I just created one test word. I am trying to disable this.
This is my own course.

Hi there, I know this keyboard is created in the course set up himself.
So if it’s your course … you go to edit course. then on open the lines of your level and make an edit column. a window open , tap testing the key board is there…
keep in mind that people who do not have yet installed an appropriate keyboard can not type in the learning language. I do not see any parameter in your personal profile to stop or remove that.
Hope this helps !
cheers

it is about this: Memrise Release Notes - 28 Nov 2017 (Update on changes to typing test)

it is not an onscreen keyboard (that is a different things), but is about “helping the learner to (not-)learn”

somewhere there in that thread (I wonder why the team considered necessary to close that thread???) is a coding line that one can add in ublock or similar, for blocking the stupid “hints”

Please can you send me a screen shot of what you mean. I really don’t understand…

This post by matteogiuseppe may help get around the problem, if you have uBlock or AdBlock.

Also, on my own test course, when I go to “Edit Course” there is no longer an option to enable/disable showing of the on-screen keyboard, which used to be there, if I remember correctly, and I can’t find it in my learning options either.

On that screenshot you referred to, If you leave
the “Keyboard characters” field blank it defaults to an onscreen keyboard. So in the “Keyboard characters” field I just typed in some arbitrary letter like “☆” and only that letter shows up in the onscreen keyboard. Which solves the problem.

@DW7 - can we make this suggestion from @yun6798 a solution? Thank you!
Some people have been looking for that forever.

Hi @John_Baite firstly thanks you for all your ‘likes’, however I do not work for MemRise so can’t implement this solution globally.

Creators can however set it up for any courses they have created.

If this is the case, try and get in touch with the creator via the “[Course Forum]” for the appropriate course/s.

Well this is the solution (see below) I got from someone else on here. But yeah pity there’s not just an option in memrises’ settings to turn it off/on

Download uBlock
In uBlock:
Open uBlock Dashboard
Click on My Filters tab
Add entry: www.memrise.com##.clearfix.keyboard
Click Apply changes.

@amanda-norrsken - can we make this a wiki? Thanks!

It’s very kind of you to ask me, but I am just a regular memrise user :slight_smile: And I wouldn’t even know HOW to make anything into a wiki, either, LOL.

But, please, go ahead! I am able to just ignore the line of letters on the web version, less so on my phone. But I rarely use memrise on my phone, anyway, so it’s not really an issue for me.

It also works easily with AdBlockPlus. Just click “Block Element” and select the keyboard with the mouse.
