Best Keyboard for the Rezound?

[Simon_y7]

What keyboard, including stock, doesn't pop up suggestions? Am I not getting something here about predictive text? I'm using GO Keyboard and only because, while texting, the SEND button doesn't disappear when the phone is turned into landscape. I couldn't get the same with Swiftkey.

i've tried a lot of keyboards - every one listed here and wanted to add in my new favorite - ice cream sandwich keyboard.

So far I like the SwiftKey X keyboard best.

Apps like swiftkey have predictive text that predict based on the words you use rather than choosing the closest word from the dictionary. So if you use the phrase "I like to eat Jello" a lot, as you type "je" you're more than likely to see "Jello" pop up as the predictive text.

I installed Swiftkeyx last night under the impression that it was a nicer version of swype..nopers! The keyboard seems very laggy though also provides sailor vocabulary without training it...thats nice.

Crossing my fingas and hoping a nice version of swype comes out soon!O

I don't know how you feel about paying for a keyboard but I think FlexT9 is way better than swype. I probably would have never tried it if Amazon hadn't offered it free as an app of the day.
It's been so long since I used swype I don't remember what all it does, but the one big thing I like about FlexT9 is double tap spacebar for period. Since it takes swype type input I type almost exclusively with one finger, so not having to look for the period is just so convenient.

You can see more here.

Still loving Swype, once you get used to it, it's blazing fast...

Swiftkey X is great - to each his own - find one you like - most are try before you buy. I haven't tried any others because Swiftkey has been great and definitely not laggy (I'm on an Inc 2).

I've been using Swiftkey X for a few weeks now (thank you 10 cent Market sale) and it tailors itself to your vocabulary pretty well. I hit the 10,000 strokes recorded milestone the other day, even.
Eventually, when you start to type out a certain sentence or phrase regularly, you only have to type in the first word, and the suggestion box will fill pop up with the next word, so I only end up tapping the suggestion 4 or 5 times and finish out the whole sentence. Pretty cool.
Sometimes though, it gets stuck in a conversation with itself. I kept tapping the suggestion to see where it went, and it turned into "when are we going to the to the to the to the..."

sailor vocabulary

Why do you have to throw out stereotypes like that?

I float btwn SwiftKeyx and stock. Neither of these are laggy! The first releases definitely were though. I find that the 'dark theme' is the most responsive. I love the fact that I can shorten the long press duration. The numbers are also lined up dialer style which is the best! I still miss the spacebar quite a bit and hope they add a 'space btwn words' algorithm in a future update.

SwiftKey X is easily my favorite. I've used swype (still do on my Tablet), SlideIT keyboard, Gingerbread keyboards, stock keyboards, and some others. I always come back to SwiftKey X.

Swift Keyboard X - I got it for $0.10 during the Christmas promo but it's worth the actual price.
Gingerbread Keyboard - if you want free

I agree, the suggestions are uncanny, some common phrases or even sentences, the SwiftKey keyboard can guess with just the first word like you said. The layout of the keyboard isn't as good as some others, imo though. I am very happy with it overall, and glad that I got it when it was free.

I know what you mean. I hate how the settings key is next to the comma and I end up opening a menu in the middle of a sentence, or how the smiley face key borders the question mark and questions turn out like "Dude where are you" when you're in a rush.
Aside from that, it's awesome. When I text my girlfriend with "when am I gonna get that ____" it auto-suggests "booty."

I don't like the keyboard in vertical mode as much as the stock keyboard. I think that the layout of the keys is better on stock. In horizontal mode, this isn't really an issue. The placement of the settings and smiley keys are a bit annoying too, but I am more annoyed by the layout in vertical mode. Still, the accuracy of the predictions makes it well worth it.

Hmm maybe my swiftkey is lagging being I'm on the free trial version...I love swype but for some reason the version I installed last week works poorly on the rezound...doesnt complete words and makes its own up...kinda weird. Theres a forum all about it somewheres...sure a fix will come out shortly.

I'll hafta give the gingerbread keyboard a shot, I was using the ICS keyboard before and it wasnt so bad though that seemed SLIGHTLY laggy as well.
