Does this beta app expire or is swype for life and not just for xmas? Sorry for that.... Only thing I am missing is the smiley's from the stock keyboard, but this is a rapid input method. A good quality car wax helps screen swiping. Anybody dislike it?

swpe is way better than the stock keyboard from the x10
sadly the only prob I see is the fact of not being able to select easier a letter to delete it
I love swype but it is not as great on the X10's rudimentary touchscreen.

Well the clearpad 2000 (?) just isn't very good. It often loses track of your finger which results in far more errors than you would otherwise have on a more potent digitizer.

It's not a clearpad - it's a Cypress panel.
How do you use the microphone icon in Swype? Should I be able to press it then just speak?

I've been searching for ages for a better keyboard on my Galaxy tab. Tried them all and remembered my favourite one years ago on winmo. TouchPal,its great and free. It cannot be beaten for the fastest correcting text input,just wanted to share this as I'm very happy to be using it again..

I guess when it comes down to it, you can't beat free , but i'm very satisfied with Smart Keyboard Pro. My favourite.
i like thumb keyboard wrks great on my tab
Smart Keyboard's not bad, but personally, I think Swiftkey's new Tablet Keyboard (although pricey) is amazing. Comfortable to use, good-looking and the prediction engine is amazing.

I tried thumb keyboard and swift keyboard but they don't seem to correct my bad typing quite so well as TouchPal when I write as fast as possible and I think it was swift keyboard, seemed to lose the word prediction when typing in stock email.

You guys should try the 2.3 Gingerbread keyboard. Liking it a lot.

Just started using Thumb keyboard this morning and it feels very comfortable especially when typing in landscape. Your hands need not adjust since letters are positioned in left and right side while the numbers are at the middle.

I also use the stock keyboard from Gingerbread, it has everything I need except in connectbot. i have to learn using vi instead of nano in order to stay on the stock keyboard. And is quite painful for every typo in mysql
Im not sure if this topic has been discussed here but wanted to mention it anyway.
I was amazed at how fast I was typing on the stock Samsung keyboard. The only thing I didnt really like was the settings key being on the layout. There were times that I was accidentaly pressing it which would disrupt what I was typing.
I consider myself as an Android newbie and didn't know there were alternative keyboards out there.
So I went ahead and tried Perfect Keyboard and wow, let me just tell you that I am typing with so much more accuracy and speed. I went ahead and purchased the full version.
I dont work for them or anything but I really recommend the app.

I personally prefer the Swype keyboard. I feel like its much faster than any typing keyboard.

I like Swype. Swyping is relaxed typing compared to playing arcade game with others.
I agree Swype also can make me hold the phone with one hand more lol

Can't stand Swype. I like thumb keyboard with the WP7 theme and sounds. Use standard layout. I've tried them all always return to thumb keyboard. Highly recommend.

Gave it a two week trial. Couldn't forgive the lag when initially typing. Drove me up the wall waiting on it to catch up. Other than the lag it was decent but still loses to thumb keyboard IMO.

I own Swift Key X and if you type slow the predictions are neat but it sucks when trying to type fast. Very inaccurate even with the fast typing setting.

What I miss from Swype keyboard is the ability that Samsung one has to detect you are using the pen and switch to handwriting. Swype + hand writing when using the pen, that's what I want
I really like the swiftkey x predictions but the spacebar is too narrow and I keep hitting the period. I love the split 5 inch mode of thumb keyboard - much more comfortable for me.
side note - when handing your phone to others, its best to use a non predicting keyboard as it can really throw them off.

Ics keyboard for me with aggressive mode.
Its really easy to type and corrects any miss presses.
Its available from the market for free.

I gave Swift Key a try as well. It seemed like it detected my Note as a tablet as an error prompt of some sort appeared when I initially ran it.
"Wrong version, this is a tablet. Please download the correct version" or something likr that. Worked fine but still ended up with Perfect Keyboard. Ü

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 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.
Sent from my GT-N7100
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.
Sent from my SM-N900 using xda app-developers app
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 like swiftkey but cant figure out how to remove predictive row. I dont like using predictive but being able to resize and make it smaller is an excellent feature. I prefee using less screen real estate for the keyboard so being able to remove predictive suggestions would be good

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.
