Swiftkey keyboard if free on Amazon Market

It's got a lot of cool features, and I like it better than the Samsung keyboard.
You can check it out here.
Edit: free today 7/21

Yea, I got it today. Seems to work pretty well.

This is the best keyboard available in my opinion. I've tried swype and better keyboard even go keyboard and I keep coming back to SwiftKey.
Get it while it's free, one of the best apps i've seen offered free on the amazon appstore.

swiftkey is awesome

swype is more gooder.

I've been using swype but grabbed this one today to try out for a few days. So far I'm liking it

Swype is a solid keyboard, but I just can't bring myself to swype. I'd rather throw the phone sideways and text in landscape. Although, most keyboards are easier to use on this 4.5" screen!

This is probably the best keyboard ever I bought it a long time ago it even works perfect on this old school motor backdrop

If you like it check out swift key x beta I believe it called on the market. It's a newer version of it and has some pretty sick keyboard themes compared to this one. It is also free.

I didn't like it. I'm going back to the Gingerbread Keyboard.

Since I installed this keyboard my battery life seems to have lowered, anybody experience anything similar?

I had it and got it in the free app a day deal but uninstalled it right after. It used around 30 or so mb of ram.

I wanted to love this keyboard, and for the most part I do. However, I keep having this problem where it saves a period to the end of each word. Say, if I were to finish a sentence with the word "hotdog" I would type "hotdog." From then on, every time I type "hotdog" and hit the space key, it auto-corrects to "hotdog. " Does anyone else have this issue? Any ideas on disabling it? I've tried all of the different space function settings, but nothing fixes it. Otherwise, I would love this app.
I'm using the Gingerbread keyboard now with Infused V2B3, and it's working really well for me, but I think that without the aforementioned issue SwiftKey X would be at the top of my list.

Does this happen on every app? I ask this because some input methods used to have bugs on Google+.
Maybe you can try enabling and disabling 'Quick "."' in 'Advanced'?

I haven't noticed this at all. It took a bit to get it to work the way I would expect. My settings:
Typing style: precise
Spacebar will...: always insert a space
Quick ".": checked
All the rest are defaults

Swype

Anyone else notice that this version of swype is horrible? Anyone have workarounds or fixes? It hardly ever gets words right.

what version are you using? I installed swype beta and I love it! It is way better then what comes loaded on the phone.

Agreed my Swype I like better then stock so Smooth.

I'm using stock right now and hating it. I used the beta on my fascinate and liked it. I'll have to switch.

I thought the stock “Swype” was so bad that I was going to send the phone back. Got Swype Beta and it made all the difference in the world.

I have to agree about Swype, I feel like the latest update has been a step back. My complaints are:
1) they removed the "delete whole words" shortcut found in the menu when you Swype to the #5
2) I dislike how my Swype button rarely highlights a word so I can change it. Sometimes it will just keep going to the beginning of every word until it gets to the beginning of the sentence/paragraph.
3) the responsiveness for punctuation seems to miscalculate and place an error more frequently than I've seen in prior versions.
It feels like a step back although not much is missing. I've been using it for roughly a year so I know how far Swype has come.

Yeah, the stock swype keyboard is frickin awful. My accuracy with swype beta is probably > 90%. With stock swype it was probably < 50%. What a POS.

Best first post ever! :laugh:

Wow.....just installed swype beta instead of this stock samsung crap that was on before. Probably 96% accurate now instead of ~50%. It's now bearable to put text down with just one thumb again Now I just want that microphone icon on the swype keyboard so I can talk if I wanted.

I have been using Swype since my OG Droid and I don't think I could ever use another keyboard again. One tip I have is to turn off the auto-correct, especially useful if you use any shorthand or slang in texts etc.
SlimSnoopOS - I totally agree on #2, I hate that it only highlights the previous word about 25% of the time now. I can't figure it out, its like its totally random now...

I was a huge fan of Swype. After changing android phones without Swype on it, I started looking. Amazon offered Flex T-9 as the free app of the day some time ago which I lucked up and downloaded for free. This is the BEST app out there right now.
Not sure if they have a free trial, but it's definitely worth the money!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Agreed, stock swype is awful. It seems that it's attempt at "learning" has actually made it worse. I feel like it was more accurate 3 weeks ago than it is now.

The voice detection is still there, it's just the flame icon now (at the bottom right next to the Search/Return button).
The icon change was because Swype was bought by Nuance, which also owns Dragon Naturally Speaking (the flame logo). They are branding the voice search, which is why the icon has changed. I hope this also leads to some under-the-hood improvements thanks to the merger.

You can consider using Swiftkey 3 as well
I find it to be a lot better at text prediction although it may not work for those who prefer swyping

Just saying thanks guys. Beta Swype is awesome and is a million times more accurate than stock solution.

