swype alternative

What are the best alternatives out there?
Depends on who you ask. Have you checked the existing threads on keyboard apps? I'm currently using Swype but trying out 8pen which has quite a learning curve but seems very accurate. You might want to qualify exactly what you mean by "best". Are you looking for easiest learning curve? Are you looking for certain features such as autocomplete, suggestions, autocorrection, multitouch etc?

what hoops are you talking about?

I'm sure he's talking about that every couple of months it stops working requiring you to uninstall and reinstall the latest version. They're beta upgrade process is ridiculous.

Personally for me, right now, I've been in the beta program for months, my log-in isn't working, their password retrieval isn't working, and it's just a pain in the ass because they self-destruct old versions. I found this threat trying to find an alternative to Swype on Android that provides similar functionality but without having to be in one of the most obnoxious beta programs.
