S3 - Swiftkey Flow Beta

[Srambo217]

Not bad. Wish it worked within Google apps like the Play Store and Play Music. Also the 'swipe to space bar to continue a sentrance' feature seem like it's only good for a few words at a time.

I love it! The only criticism I have is some of the slang words it doesn't pick up, but it still does pick up more of them than I imagined!

Two problems i dont like the spacing or the fact that it doesn't work in every app. Or every situation

 

[Kevin Harvell]

I'm thinking you'll want to keep both installed. When it is out of beta, it will hopefully just update that version to SwiftKey 4 (which is essentially what this is).

But they may change the app name in the Google Play Store.

It looks 'good'. Albeit I've never been a 'swype' type user, and I have always wondered if in time using things like will it make one lazy to type?

Anyway, like a few others, I like 'two thumb typing'

Looks good so far, a mix of Swype and Swiftkey in one.

I love it so far. Best of both worlds of swype and SwiftKey.

Ditto here. Just downloaded it. I've only had the S3 two weeks and wasn't thrilled with the Samsung keyboard. I've been using a Swype-like keyboard on my rooted/ROM'd LG Optimus S and I missed the "microphone" key. This one has it!

I tried Swiftkey 3 last week since so many people swear by it, but I'm just so conditioned to "swyping" my text.

We'll see how it goes...

PM me.


Edit: Go here: Swiftkey

This is my first post using the new keyboard and being that I was a long time Swyper it seems to work very well. I've been using the non-flow version for a few weeks in preparation for the beta.

There are still a few things to get used to but so far so good.

I think I'm going to go back to Swype. I gave this a shot but I can't get over a few things. I know this is how Swiftkey works, but I don't like them:

1. If I "Flow" (or whatever it's called), I can't get over that the suggested words are what it thinks I want next. I much prefer Swype's suggested words being alternatives to what it thinks I swyped. I know it's a trade off, and Swiftkey's way is better.....if it recognizes what you were trying to type (but apparently I suck worse at Swiftkey's flowing than I do at Swype's swyping).
2. I also much prefer Swype's ability to just tap on a word and get alternative suggestions. On Swiftkey I have to tap the word, then it only give suggestions for things before the cursor, soI have to then drag the cursor to the end of the word.

I don't know....I felt I gave it a fair shot and been using it since day 1, but I just prefer Swype and am much faster with it. To each their own.

Me too. I agree with you. I'm staying with Swype Beta for now. Besides, I've been really diggin' the Swype Beta Red ~~ !

I'm quite happy with the continuous input mode on the stock Samsung keyboard, so unless it's earth staggeringly good I'll give it a miss

Swype Beta Red ~~ . . . is earth staggeringly good !

I'm really looking forward to the final version. I type most often in landscape, using two thumbs. But sometimes I want to type in portrait, using just my right index finger. SwiftKey Flow will let me do either, depending on what I want.

I'm just hoping they polish it up before its final release. And I have read that Flow will be an upgrade for those already using a paid version of SwiftKey. Good thing I took the app back when it was an Amazon Free App of the Day.

After a couple days I've switched back to Swype. Like monkey said above. The suggestions fit more to my swyping. Also the space thing with swift key is aggravating.

After you "flow" it automatically spaces. Swype automatically adds spaces as well but only does it after you start to Swype another word. Which is way smarter and more efficient especially for someone who likes to punctuate.

I really like Swype but also like the predictions in SwiftKey so I'm giving it a shot for a while.

Exactly! I couldn't agree more, and I also prefer the alternative/predictive suggestions of: Swype & Swype Beta.

Punctuation isn't an issue. If you insert a punctuation, it deletes the space. However, the word prediction is very different from swype, and I can see how that can be annoying. I'll be sticking with swiftkey though

I like it, but I'm getting a lot more errors on this than I was on the 4.2 keyboard on the N4. Seems to want to spell much bigger words that I've never even heard of sometimes.

You're not obligated to swipe. You can still tap, or even combine the two.

It's learning your way of using words, spelling, and frequently used phrases. Be patient. And don't forget to submit feedback to them.
