Very happy.
Thank you Smart Keyboard Pro developers.

hi rockky,
i dont think this is the better way for you to talk about keyboard, there were thread about keyboard.. you may continue there... others able to follow up... no need a new thread. thanks

That seems to be about one keyboard in particular.

@rocky
........never mind me
whats the difference between this and the stock keyboard?

There's 4 different ones but the Iphone one has spaces surrounding all letters making it way easier to deliniate letters visually and hit them physically.

I'm using Swiftkey alpha limited version.
It predicts your next word rather than correcting it. And you choose one of 3 boxes on top instead of pressing space. So after typing a couple of letters, the word you want is usually up there.

where did you find swiftkey?

/me demands a swiftkey apk.

the default nexus one keyboard does suck monkey rocks.... I've been looking for a keyboard, but I just tried the DESIRE ROM and the HTC keyboard ROCKS! The ROM is just not quite ready for prime time though...

dang swift key is pretty badass

Really wish someone had a swiftkey apk to throw to the great people at xda devs.

A quick google for "swiftkey apk" will get you a copy!
Just tried it out and its pretty good!
I also love Smart Keyboard Pro.. I keep switching between SKP, HTC and Swiftkey!

Smart Keyboard has greatly improved its word correction algorithm. It is still not on par with HTC_IME's but I would say it is almost comparable to the stock one. I prefer Smart Keyboard for the multitouch capabilities. I type faster and it just feels more natural. I know the HTC_IME is not multitouch, is Swiftkey? I signed up for the beta trial but as of yet have not received notice.

Swiftkey is hands down the best N1 keyboard.

Testing now. I will let you know.

swift key gave me better results than Smart pro.
They both suck ass simply because theyve failed to include a good voice to text icon.

I like smart keyboard a lot, I just wish it had voice to text. I'd assume it's just a simple API call, and you're done, no? Not like you need to code the entire service.
I can type incredibly fast with it, which I cannot do on the stock keyboard. That is enough for me to use it.

Have to say that Smart KB is really great. Works very well with Germany qwertz layout and types better than stock or htc.

I still think Swype is #1 keyboard.

you are crazy to think that the stock Gingerbread keyboard isnt as responsive *glare*
the HTC keyboard is pretty good, and if you can get into the beta, the swype keyboard is great too

This. The stock keyboard is amazing.

I'm also very happy with the stock GingerBread keyboard, and ease of language change
it's not as smooth as SWYPE, for fast typing, but i could get used to it
SWYPE is much more natural, but changing language is not so easy as the GB stock keyboard

Im using the Swiftkey one more and more now. Used Swype but it didnt really do it for me. The stock gingerbread keyboard is quite nice but the keys are too tiny ( I dont even have big fingers)

Using Swype here, as I had gotten used to it on the Epic (when I had it), and love it!

just flip the phone horizontally (that's what i do)
yes i find it tiny as well, that is why it's a bit tricky to type fast
but with SWYPE, i don't need to flip the phone, i was able to type real fast even when the phone is in vertical portrait mode

