I was a beta tester for touchpal. After a day or two I sent my thoughts from the address
samuelmaskell@gmail.com. here is the original email.
Hi,
I've been using the touchpal keyboard all day today and I thought I would share my first impressions.
Things I like:
Easy to switch keyboards
Easy to change language
multi-language support(though I have not tried it because I only have one language pack currently)
Easy access to symbols by swiping down
Prediction of next word
Little to no lag
Things I would like to see:
Haptic/vibration feedback
Double tap space bar for period
Larger keys in landscape mode
Prediction for punctuation(I often hit comma instead of L and it never corrects it)
Incorrect key prediction on compact qwerty(the keys may be bigger but I still hit the wrong one occasionally) - this is included in HTC's keyboard
Bigger dictionary(not bad but HTC's is bigger on non-google branded phones)
Press and swipe sideways on symbol key for a few quick options like on HTC keyboard
Overall it is quite nice but there are a few things I would like to see. Right now I would say that it is fairly good bit it has the potential to be much better. I will keep you posted if I think of anything else that I would like to see.
Thanks,
Samuel Maskell
hope that helps a little. I'd like to see this thing go far.
