Swift keyboard or swype

Just wondering which you guys prefer or thinks better.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

I used swype for a while but switched to swift a week or so ago and think I prefer it.

I used to use swype, but now I use Flex T9 Text Input. It was free for a day on Amazon. I love it! It's like swype, but seems to have better word recognition and I don't have to reselect it as a keyboard after a reboot like I used to have to do with swype.

I used to use Swype but now I'm using FlexT9. Absolutely love it.

I'm using swift keyboard. In my opinion nothing beats it. Wish it had a dark theme though.

The new swiftkey beta has a dark keyboard, so its coming.

Swype all the way.

Ha! another "this vs that" question put to bed. gotta love 'em

I prefer flext9 as well. I had swype and flex seems to be a better job of grouping realistic suggestions. Like swype "good" and it may give you god, and none of the other 8 options are what you want. But in flex it's usually right on. even with things like "well" the next suggestion would be "we'll". Swype usually gave me a hard time on contractions, or words with 2 of the same letter in a row. So far, flext9 hasn't.

+1 on flex t9....its awesome with 4 input methods. Like swype and stock keyboard in one.

I used to be a die hard swype user, Then I tried swift keys new beta its annoying ......but the FlexT9 is the best ive ever used....

swift is actually really good

Flex T9 for me, got it free from Amazon the other day. Feels a lot smoother and doesn't have all the nonsensical words that aggravate me so bad with swype. That **** makes me RAAAAGE when I'm using Swype and it throws in some non-word like "fre," and then adds insult to injury by not letting you delete the damn word from the dictionary. Think I'll stick with Flex for now =)

Flex T9, even if you missed out on the Amazon deal, well worth the money!

Flex t9 is better than both and highly recomended

+1 to Flex T9, awesome. I've used all the keyboards, swype was amazing, smartkeyboard pro was overkill, swiftkey very impressive but hands down the best is Flex. Many options and very customiseable.

I like swift. Works great for me

Replacement keyboard app

Looking for a replacement keyboard app. I currently use smart keyboard pro, its decent but looking to make a change depending on suggestions from users. Paid apps are fine, I don't mind supporting awesomeness lol.

Swiftkey X is one of the best out there. It can learn from SMS, YouTube, Facebook. You can theme it. It keeps statistics too, for what they're worth. I'd give that one a shot.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I only use smart keyboard pro. Give a few a try.

I use swiftkey x and it's awesome. Highly recommend it.

For what it's worth, I like super keyboard, the keys are the right size and I like it particularly because I can switch between and English keyboard and a Russian one, it can auto correct, you can program abbreviations which it automatically converts to the full word or words. Only complaint is the placement of the period, I tend to hit it when I hit the space bar.

I've used swiftkey x in the past and it couldn't keep up with my typing but that could have been the rom I was at the time too. I'll take a look at super keyboard and give swiftkey another shot.

If you're a fast typer go for Super Keyboard, it keeps right up with my fast fingers, good old NES button mashing paid off.

Swiftkey x was OK. I couldn't get with checking if the next predicted word was what I was going to be typing. It really didn't save me any time. I like flext9 personally. Even has a swype feature.

Been using it since yesterday. Its a little low on features/customization but it is very fast and responsive. It could stand to be a tad larger.

I found the size to be great just the; pretty factor isn't really there but thats okay with me as I am trying to keep memory consumption down...
Edit: just tried swiftkey x and was very disappointed. Uses over 40mb of ram that's more than my launcher ffs not only that I couldn't find a way to disable the auto space after punctuation which pisses me off beyond all belief. Skins looked really nice tho..... unistalled and refunded. Wouldn't recommend it. Go keyboard and ics keyboard ftw.

There's 2 ics keyboards for free on the market which one are you using? There's the one made by johbtanmi and the other is made by vllwp.
I tried swiftkey x again and was still disappointed.

I'm trying out the donation version by him now. I was using the one by vllwp, which worked well. The themes are the look of the keyboard. You can change the way it looks, vllwp version looks like ics. Johntanmi donation version let's you choose the look, the choices are just the same ones all keyboards can choose from, there is an option to download more though.

Recommend another keyboard?

The predictive text on the stock keyboard it's getting annoying. Love the swype feature though. I'm torn. Which one are you guys using?

I have used the Flex T9 keyboard since I first got my Droid X and have loved it ever since. It has a swype style typing option which works just as well from my experience. Could be worth looking into.

Jelly bean. Best thing ive dled so far

I'm a swiftkey user. I don't find the predictive text to be intrusive and yet it's useful when you want it.

IMO smart keyboard. If you would like to suppor the developers. Get smart keyboard pro.

Another vote for SwiftKey 3.
It was the only keyboard that actually let me leave behind the QWERTY slider from my old phone.

Another vote for swiftkey here for sure. Have had the trial for a week and absolutely love it! The predictive text is spot on 99% of the time and its smooth typing.

I'll put down another for SwiftKey 3. Honestly you can DL it right now and have it learn how you type through SMS, Facebook, and email you've already sent and instantly the predictions will be spot on. You can't go wrong with it. Worth the couple bucks.

Jellybean keyboard from the market there's nothing like stock Google

I tried all the swype-style keyboards and then tried SwiftKey. I'll never go back.
PS: I love Hacker's Keyboard for terminal type stuff. The layout is driven more by that style of usage and there's no aut-capping, (wrong) word guessing and the like that just annoys when doing technical things.

Does the free swiftkey have ads in it? I really don't want to pay for an app with ads.
What does the paid app offer that the free one doesn't?

Yet another vote for SwiftKey, we'll worth the money. From my understanding the free version either quits learning or stops the prediction after thirty days

Is this really the case? Because I've always wanted to get the paid version but I could never justify the purchase if the free one has everything has the paid one.

Yup. It stops learning your predictions after some time. Definitely worth purchasing it though. I was hesitant at first but loving it.

Stock ICS/Jellybean
You can download the Stock ICS APK from google. Stock Jellybean should be in the market

Anything other than the swiftkey3 is a waste of time. I predict Google or another manufacturer will buy them to include in their hardware/software. Amazon had it for free last year and that's how I got it but I would pay $10 for it if I had to. It's less than a cup of coffee on the market.

I think I paid $0.10 for it during a promotion. Amazing keyboard...I was a Swype user before but I have been converted. I love the fact that it learns from previous texts, Facebook, and gmail!

Best Swype Keyboard

I was wondering what do you guys think is the best swype keyboard? I've used Swype.com keyboard but was wondering if there is more customizable ones.

There are quite a few in the market. I used ultra keyboard. With that one, you can customize everything.

Slide it by a landslide

Swype beta.. I have swift key installed also but prefer Swype.

Flex T9 is the best for me and I have tried all of them.

[App] Swype competition

I remember a while back there was a thread asking for suggestions for a keyboard to replace Swype. I came across one that deserves a look. Tswipe is a very nice option with a ton of customizations. It can be found in the Play Store as "free" however the swipe feature is a limited trial. I have no affiliation but just thought it was worth a share because I hadn't heard of it before.

Give Keymonk a try.
It is by far the fastest of all sweep keyboards.

Hmm it Seems to be kinda weird.

But only because it was invented by a monkey.
It was bound to happen.
They have put an infinite number of monkeys in front of type writers hoping one of them will type the complete works of Shakespeare,
and one of them unexpectedly typed out the program code for Keymonk.

Best Keyboards ever (for me):
1° Touch Pal
2° Keymonk Keyboard
3° Swiftkey
Any of them are pretty good.

1° Touch Pal
2° Keymonk Keyboard
are quite promising.
