I just installed Swype and am using it for the first time. I am so impressed that I needed to make a post about it.
The thing is freaking amazing. Seriously good.
Anyone else using it at the mo?
Yep... It's installed out of the box on galaxy s series handsets, but I love it and can barely use a standard keypad anymore so I got the beta for my cm installation..

Used to use it on my Galaxy S but not a fan tbh, tried it on my play and still MUCH prefer Swiftkey X, Swiftkey X is easily the best Keyboard for Android
I don't see it in the market. I see SMS to swipe, Word Swide and Gem Swype.
is it any of these?
Nope, it's a program on public beta. It's preloaded in the Samsung Android phones. Here you can download it: http://swypeinc.com/ After downloading the installer you just have to follow the steps it tells you.
It's mighty awesome, enough that Sony is including a Swype-lookalike (T9) in the 2.3.4 update in October. You can find similar keyboards in the market like SlideIT keyboard.

Select Beta and follow instructions.
It is a pain in the arse to download, but trust me, well worth it.
Thanks Guys
I will do that tonight. I'll try the internal PSX emu also.
Not enough hours in a day when you have kids.

Try touch pal beta ,it is combination of swype and swiftkey I.e swype prediction.....no need to swype complete word...still in beta has lot of potential

I am now of the opinion that all swipe-like keyboards are vastly superior by default after using Swype. The difference is as large as texting on the old numeric keypads versus typing on a qwerty keyboard.
Absolutely no way could I go back to a bog standard qwerty touchscreen keypad with no swipe feature !

Tried beta 1, then switched to swype and stayed with swype.
no idea why but it sometimes lags and the words aren't really accurate either.. adding a new word to the user dictionary is a PITA..
Swift key x, ftw
I was using swype but my beta version got over after a month :/

I just want to know is there any keyboard which is better than Swype in matter of recognition and word deletion/correction?
ICS keyboard is the best one I've seen so far for android, as I'm a really fast typer coming from IOS (vest keyboard over all), I installed ICS keyboard from the play store and set the auto correct to aggressive so as I type every few words my eyes just look to the screen to see if the keyboard auto correct wrong any words then I correct it manually or just continue talking.
PS. ALWAYS READ WHAT YOU TYPE BEFORE HITTING THAT ENTER BUTTON, BECAUSE WHEN YOU DON'T, WE GOT SITES LIKE DAMNYOUAUTOCORRECT.COM.

Swiftkey 3 has the best word prediction and correction that I've seen.
But the current Swype beta is close to it.
Both will get better the longer you use them
I can enter in text faster using Swype beta than Swiftkey.
Even faster again if I use the S Pen.

Swift key is one of the best in terms of prediction. But sometimes I find it a bit laggy.
I'd liked Swift Key 3 but it does not support swyping input on keyboard guys.
I liked the way it recognizes and corrects words.
I used to love Ultra Keyboard...but it doesn't work properly now on ICS....gets force closes...
I prefer Swiftkey 3. My flatmate prefers swype.
Pretty much everyone I know uses either swiftkey or swype.
new swype beta also has word prediction.
I have found that the standard ICS keyboard is best primarily, in addition to it being very accurate, It allows for speech recognition where you do not have to speak all at once- you can take breaks between words without any problem, whereas swype does not. Be sure to enble personalized recognition in settings as it does not do this manually. IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE AND I DONT EVEN HAVE A WEIRD ACCENT.

After so much suggestions towards "Swift Key 3", I am on it now.
I'll try to get used to it.
But I am now really fast with "Swype".
Don't know which to use for a long time yet.
Any idea why it doesn't even work with an international ROM?
Still doesn't automatically autocorrect for me.
EDIT: Oops this was supposed to be in Q&A sorry.
It doesn't auto correct period. Download smart keyboard pro or root and flash Xperia keyboard which has the best auto correct ever.

I was going to install it but it has to be flashed and I don't have custom recovery installed yet.
I didn't read up on it so I'm not sure if its 100% compatible with the sg4 bit it is under general android forum.

I agree. But hey to each his own right.
The Samsung keyboard, even though it's a version of SwiftKey, is crippled without autocorrect so I just use the normal SwiftKey which is amazingly awesome. I thought I really wanted the always-there number row on the Samsung keyboard, but adjusting the key hold duration to ~200ms on SwiftKey makes inserting numbers nearly as good while taking up less screen space.

There is a guy in the VZW section who got the international S4 keyboard working with autocorrect. But the autocorrect lags.

That is a great suggestion for the SwiftKey keyboard. I have multiple keyboards loaded and find myself constantly switching back and forth. Different KBs have their pros and cons. I like the number key on the Samsung KB, but missing AC is not so nice.
Reducing the key hold duration per your suggestion makes SwiftKey much more usable for me. It's now back to my default KB.
Heh. The KBs I have on my GS4 are:
A.I. type KB free
AnySoftKB
Kii KB
MessageEase KB (never really got into this one)
Swype
Samsung (OEM)
Google voice (OEM)
TouchPal KB
SwiftKey KB

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.

Googly keyboard isn't cutting it for me. Does anyone know of any better keyboards? Is there a port for the Samsung keyboard?
I use SwiftKey
Swiftkey lags a bit and predict service not great. Google is the fastest for me. Samsung keyboard is worse than swift.
I'm considering a change to Swiftkey but does it support international languages?

You may want to try Swype if you like swiping, if you don't and are only interested in typing Flesky is fairly good. Having said that I always end up back using the Google keyboard after trying out any of the alternatives after a few days...
I too always end up back at Google keyboard. Tried majority of them. Swiftkey is OK but for some reason I always end up back to Google

No, Swype is better than the Google KB.
Swype allows keyboard shortcuts for copying pasting and changing case. Thus I prefer it over any other.