Keyboard lag?

Sorry for the title...couldn't think of any way to word this haha. Has anyone else noticed that the Samsung keyboard and all other keyboards lag a little? It seems like its only when the Samsung keyboard is installed...beans custom from included keyboard works great and is incredibly responsive. Swift key, jelly bean keyboard and all others have a little key press lag. Sometimes my thumbs are going so fast I can watch the sentence finish while I'm not typing!
I've tried uninstalling the Samsung keyboard and I think it helped and hasn't caused any issues thus far. Just figured I'd grab others experience.

I find it that this normally happens while im receiving a text message

I dont know if it's what youre looking for, but a lot of keyboards have 'keypress delay' settings. Usually under advanced settings. It got rid of the lag of the keys popping up after i pressed them

Stock Keyboard lag since Jelly Bean Update

Hello,
Is anyone has the same problem ? I One S has been updated (OTA) 2 days ago to Jelly Bean.... All is working fine but the stock keyboard seems to have a seriously lag when I use SMS, Facebook or Messenger....
It's very annoying cause I send a lot of sms and the lag is very important.... I tried to close background process, desactivated some services also...But it's the same....
Thanks You very much,
Mike

I seem to have exactly the same problem, very annoying. Perhaps it needs a couple of days to "sit in"?

buy swiftkey 3 and never look back, you won't regret it

Same issue here, very annoing! Energy save mode on or off doesn't matter...
Don't have the faster experience with jellybean yet.....

Same here, very laggy keyboard.
Overall, JB has slowed down my HTC one S.
Battery life seems also on the worse side, regardless the state of the "eco mode".
Sad.

Flash the stock jellybean keyboard. You'll find it if you go to the themes and apps page. Its really bloody accurate and its free. I think it's great and it doesn't lag at all

My stock keyboard never had any problem. Try clear cache and data. It might help.
However, SwiftKey is the best keyboard out there. You might want to consider it, and it currently on sale =)

Did you ever find a fix to this?
It's doing my head in so badly! I want to go back to the software before
Swiftkey helped marginally but the lag is still there, which is a pain as Im on whatsapp all the time.

Absolutely no lags with Swiftkey here! Did you hard reset after upgrading?

Nope as I didn't want to delete any of my applications or data. Unless there is a way around this?

Anyone?

Hi,
Did you ever find out what was causing this issue?
I've got the same lag issue on my new tablet.
Thanks!

I suggest to try the Xperia z keyboard... Look for it in this forum, I think is the best, and supports swift typing, double language, and t9 style typing!

Best, most responsive keyboard

Right now I'm using CleanROM. The keyboard it includes is pretty awful. I've replaced it with Kii, but - and I'm not sure if this is the keyboard or the ROM - the keyboard simply fails to show up on the screen for random 5-15 second intervals.
I'd like to replace the keyboard with something else. I really like the stock Android Jellybean and ICS keyboards.
Is there a way to get rid of the built-in keyboard entirely and replace it with the stock one?

i will never use any other keyboard besides swiftkey flow.
if you use your phone in landscape often, keymonk is interesting also.

Tried and didn't like the whole word prediction thing. Or swipe thing for that matter. I want something simple and barebones and fast/responsive as possible.

were the opposite lol. i only use swipe style keyboards.
hopefully someone else can give you a better recommendation.
before i switched to flow, i used the stock keyboard.

I didn't like Swype keyboards for the longest time. I told myself I would use one for a few days a really give it a chance. Been using Swype beta for months and love it. Blows away all other keyboards in my opinion.

I've always used perfect keyboard pro. Always has been super responsive and smooth for me. Tons of customization too. Up until this week when I tried it on Carbon 4.2. For some reason it doesn't play well on it

4.2 aosp or Swift key all the way.
Though I have to say that when I was on CleanRom I never had that much keyboard lag. Your installation may have issues especially if you restored apps using titanium.

4.2 AOSP keyboard for sure. A couple system apps + libs and you're set. You can even get one on the play store if you're super lazy.

I did not like swiping in the beginning much. Now, it is a must to have swiping capability. I found Swype beta to be the "best" right now,imo, just wish they have more themes to pick from. Or try Swiftkey.

I pretty much exclusively use a real virtual keyboard. Tops out between 65 and 70 words per minute. I just couldn't get down with the fake stuff.

The Gnote2 keyboard is pretty good.

There is a link in the theme forum to download. Just be sure to download the language before you try to open the keyboard, and don't install it with the ROM or you will be screwed upon activation. But once it's up, it's sweet.

+1 for SwiftKey. Best word prediction and no keyboard lag at all. I bought it almost a year ago and have been using it for awhile now. Best hands down.
