Best replacement keyboard

[lvluffinz]

I actually think Swype is the better keyboard. It's so dang easy to use!

I used Swype forever going back to my Nexus One and TBolt. I've tried to like the stock S3 keyboard, but it's a lot "dumber" than Swype.. I'll probably install that or try swiftkey.

Swype of course. I can't go back to normal typing.

Big +1 for swiftkey

Swype.

After looking at all these swiftkey votes, I might actually go try it.

I just wish SwiftKey had a split keyboard mode for landscape

Swiftkey is great...but I just can't leave Swype. In a perfect world, Swiftkey and Swype would hookup and produce a keyboard with the great features and predictions of swiftkey, with Swype ability built in.

At first I was bit clunky on swype and didn't really like it, but after a while I got used to it and now really fly. I don't know if it's because it learns my typing style or I've just become better at using it, but many common words are essentially just memorized gestures...and while not nearly as good with predictive text as swiftkey, it does learn your commonly used words to keep typing mistakes at a minimum after a while.

Pretty much anyone here will vote for one or the other, which ever one is "better" really depends on your personal preference. Both take some getting used to as far as being able to type quickly, but once you've become accustomed to using either style, you'll probably have a problem going back to anything else.

I think it's all about depending on the predictions in SwiftKey, or knowing what you want and just tracing it in Swype. It's been proven that tracing is much faster than typing, so typing only wins if you use prediction. I am too used to the little Swype shortcuts. Actually more and more I've started using voice recognition for the actual text.

I'm a Swyper...but I don't think you can go wrong with either Swype or swift key

I'm currently using Swype it the way I'm rolling right now,,,,, I havent used swiftkey in 4 ever although I had purchased it way back then ,ha

Since the Swype beta is free and Swiftkey has a lengthy free trial, try them both and see which one is better for you. Personally, I primarily use Swiftkey but sometimes switch to Swype for certain applications.

Have tried an awful lot of keyboards, but I like SwiftKey the best!

 

[lvluffinz]

Honestly though, get Swype. It's free and works amazing! What more can ya want?

I love Swiftkey, but I can't stand the fact that every time that I place a period at the end of my sentence it thinks that I want to start the next sentence with "I"or even if don't want anything there, it places an "I" there... Annoys me to no end.

I cannot get used to the swiping type of keyboards. I love THUMB KEYBOARD. It works perfectly on my phone and tablet. fully customizable. Best keyboard I ever tried.
