Swiftkey betas


Recommended Posts

Not sure if anyone else uses swiftkey. I didn't know much about it until it went on sale for $0.10 during the 10 day Android Market sale a while ago. I really like it on my phone, and it is even better for tablets.

 

There is a beta that is free for tablets and phones available here http://vip.swiftkey.net/index.php?/forum/89-swiftkey-betas/ all you have to do is sign up for a membership to their forums. It was just updated. Just figured I would spread the word.

is the $.10 still available?

 

I don't think so. It is usually one of the apps that are discounted when Google runs a promotion though.

This app is worth it at the regular price, I don't care for the tablet version too much but the one for smartphones is the best keyboard available in my opinion.

Agree... I bought SwiftKey X when Google ran its ten cents app giveaway.

 

I've ran every top keyboard and once you let it learn your history, best keyboard I've used.

 

Will be using on my evo lte if it's ever released...

I got SwiftKey X when Amazon featured it as their free app for the day. I like that keyboard setup.

How is swiftkey these days? I used it on my EVO and Transformer, but the prediction was terrible for me so I want back to Swype.

 

How does anyone feel it compares with Swype currently?

Well, I haven't been able to install swype since I got the nexus, but I liked swift key so much better on my e4gt that I didn't care about swype.

Swiftkey is working just great for me. I downloaded the latest beta a few weeks ago and I must say, its even more awesome than ever before.

Swiftkey X here and it works pretty well for me. The prediction works great for me. The delay when using long press for alternate character selection is a little long for my taste but overall I really like it.

 

 

I've saved 10,440 kestrokes thanks to Swiftkey X ! :tu:tzFGT.jpg

The new beta lets you change the long press time is settings.

Well, now I guess I have to buy the phone and tablet versions... Or wait until the next big sale on play

 

Edit: I guess if you bought Swiftkey X, your purchase transfers to Swiftkey 3. Nice

Yes, I know this is a old thread but I just wanted give it a bump to say that there is a new update to swiftkey that came out today. It now has the one feature I been craving for the longest which is the ics/jellybean voice to text "dictation" which was only available on the stock keyboard.

Kinda like the Google Now voice to text?

Cool I didn't know the license transferred... I totally forgot that I bought this on amazon when Google and amazon were doing their ten cent app sale. I bought it on a amazon so I could have it on multiple phones and devices without putting in my Google id... This thing actually works very good compared to the HTC keyboard. Love it.

I've been using Swiftkey for over a year now. It only gets better as it continues to learn how you type.

I tried it before but it just didn't work too well or maybe it was because I was new to the on screen keyboard thing. I have only typed about three messages but this thing is cool. Definitely have to backup this thing if I do a wipe... I like how you can make the keyboard taller... Works good for those with big thumbs...

I was fortunate enough to get Swiftkey for free when Amazon had it as a Free App of the Day offer sometime roughly a year ago. Even on a qwerty phone, the word prediction and multiple source learning functionality that backs the former up makes things that much faster. Highly recommend it.

I got it when it was the free app too from Amazon. However, I didn't really use it much. Now I am so used to swype.

I also got the Swiftkey for free on Amazon when they actually gave away decent apps. I love it now and couldn't do without it due to how well it handles my typing. The Swype stuff is just too much movement and slows things down since you can't type with two fingers.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
