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

New swype beta 3.0

a mix of htc stock keyboard and swype, and more customizable. I like it so far

also using it and it easier to type with and swype with

For swyping type kbs, my experience has been that swype is the worst. Slideit and flex t9 still have better features and superior spelling correction.

I used swype for a while until I found flexT9, I like it much better

better than swype?! what is this flexT9 you guys speak of!

SwiftKey much better than swype imo.....

alot of reviews on flex is not good

The new version of swype > everything else right now IMO. Old version less so. This one is a huge improvement.

And you've got 2 xda members here with positive reviews. /shrug
Swype popularity is only because they came out first and are free. The paid alternatives are better IMO. Slideit has a trial if you want to give it a whirl. Flex t9 was free on Amazon a while ago.

free for u to use but the phone makers have to pay.

This version of Swype is much better than previous versions.

I agree, much better.

I've been using flext9 for quite a while now, dl'd free from Amazon. The market has it rated at four stars out of five. Obviously not everyone is going to be a happy customer, but it has worked for me just fine.
Sent from MY LeeDroid loaded Inspire

Honestly I like the keyboard but its a bit bulky and laggy. Flext9 is much smoother.. But not necessarily a bad keyboard but not the best

The only issue that I've run into with Swype 3 is that it doesn't seem to send the character for my login password in RDP, but, rather, the bullet (like it pre-hides the character). I don't RDP with my phone often, but it's nice to have when I need it. Also, I think saving creds in my RP shortcut will fix this problem.

I personally think swype is better than everything else right now, especially with this new update. So much better now ><

[APP]Blacked Out Gingerbread Keyboard[EDT]

This is a EDT themed gingerbread keyboard. Annex1 and I put this together a while back and I thought I would share with you guys. Just download and install like a normal apk.

Nice. Any thoughts on theming Swype for future... oh wait, can't do that (can we?)
Either way, it seems to support the minimalism in a certain ROM I be developing. Very interesting... I'mma gonna pull out my keyboard APK, yours, decompile both, and look at differences in files?

There is 2 or 3 themed Swypes for the revolution. It is possible just a P.I.T.A.

Does swype even work? I tried pushing the apk and lib but it just force closed on me. I have a whole bunch of theme swype boards from my vibrant days.

Didn't the Triumph come with Swype preinstalled? There are two off-brand Swype versions I have, can pm you the links if you want
I tried to add a MyTouch look to the latest version of Swype but failed... Again, I don't know how allowed it is to talk about versions of Swype not already installed on the users' phone, for reasons probably only Swype knows.

Nope. Touch pal, and the stock android keyboard is all we get. Swype doesn't work. I tried many versions. Thanks for the offer, but I only use the gingerbread keyboard.

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.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

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.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

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.

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.

SwiftKey Flow

Is anyone else really excited for this app? I am an avid SwiftKey user, and this looks like the perfect combination between Swype and SwiftKey. There's a video preview online, and it looks awesome. I'm signed up for beta testing, and I'm anticipating this greatly. Does anyone know when this beta may be released to the VIP members of their forums?

This will be the one keyboard to rule them all. I have switched between TouchPal and Swiftkey just on the swipe like function alone. But Swiftkey has always been better at predicting what you are going to say, even for my bi-lingual self (English/Spanish).

i am really excited. im so sick of the stock keyboard.

The music made it so intense. I was waiting for something to explode.! Lol

SwiftKey is awesome, but I never cared for swype. I can touch type with SwiftKey pretty well... thanks to the auto correct. I still signed up for the beta though

Signed up for the beta aswell I love swift key 3

I'm a Swype users, but will definitely switch if SwiftKey pulls this off well. I can't stand touch typing, but I also can't stand how dumb Swype is when it comes to learning my styles. Swype does have the Dragon speech recognition software built-in, though.

Sign up for VIP. You get all betas and are Emailed when available.

I like Swype, but I'm hoping this is a better replacement. I can't stand touch typing. Being able to download right from the market...all they have to do is pull off swyping and I'm in.

You are setting yourself with that expectation ha SwiftKey takes awhile to introduce customization. Regardless, can't wait to try this out too. Their beta for SwiftKey 3 was awesome so I'm looking forward to this.