I have to say, the keyboard and typing is one of the few sore spots I have for the Android experience. While the new stock keyboard is much improved over previous iterations, it can still be a bit slow and unresponsive, often missing certain presses; and its auto-correction just isn't as clever as it should be. Another issue I have, particularly with the Nexus S, is that other times, the screen is too sensitive, it seems. Has anyone tried this yet: you can hover your finger slightly off the screen, and it'll register as a press. This might be contributing to hitting wrong keys and spelling errors when my thumbs glaze over the keyboard while typing fast. It's very frustrating. The biggest culprit of this problem seems to occur when I'm trying to type "I'm"... it almost always results in "km" instead. Other examples are when letters get registered twice, like tthis or like thiss. However, it's prone to missing space bar presses, resulting too often in words likethis.
Unfortunately, Google decided to not provide any customizable dictionary or custom auto-correct features. This is baffling to me and where Google's attempt to copy the Apple keyboard goes too far. Speaking of Apple, I say this without any intention of starting immature flame wars, but the iPhone - and even the iPod touch - keyboards are far more smooth, responsive, and reliable. Anyone who has typed extensively on both platforms will know what I mean. I can type with utmost confidence on an iPhone (that's not to say it's perfect). I cannot say I type confidently with my Nexus. And forget about including sound or haptic feedback; these things seem to slow the typing experience down, where it'll miss even more key presses.
Everyone's typing methods and speeds are different, so everyone will have different typing experiences, but for me, it continues to be a sore spot. Which leads me to my next question: when is Blindtype going to be implemented? Anyone heard any new news on it?
Anyway, to answer the OP's question: I am currently trialing Swiftkey. It can be impressive at times, and it's often very intuitive, but I find it's actually slower than typing out on a regular keyboard because I'm too busy making sure it chooses the right words. Then again, it might still be "learning." We'll see when the 31-day trial is over.
Prior to this, I was using Smart Keyboard Pro, which isn't as responsive and quick as stock Android, but it has tons of customizable features which make up for it (for example, I can custom the auto-correction to always change "km" to "I'm"). This is what I'll go back to if I pass on purchasing Swiftkey.
PS. I have Swype as well, and it's fun, but not practical in my opinion.

The best keyboard for me is NO KEYBOARD. For short stuff, like text or emails or a short forum message, you really should give voice input a go for a few days and see how much easier it is than anything else.
Swiftkey my favorite keyboard at the moment, but another fine one and my primary keyboard before I heard of SwiftKey is Better Keyboard (not sure there's a free trial on it), but there's a free public beta going on right now.

Keyboard Preference

I started a poll on sms preference, but I wanted to start one on keyboard too. I personally use Swift Key x. I've tried the other ones (mainly swype style key boards) and I just realize at the end of the day, I can type faster with two thumbs than dragging one. What keyboard do you guys use and what theme?
EDIT:
I use AOSP when CM7 comes out. At the end that one is my favorite.

I tried a bunch of different keyboards before settling on Smart Keyboard Pro. I just wanted a simple keyboard (no swiping, fancy predictive text that tries to guess what I'm typing, etc.) that could be themed and remove the period. That damn period was bugging me and Smart Keyboard had the option to remove it. I also like the Honeycomb theme I'm using for it.

At the moment i use SwiftKey X and i'm happy with it so far.

I use the stock one and have never tried another one. Now that I wanna try something different, I will wait a little bit to see the result of this poll.

I like the way swift key auto corrects, it does it well. Something about smart keyboard pro annoyed me. I can't remember what. I think it was something about typing smilies

Swift Key X all day in the blue neon look. Excellent sizing to the keys, great look, and great features such as the fact that if you use spacebar to automatically fill out the predicted word and then want to put punctuation, it will automatically put that punctuation up against the last word even though the cursor was spaced out one space past the last word (that was probably confusing lol).

Thumb Keyboard
Thumb Keyboard rocks! I have tried several keyboards and by far this one is the best. Granted, no swipe, but then again I'm not a big fan of the swype (I have put in the effort and am still faster with a standard qwerty). After I loaded the free version of this keyboard and trying it, I was instantly sold. It is SO easy to get used to, and the portrait mode is a one hand wonder!

Absolutely thumb keyboard is the best if you have issues with hitting the "." Button when trying to hit the spacebar, on the stock keyboard and basically every other market keyboard the spacebar is way to small, I miss my genuine swype, but nothing else compares to thumb keyboard with the blue nuance theme....

That actually looks very interesting. I missed this one, gonna give it a shot now.

I used better keyboard since my original mytouch 3g and it worked great for me. But I have to say that since I downloaded the Swype beta keyboard from www.swype.com I have fallen in love with it. This keyboard is not just quick and easy to use but it is also 100% FREE! I honestly feel that if you give this keyboard a try for a week that you will not new disappointed.

Best keyboard for landscape typing on the Note

I am trying to determine the best keyboard for landscape (2 thumb) fast typing on the Galaxy Note. I have tried Smart Keyboard Pro and Swiftkey phone version in addition to the stock keyboard and find Swiftkey better than the others. Is there a better keyboard out there which will make typing more accurate on this large screen?

