Best Looking Sliding Keyboard?

[Sprintguy1376]

So at first, I REALLY liked this keyboard.. but as I kept using it.. the sliding is just awful. It doesn't process the words I want to type accurately at all. Probably HALF the time, trying to slide "was" ends up as "ees." I really don't like tap typing.

My question is, what's a better sliding keyboard that LOOKS good? The HTC keyboard is really nice to look at, and I want a sliding keyboard that at least looks good while I use it. Swype works really well, but it's also pretty ugly. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Check out Swiftkey 3. I know you can theme it some so one of them may fit your fancy.

Swiftkey......you can swype or type on the new one and it has lots of themes, and you can control button size

Yeah I just downloaded the swiftkey trial, and the text prediction/slide typing is leaps and bounds better than the stock HTC One. All the skins just seem over the top, not really into the look of it. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and say bye to eye candy.

Personally I prefer swype always have not really a fan of text prediction so that's no biggie for me. It setting can be change to improve accuracy based on your use but i've been fin with the default. Also there are themes for it under personalization settings.

Swype just released their keyboard on the play store (out of beta) and it is on sale for 99 cents. SwiftKey is great for typing up an email but the swiping function, to me, isn't as good as it is with Swype.

Did you use it for a while? It needs to learn from use....

I use SwiftKey daily now. The prediction is great. I just think the swiping function isn't as fluid as Swype's. In totality, I think SwiftKey is the best. I can quickly type up lengthy email responses and swipe a quick text with one hand while walking. However, if I was just looking for the best swiping keyboard, which I think the OP was aiming for, Swype's offering yielded better results for me.

I could not agree more with what's being said here.

I have both on my tab right now but prefer swiftkey. Mainly because I mostly type lengthy emails or post on forums like these. Swiftkey works best in such cases. I am going to give Swype a bit more time before I decide on deleting the other. At 99c you can't go wrong though.
