I'm using SwiftKey Flow.
You can flow couple of words at the same time, which is awesome, and you can enter ?/! very fast!
Samsung keyboard. Only one with swipe, handwriting and number row. AFAIK.
For me the Samsung continues input is a very superior option. Even with fast and sometimes inaccurate swiping it manages to get it just right most of the time. One of the best keyboards I've used. It's just so fast and accurate.

hacker's keyboard for me the best!!
Samsung keyboard memorize your frequently used sentence even. You enter the first word and it will keep predicted the entire sentence. Love the default one with continues input
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
The default keyboard is the best IMHO. Every other keyboard, irrespective of its benefits, leaves out the benefits of Note 2: lacking in s-pen support etc.
The only irritation with the default keyboard is that there is no autocorrect. I have to manually choose the correct word from the list and it doesn't autopick the selected words when space is pressed.
For me samsung the best.
Anyone find a way to enable Swift Key or Swype tablet modes? One of the best options on the default keyboard is that it has one-handed control. Swype and swift key have this mode as well but only for tablets. I miss easily swyping symbols. Perhaps the only way is to root and change the DPI?

I am now using the Kii Keyboard and loving it. Very fast and accurate typing with lots of options to customize.
I prefer stock JB 4.2 Keyboard. I canys stand stock overcrowded/cluttered keyboards.

I prefer gn2 default stock keyboard.. I write a lot in Serbian, and i can use swype then.. When im writing on english i use handwriting or prediction.
The numbers above keyboard are Major ability why i choose stock keyboard

I have been using SwiftKey since it first came out. Would try others but always came back to SwiftKey. For typing or swype, I just am not getting comfortable with the stock keyboard but would hate to lose the s-pen button. I will be a very happy camper if SwiftKey adds support for the s-pen.

SwiftKey 3 for me, since I type both English and German text, and the keyboard recognizes (and makes suggestions for) both languages at the same time.
Been using SwiftKey 3 tablet version for a while now.
Have to say it's the best I've ever used.
And it works very nicely with my 240 dpi mode.
Also nice keyboard when in landscape mode
I alternate keyboards randomly!

Swype is the reason for me to stick with Android, but their latest beta is ****ed up with dictionary issues, so I tried latest SwiftKey Flow Beta, and it has some issues as well, so for now it's Samsung's default keyboard with continuous input. But I'm keenly waiting for the next beta of Swype, which is coming shortly as per their mod.

Noticed a problem with the stock keyboard. Many times if I go to click one of the suggested words on top it puts a totally different word in the text field, usually the word isn't even one that was on the list.
Anyone else notice this?

I love the keyboard with the numbers always being on top, makes it so convenient and its just my favorite but. I don't see an option to let you backspace to erase the whole word with once click if you change your mind or just put the wrong word up, I can't stand having to hold the backspace all the way through it. So I'm using Swiftkey for now which is an awesome keyboard but doesn't have that dedicated number pad along the top but actually has many features that I don't care about and tons of themes too. I hope someone tells me that backspace setting is under my nose so I can use the LG one hehe. :silly:

Yeah I love the top row as well, and it generally does a good job but does get stupid some times. I usually use the Google keyboard or Swype but have liked the lg one for now, just giving it a chance.

Did you ever find a solution to this? It's maddening. I tap the word I want and some completely random word that wasn't even close to what I tapped (and wasn't in the list of suggestions) shows up in the text box. I have searched and searched and you are the first person I've found who has had the same issue. I love everything else about the keyboard so I'd rather not switch to a different one!
Come on peeps, #1 app in the play store for months now. SwiftKey is the best keyboard out there. Stock is a bad keyboard.

Couldn't agree more. I've been using it since the original beta. I have tried other keyboards on and off, just to see what they offer, and always go back to SwiftKey.

If you are the person who is a tap to type and swipes occasionally, then Swift Key hands down or TouchPal X which has been recently updated and is now a contender
If you prefer to swype and have the most forgiving swype experience, then I would go swype & dragon all the way.
FYI.... I've bought them all and tried all them. Ultra Keyboard, Swype, Swiftkey, Kii Keyboard, TouchPal, SlideIt, google keyboard, Etc.
Good luck
Just wish swift key had a dedicated number row.
Touchpal FTW
sent from state where marijuana is NOT illegal ! now Free
tried all, for swiping, swype reigns
I never tap to text anymore and have been using the swipe method for texting and typing on my smartphone for sometime now, and I have tried all the major and most minor keyboards out there including buying the paid version of several. After testing and comparing them all, and still doing so, my opinion is swype is still the best keyboard for swipers. it intergrates everything better and just works. It's by far the most accurate and easy to edit if it does get it wrong. Though the others are good keyboards, for me, I always lose functionality when I don't use swype.
I keep trying the others though.
Currently using Google keyboard, free and it works well, will try swype keyboard and a couple of others..
I personally prefer Swype, I like the way you can copy and paste with just gestures. Swiftkey is not bad I suppose, however it does not support Chinese input which I use on a daily basis.