For me the best is also SwiftKey.
It's predictions after a short learning time is awesome.

Try thumb keyboard. It had some great reviews for the dell streak a time ago http://www.streaksmart.com/2011/01/thumb-keyboard-updated-with-new-5-layout-for-dell-streak.html This is a old review. It has way more features now, but the layout is the same.
I will update it this week. The rendering of the secondary characters is not good right now on the Note.
If there are particular requests, let me know.

Thumb Keyboard.... nothing else comes close in my opinion. It just works as you want it to, and you can set up a lot of useful things on it, without it being over the top. It's a rare example of something being "spot on". It transformed touchscreen typing on my HD2 with long fingers, as I've always been a fan of physical keyboards on a device.
Don't want to brag it up too much, as the writer is on this forum, with a Galaxy Note, which he claims he will update to do a "Note" version (ie taking into consideration the screen size)
Over to you Appelflap!

LOL - Spooky!!!!!!
I had an idea tonight in work.....
People have said you need two hands to use this device and to type on... so I was thinking - for a right handed person for example, couldn't you pad out the left hand side of the keyboard, so it would all get shifted over to the right, so a right handed person could hold the phone in their hand, and still type using the thumb? Obviously the keyboard would now only be HD2 sized for example, but shifted over to the right hand side of the device, with a gap on the left.
Just a thought.

Great idea. I've already such a thing implemented for 10" tablets, but I think the concept will work on the Note to.

I had a look at this keyboard a little earlier. My first reaction was that it may not suit my style of typing due to the gap in the middle of the keyboard (may be because my style is a bit odd). What I find myself doing is that I would type characters in the middle like 'T' and 'Y' using either the left or the right thumb depending on the word. For example to type 'THAT' I would do this
T - left thumb
H - right thumb
A - left thumb
T - right thumb
So you can see I typed 'T' first using the left thumb and then using the right thumb. This gives me the fastest typing speed as when my left thumb is pressing the character 'A' my right thumb is moving towards 'T' (at least that's what I believe anyway)
As another example, I find that if I typed 'T' with my left thumb and the next character is adjacent to it e.g. 'Y', I would also use my left thumb for 'Y' as it happens to be right next to the character I just typed.
As so many people think of this keyboard highly, I will give this keyboard a go and hopefully my daemons will go away with use.

+1 for Thumb KB. I have it all all my devices: phones & tablets.

Beta (update for the Note)
Here's a new version that I will release later this week on the market. For now it contains a update for the Note screen resolution. I thought it was worthwhile to post it here for those people who are running a previous version (which doesn't run well on the Note)
The keyboard contains also (the original) Ice Cream Sandwich theme. It expires Nov. 10.

Swiftkey for tablets in landscape the best I've tried so far, does obscure the text entry field in some apps though...

Many thanks. I will give this a go now.

I don't know if any keyboards do this, but what I would love a keyboard layout with:
numeric keypad on one side (preferably switchable for left handers/right handers), and the normal keyboard on the other.
That way it is much less annoying when you have to type a mix of numbers/letters (wap passwords, etc).
The great thing about android of course, is you can just switch keyboards to fit one that suits your current need.

Hi appelflap,
First off awesome keyboard, have been using it on all my devices for a while.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but with the new beta I am using Phone: Standard Layout for portrait and Phone/Tablet: 5" Layout for landscape, in portrait mode while using the browser or Google Talk if I long press the period key at the lower right of the keyboard the default secondary symbol is a comma, in landscape it is a plus, any way to change the default to the comma for landscape as well.
Thanks,

Why Swype is better, way better, than SwiftKey

Since i stepped into Android, by one thing i was amazed and it was/is Swype. Then other keyboards appeared and SwiftKey X was the most popular among them. So i used it for two weeks to see how good and efficient it is then went back to Swype. Why? The video proves why.
I am on 102°F while i was typing (in fact that's the reason why i have done this video as i had nothing to do, lol), so take 30-45 seconds out from both the video.
I would like to find a more simpler article as base, but couldn't find any by simple Googling.
Regards.
PS: If already this has been done by some fellow member please pardon me, i haven't searched

I agree with you totally, imho after swype any other keyboard in android makes me sad panda =(

I actually like SwitKey better... but I use Swype. I like being able to type with one hand.
P.S. not sold on the new Swype beta - I love the prediction, but it seems to be a bit of a hog.

