Description

SwiftKey – the best-selling keyboard on Android
#1 selling app in 38 countries, over 70,000 ✮✮✮✮✮ reviews
Winner of Webby Award & Global Mobile Award for Innovation
A Fast Company Top 10 Most Innovative Mobile Business
The only true multi-lingual keyboard - type in up to three languages simultaneously

“Shockingly accurate, making for a creepy-fast typing experience.” - TIME Magazine
“I can’t recommend SwiftKey highly enough.” - CNET

SwiftKey replaces the touchscreen keyboard on your phone with one that understands how words work together, giving the world’s most accurate autocorrect - and predicting your next word before you press a key.

The keyboard learns as you use it to make corrections and predictions based on the way that you write. It can learn from your Gmail, Facebook, Twitter or blog to make its insights even more personalized. You can also enable up to three languages simultaneously, for true multi-lingual typing.

Switch seamlessly between tapping and gesture typing with our new SwiftKey Flow feature. It combines the mind-reading capabilities of SwiftKey with the speed of gliding your fingers across the screen. With ‘Flow Through Space’, you can also enter entire phrases without lifting your finger from the screen, simply by sliding to the space bar between words.

I've only been using it for a little while switching from ultra keyboard but already I can say the word suggestions for gestures are much more accurate and logical. So far I've written this entire paragraph without editing, whereas ultra keyboard I would have to edit almost every word when using gestures.

By far the best keyboard. I've used Smart Keyboard Pro, TouchPal Keyboard V5, Hacker's Keyboard, but I find SwiftKey to be my favourite.

Why, why, why is there not an option to have enter instead of the stupid smiley button when typing a text message? Stupid as nothing else. That really drags this down from five to one star.

Lags bad I had high hopes for this but to be honest the lag was so bad that I almost thought it was Android. I have 7 Android devices and the lag on this is so bad across all devices and its really the only common denominator. I worry about people who install this and think Android sucks. This app has features but they are not consistent across platforms. The arrows are awesome on the phone but absent on the tab.

WOW!!!! I decided to come back and change my rating, awesome wasn't enough. I do have a complaint though.... Why the hell can't I add more stars?!?!. This app have saved me so much time typing. Once the app gets to know your language all you have to do is type the first few letters and your word will appear. This is by far the best keyboard ever and we'll worth the money. Spell check is great too. Thank you and my hat goes off to you all!!!!

The only app I paid for Unless we nuke ourselves before, this will be the only text interface protocol in 50 years, of course we'll get rid of screens and keyboards and sign/write in space, with our nose, or one finger, one elbow, whatever tip is available in daily life... absolutely intuitive for 3 year olds, it's more than intuitive, it's natural, it shares an essential affinity with the alphabet.

Summary

Android comes with a virtual keyboard which can sometime seem like it has a mind of its own—there’s definitely room for improvement there, which is just what the SwiftKey X Keyboard people must’ve thought to themselves. What they came up with is a virtual keyboard the can predict words and even full sentences, and it keeps getting better the longer you use it. Sounds like a dream! Is it?

Well, honestly, Swiftkey X isn’t too bad at all, especially since the update. And that’s a massive understatement, BTW.

Features & Use

Section rating:

Test device: LG Optimus Speed / 2x
Android version: 2.3.5
Mods: MIUI

I’ve tested many keyboards but, truth be told, none have really struck a chord with me. So my expectations weren’t soaring when I decided to try out SwiftKey X Keyboard, but I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised.

In a nutshell: SwiftKey X susses out your style of writing and enables you to write entire sentences merely by hitting the space bar. Amaze-balls!

After you install the keyboard an assistant guides you through the primary setup. Up to three dictionaries (in three different languages, obviously) can be downloaded and stay active simultaneously. In my experience the system does a brilliant job at recognising which language I was writing in (I would say it is 99% accurate).

There are standard language packages, as well as personalised ones which SwiftKey X puts together using data from Facebook, GMail, Twitter and SMS you’ve sent out. This means that SwiftKey starts ‘learning’ your personal language/i.e. style from the get-go. Transferring data from said external sources to SwiftKey worked like a charm, and the app keeps getting better and better the more you use it and the more it becomes knowledgeable of your way of writing.
The assistant even asks you to evaluate your own typing skills, that is it want to know how precisely you can type, in order to optimise the suggestions.

I’ve been using the app for several weeks now and feel it’s safe to say that it’s a great tool and time saver. I checked SwiftKey’s statistics and am told that my writing efficiency has gone up by 30% . I also didn’t have to type in thousands of characters.
You can also check out statistics – such as how many words SwiftKey X has already predicted – in this menu.
There’s an option for sharing said statistics via Twitter, Facebook, Google+, E-mail and more—though, to be honest, I don’t quite see the point of this… Unless you want to show off to your iPhone user friends, that is! ;-p

The Heatmap function is also pretty nifty—it displays a visual of where the keyboard can be found most frequently.

Long press on ‘123’ and a separate keyboards only for smilies, symbols and arrow buttons opens up. This is especially useful for navigating through texts on devices that don’t have a trackball.
You can also choose to have the arrows displayed near the bottom of the display permanently.

You can also alter the appearance of the keyboard using the ‘Theme and layout’ options. There are three themes to choose from: light, dark and a blue neon one. I like all three.
The keyboard can also be changed from QWERTY to QWERTZ.

Check out the 'Advanced' section of the settings to see how you can make changes that will optimise SwiftKey X even more to suit your personal preferences. For instance, you can determine what hitting the spacebar should enable—a blank space, the completion of a word or the insertion of the next prediction.
SwiftKey X can determine upper/lower case for you, or you can choose to do so on your own.

Another cool new function: you can now long press on a button in order to see alternatives – e.g. the @ symbol – a popup appears displaying all of the options. You can make your selection by swiping.

Bottom line:
SwiftKey X Keyboard can help save a lot of time, period. The app can complete whole sentences for you, and even knows which smiley is context-appropriate. I love that the app supports three languages as once, and I really wouldn’t want to have to make do without this app after seeing what a difference it can make.

Screen & Controls

Section rating:

SwiftKey X Keyboard is easy and intuitive to use. The setup assitant is especially useful. We’re knocking one star off because the settings are in English only.

Speed & Stability

Section rating:

SwiftKey X Keyboard runs absolutely smoothly. Pristine and stabile performance.

Price/Performance Ratio

Section rating:

SwiftKey X Keyboard is available in the App Center and usually costs 2,99€, but seeing as it is our App of the Week you can now download it for only 1,99€!
