Swype (*Official)

How do you install it?

Can't talk about that aspect of the software as it's not available at this time. I hope the droid does get a consumer version of it or maybe even a *gasp* ota update to include it (Wet dream).

I'm amazed when I go fast just how accurate it is at picking up words

some of them I'm not even close to doing properly, but it guesses right

Agreed...simply amazing!

I, too, hope this is released as a legit app. I'm just hoping that the fact that this is included on the omnia 2 won't hold up the app release.

I have emailed swype directly and asked about a general release and will let you know if I get an answer.

Is swype like shape writer?

They're very similar concepts, except Swype is more accurate in estimating what you mean if you're being sloppy.

its way better than shape writer.

 

[largeselection]

Agreed. Tried shapewriter for a bit and had to uninstall it because it was much less accurate. Swype is fast becoming my go to.

I'm getting way better at using Swype. There are a few things I wish it had, like auto space after periods, and better auto-capitalization, but it makes manually doing those things so easy that a lot of the time I don't really mind. I'm almost using Swype more than my physical keyboard now.

 

[Nechasin]

if you swype from the "." to spacebar it does do the space after the period. Also if swype from the m key to spacebar it will put a "?" and a space. If you swype from the z key to spacebar it will put a "!" and a space.

 

[Harvey Wallbanger]

Yeah Swype is a godsend. I love the way it "interprets" my sloppy swiping into correct words. Almost spooky how good it is at that. Really lets you zip along.

 

[TaeKwonDonkey]

Is this like the typing thing on the omnia 2?

 

[largeselection]

yes it is.

From what I was reading on the swype forum verizon has to purchase a license for its phones to use swype. It looks intresting and I would love to give it a try.

How can I try swype for android?

A friendly reminder:

Swype has already stated that this application is ONLY available through carrier channels. Therefore, do not ask where to obtain copies of this software, or create posts offering up information on where to get it illegally. I have deleted several of these posts today and will continue to do so.

Thanks,

I'm gonna have to disagree with the majority here and say Swype isn't all that. I mean its cool and intuitive but for me its just wayyyyy too slow. For those that say they can type faster on the swype keyboard than on the stock one...good on ya...cause I was slow as hell. And I bang out texts with the stock virtual keyboard, landscape or portrait.