I am a FlexT9 man myself..

No offense, but you seem to be pretty slow at typing and I think that's why you are faster with Swype. I think it really comes down to peoples personal typing styles. I am a fast typer but end up making a decent amount of mistakes especially with the stock HTC keyboard. I recently started using the trace function on the stock keyboard on my Evo 3D (custom ICS rom though) which is basically the same thing as Swype. While I did enjoy it more than normal typing and it made me faster, I ended up correcting a lot of errors and inputting new words. I then bought Swiftkey 3 and after setting it up, fell in love. It's just a lot smarter than Swype. It's like it knows what I want to say before I even start typing. Also I love the new cobalt theme they have.
So it really depends on your personal typing styles.

I use the stock HTC keyboard, which has Swype-like "trace input" (basically a blatant clone of Swype, but IMO a nicer looking keyboard; I did install Swype before I found the option to enable trace input) and I think it is absolutely fantastic. However, on my Blackberry Playbook, the built in (and non-changeable ) keyboard is made by SwiftKey, and is apparently very similar to the Android version, only themed differently. I have to say it is quite excellent, it can often predict the next word I want to use, preventing me even having to type some words at all, and at times only makes me type the first letter or two before it guesses. Main reason I haven't tried it on Android is because it costs, and I am perfectly happy with the HTC keyboard, which is free.
If there was some amalgamation between Swype and SwiftKey, with the swyping of Swype and the prediction of SwiftKey, it would undoubtedly be my keyboard of choice.

Stock ICS keyboard FTW!

I prefer the one handed operation of Swype 3.25. Swiftkey has been ruined. I used to use it and its pumpkin theme because it disabled the keypress pop up. Now it's in every theme. And there is still no dedicated enter key.
The new Swype sucks, after nuance bought them out. I hate the mandatory Swype connect process that runs, the large footprint, etc.. 3.25 is probably the last acceptable version. If anyone has apk's of builds produced after 3.25, please post them as I'd love to try them out.
Also if anyone has a stock ics keyboard apk that was pulled from a ROM, not the market version, post that too please.

I'm not sure if it's still on sale, I can't see because I've already bought it, but Swiftkey 3 was on sale for $1.99 for a week. Again, not sure if that week is still going on but I bought it because of the half off sale.

As I said, I am not that slow, it was my shaky hands due to the fever. But yes I might definitely be slower than you.
But sorry, I can't agree that Swiftkey is smarter than Swype.

I did notice that and consider it, but to be honest, the screen on my phone is a bit cramped for "proper" typing, so I decided to stick with my HTC trace input. I'd probably only go for SwiftKey if it added a swype/trace like function.

I have used lots of keyboards of every type and I always come back to Swype. I like Swiftkey's prediction but I've had tough life with predictions. And anyway, my main concern is the speed which Swype most definitely provides me. It depends on your typing habits and screen size, of course.

I always liked ai type until I tried the SwiftKey beta. My only wish is that SwiftKey would do voice to text like Ai type does using the ics real time transcription rather than the old one. I never liked swype mainly because I drive for a living so my use case makes it tough to swype and drive. Much easier to peck but even easier still to speak.

I used swype quite a lot but found it would remember everything I'd typed. So it would end up changing the correct word to a captcha I'd typed in months ago. Now I use SwiftKey to get round that problem

The fact is that, with SwiftKey, you can tipe without watching the screen. If you use Swipe, you must watch it! Or I'm wrong?

Nah, its just getting used to your phone... Somehow I Swype blindly, just a matter of time for everyone.