Stock Google one or swiftkey are the ones I fall back to
I have to say the Google Keyboard is my favourite.
I used to use Swype back in the day, but when Google brought out their swipe keyboard, I found it much more friendly. I recently tried the Swiftkey swipe keyboard, which I like to some degree, but the one drawback is when it incorrectly guesses the word you swiped, you have to hit the backspace, then it only gives you 3 options, none of which ever seem to be the correct word. I prefer the feature of the Google keyboard where you can long press on the central word it suggests and then it gives you a grid of like 20 words it thinks you typed. That is the best feature for me.
I really like the stock Google keyboard.
TouchPal X is the best no doubt.

Which one do you prefer and why? Samsung really picked up their game with the keyboard on the Note 3 and I like some things about the Samsung Keyboard better and some of Swiftkey. I usually lean towards using swiftkey cuz I paid for it lol.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Swiftkey because I can reduce it. The smallest size swiftkey is fine on the large Note screen. The Samsung keyboard takes up way too much screen space.
Both have good swiping and text prediction.

I prefer SwiftKey.
Pros:
- Can type exclamation/interrogation points very very fast with a finger swipe. What a big big mistake Samsung did here. I have used SwifKey in other phones and love it, but i actually liked the stock keyboard but i couldn't stand to long press every single time i wanted to type a exclamation point!
- Flow is faster compared to Swipe on Samsung keyboard. It "hangs" for a second, when swiping multiple words, before it puts the works on the text box.
- Resizable
- Themes
Cons:
- Hate how slow delete is compared to Samsung keyboard.
Can't comment on the prediction accuracy on stock keyboard, but in Swiftkey is very good.
I'm probably forgetting something, but this is pretty much it.
Lack of number row and emoticons killed it for me. Heard it was coming in an update soon, but til then I'm sticking to stock

I prefer A.I Keyboard , it's the best
Definitely Swiftkey Keyboard.
Why I chose Swiftkey over Samsung keyboard
- Highly accurate predictions so I can type really rapidly on the keyboard (I love this the best)
- Eye-candy themes to choose from
Now that Swiftkey Beta 4.5 has came out with Emojis and added a dedicated number row, all the more I'm leaning towards Swiftkey.
ABSOLUTLY swiftkey is the best from all market place
what about google keyboard?
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
The new SwiftKey keyboard has the number row and you can put the direction keys at the bottom. It is the best.
The one thing that isn't good about the SwiftKey beta is that when the number row is active, the popup numbers ought to hide themselves in the top row of the keyboard, but they don't. It's very distracting. I was going to post it as a feature request, but I found that others had mentioned it as well, so all I could do was just agree that it should be changed.
What do you guys think about it? I loved it and I was using swiftkey on 4,2 now im using just the default one but most of the time ending up pressing "b" or "v" instade of the "space bar"

I was using the T9 (12 digit keypad) for texting up until just now when I changed it to qwerty keyboard - tried to change back under keyboard settings, only to find the T9 option wasn't there anymore?
What can I do? It's driving me nuts, I can't type using qwerty properly
That keyboard is actually using SwiftKey technology under the hood. Sony added a new skin and some different options a customizations and repacked it as Xperia keyboard. So what you are using is SwiftKey "by Sony", Samsung also did that with the S4 and Note 3. It is great because we have the greatest keyboard on the market out of the box.

I don't get it though because I had the T9 previously before the update, & after the update it was still there. I managed to untick the options several times until now, & the option to use T9 was gone. I really don't like the small keys (& I have extremely small fingers!) - is there a way to get the T9 back or is this a bug from Sony?
EDIT: Ok another weird thing is that I managed to kinda fix my problem. I CAN use T9 but not under the international keyboard (default one), but under the Chinese keyboard instead? I guess I'll have to stick with that for now.. But before the option was DEFINITELY availble under the international/default one. No idea what has happened =/

Because it uses SwiftKey's word prediction technology which is one of the best out there. If you ever used SwiftKey (which is a paid app) you could see how great it is.
By the way, is there a way to add other languages than English to this keyboard? I like the T9 more than full keyboard.

Yes read my post, swipe down from the top bar & choose a different one than xperia default. I can't find any other ways to get the T9 back on the default one so the chinese 1 will have to do for now.
I might give it a go again. I like it visually better than the google one I use, but ever since the google one came out I've found it incredible, especially how well the predictions work. I found the Sony one was just horrible when the phone came out, it would miss so many words that were just one adjacent letter out. The google one I find flawless, and on top of that, the second word prediction is just incredible.
It is a big improvement but is missing one great feature from Swift Key. I like to be able to shorten the length of time to hold down a key to use its secondary input.
