Do you use swipe or regular typing

[eddiekeyton]

I never have used the swipe function but I've lately been swiping a lot and I have found it to be much faster over I got the hang of it.

My question is which one do you use on a daily basis and does swiping help you type much faster than regular typing when you really get good at it?

Question:

Do you swipe
Do you type the regular way
Do you use a mixture of swipe and type

both

I type the regular way.

 

[Clementine_3]

I swipe and type. I use the Google keyboard, it's pretty good.

Do you use a mixture of swipe and type

^^^this for me. I normally type, but once in a while I swipe.

 

[zuben el genub]

I type. I tried Swype when it was in fashion and my fingers seem to stick at the wrong place.

Yes, I washed my hands.

Same here, I just didn't have the patience to figure out where i need to go next, although typing easily figure out position of keys but if I tried to type say "turtle" I would go something like "tu-urtl-le". I have one friend that uses swype and she is rapid on it...baffles me.

I've been using Swype since my first Android phone and can't get used to anything else. I've tried Swiftkey and some others, but Swype is much faster and more forgiving for me.

Swype is the ONLY keyboard that I use anymore.

I have tried them all, none are as reliable as Swype... I hate the way SwiftKey has their keyboard setup, I can't configure it like I want, and their swiping action is not near as reliable as the one for Swype,.

Swipe/type here. You get a feel for what swipe is just not going to do for you.. and type. Swipe is much faster for the normal conversation.

 

[no one]

I have my Smith-Corona Skyriter connected to my Atari 2600. So yeah, I type.

 

[Dngrsone]

I Swype.

... Then I type because Swype doesn't seem to know half the words I use.

It invariably gets off and of backwards...

 

[sleedeane]

I definitely will always swipe from SwiftKey. It took a little while for it to learn me/me to learn it but now I'm ridiculously fast on it and it's always learning/getting faster.

 

[Dngrsone]

It's funny how fast sometimes... A couple times, I'd be entering someone's contact information and they are absolutely amazed that I can enter a name or street name so quickly.

I am getting used to the swipe function but there does seem to be a few hurdles lol sometimes I will completely forget about it for a few days though. I couldn't imagine using swipe while drunk lol

 

[nightowl66]

I swype, type, and use voice to text. Since I got the S7 a couple months ago, the swyping isn't very good. Lots of wrong words. My HTC one m8 swype worked great.

 

[Dngrsone]

Ditch the Samsung keyboard and go with Swype. It's worth what you pay for it.

 

[psionandy]

Me... I do a mixture of typing and selecting from the autocomplete options.

 

[eddiekeyton]

The past few days I have had to disable the swiping function. While I am typing it'll try to swipe even when my fingers aren't off the key oard it'll still trace. Idk if its a slight lag. Or what

 

[Bearsyzf]

no swiping for me, I type irregular
