keyboard would remember the added word and recognize it in future typing, including in autocorrect and suggestions.

This is already available and in an easy way. The new word appears on double quotes on the left side of the suggestion bar, clicking on it, instantly adds it to the learned words.
Thank you it’s working.
I wanna use this ticket to suggest then to add a short explanation, that selecting a word from the bar instantly adds it to learned words. And also a short explanation what the quotes mean.
Doesn't need to be very prominently placed, but powerusers that care to learn the details about the app can then use it more effectively to consciously steer it towards a more personalized typing experience.
Thought this was part of the tips and tricks, it should be added there.
@Zoltán @muleluku the quoted word wasn't explained anywhere in the app. Build 474 (and 2.2.2 on the App Store) adds a "Learn a word" card to Tips & tricks and a line on the Learned words screen: a word in quotes is exactly what you typed, and if the keyboard doesn't know it, one tap learns it right away. Tapping a regular suggestion doesn't do that, it only counts as one more use.
Currently it is impossible to see this tip without scrolling endlessly. See the video.
Need to move the tip on the learned words screen to the dictionary screen, above the tip to delete a word should be good.
