Where do I manage the Sogou dictionary?
On desktop, manage it under Properties, Dictionary: tick cell dictionaries and import or export your personal dictionary. On mobile use the dictionary or sync entry in settings; after signing in you can back up and sync across devices.
How do I add cell dictionaries for better candidates?
In the Sogou cell-dictionary store, add packs by category (games, professions, regions) in one tap; with the right domain pack installed, technical terms, names and places rank better and typing flows.
Cell dictionary vs personal dictionary?
A cell dictionary is a ready-made domain word pack you install in one tap; your personal dictionary is the words and habits you build up as you type. When switching devices, the personal dictionary is what you must back up.
How do I back up my personal dictionary?
On desktop, under Properties, Dictionary, Backup and Restore, export your personal dictionary to a file and keep it safe; or sign in to a Sogou account and enable cloud sync to back it up automatically.
How do I restore the dictionary on a new PC?
After installing the genuine app on the new PC, sign in to the same Sogou account and enable sync to pull back the cloud dictionary; or import your previously exported file under Dictionary, Backup and Restore.
Can phone and PC share the dictionary?
After signing in to the same Sogou account with cloud sync on, frequent words and your personal dictionary sync between phone and PC; some cell dictionaries must be installed on each device, while personal habits follow the account.
Will I lose the dictionary after switching phones?
If you signed in and enabled cloud sync before switching, signing in on the new phone restores your personal dictionary and habits; without sync, the local dictionary is lost with the old phone, so enable sync or export a backup first.
How do I export and import a dictionary file?
On desktop, choose Export in dictionary management to create a backup file and keep it safe; on the new device choose Import and select that file. Restart the input method after importing so custom words and phrases take effect.
Do too many dictionaries slow typing?
Usually not, since Sogou indexes dictionaries efficiently; but many unused cell dictionaries can add noisy candidates, so keep the relevant domains and remove the rest for cleaner suggestions.
Are custom phrases backed up with the dictionary?
Custom phrases are personal settings: some versions sync them with the account, others need a separate export under Custom Phrases. Export both phrases and your personal dictionary before switching, so your efficiency setup comes back together.
Can I recover a deleted dictionary?
If cloud sync was on, signing back in often restores it from the cloud; cell dictionaries can be reinstalled in one tap from the store; a local-only personal dictionary with no backup usually cannot be recovered, so back up regularly.
