Swype, baby.

I use Swiftkey beta and the gingerbread keyboard.I prefer the swiftkey keyboard over the gingerbread one.

Thanks to all the replies here for using Swype on the Inc2, I downloaded the newest beta version yesterday and I love it....love it, love it, love it.

I'm using SwiftKey. It learns your typing patterns and predicts what word you're going to type next with uncanny accuracy. I've really enjoyed it.

Gingerbread Keyboard APP.

DL it and mysteriously it stopped working so uninstalled and reinstalled and hope it sticks now!

 

[dumluk2002]

Just a minor difference that bugs me....the automatic smiley at the lower right of my Droid 1, is now an arrow on the Inc2............is this something that is customizable or am I stuck?

Anal I know!

 

[darkside]

Nope

I beg to differ. I'm running themed swype and have been for a long time. I've been through about five different themes

I don't have the option

Where did you find the themes and how do you use them? I don't see an option for themes with swype.

 

[valorian]

I downloaded the GB keyboard app to give it a try. I see there is an option to change themes but it's greyed out. Anyone know why it's greyed out?

EDIT: Nevermind this question.

I just installed this keyboard on my phone. Its basically the stock keyboard with much better word prediction. I like it!

 

[papaandroid]

Swiftkey rocks. I have big hands and fingers so the word prediction works best. It actually learns your writing style and after a while I am hitting just the prediction key to input words.

So I installed the Swype beta and it does not seem to be coming up when I use the keyboard. The keyboard settings say to use Swype but the keyboard looks the same as normal.

Is Swiftkey $3.99 or is there a free version? I could not find anything other than Swiftkey X.

 

[papaandroid]

They had a free beta version before the pay-for app, which I snagged just in time. They removed it and mine stopped working but it gave me a taste of how the keyboard worked and sold me on it.

I would suggest viewing the video found on the app page, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey&feature=search_result , read the comments and decide if you want to have a go with it. You should be able to ask for a refund within 15mins if you don't like it.

To activate the swype, open a text box and press on the text box until the input method window pops up. Click on that and then you can select swype.

Love it. Can't believe how well it works!

 

[thetomlin2]

Anyone who wants to try SwiftKey X, it is free today in the amazon app store

 

[Rich_NY]

I love it, it's free in the marketplace. You do need to buy a key to unlock some features for $2.99 but worth it to me.

Swype, baby.

Swype version 3.26 available for download to beta users! I just got it & it is great!
Redesigned keyboard layout, gestures, copy & paste, number row, redesigned settings menu, no need for the stupid installer & having to do a fresh install every time you update after this.

Rumors of different skins & color trace lines coming soon as the first auto update!
Awesome! Swype, baby! It's the best & just got better!!!

Swype Beta Updated to Version 3.26 – New Color Scheme Soon, Automatic Updates - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

Used Swift Key X for a while, then fell in love with Flex T9 after it was offered free one day on Amazon.

Is the Amazon app still requiring that a payment method be on file to download free apps?
I somehow can't get past that...

Swype, baby

I ran the old installer, got a message that a new version was available, then got a could not parse error. So I went to Swype | Text Input for Screens and downloaded the new installer. Ran it and it says Swype installed. It didn't update. I'm still on 3.25. How do you get the new version?

* You would think I would remember this. You have to uninstall Swype before you can update. The new version looks really fuzzy to me but seems to be working better.
