So Which Keyboard You Rocking?

[paulr24]

After reading through some of this thread I was thinking about how I would love it if I could use Swype in portrait and Swiftkey X in landscape and have it automatically switch back and forth. I did some searching and found that there is an app called Keyboard Manager (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ne0fhykLabs.android.utility.kmLauncher&hl=en) that allows you to do exactly that. It's for root users only, and it's working great on my gnex. Just thought I'd share that since I feel like it would be helpful to a lot of people in this thread.

I love Swype, but I simply can't use it with my thumbs (and I have no idea why).

Just bought Swiftkey, and I'm in love. Very, very fast, and I love how many options exist to truly adapt it to you and your typing style.

Stock keyboard. I have Swype installed but it's tough to use on such a big screen (used it like a champ on my OG Droid). I don't like how Swiftkey looked on the GNex - but I do use it on my Xoom.

Stock again

Loved Swype for a while but it is difficult on such a large screen

I actually found Swiftkey to be the worst of all 3 with noticeable lag on input as well as a tiny spacebar

Swiftkey X

I use flext9 and I have had no problems with my gnex. I like the fact that the faster I swipe, the better it is at predicting what I want to type!
I had swype on my OG. never reloaded it on my gnex. tried swiftkey but went right back to flex. LOVE IT!

Swiftkey x. I do not like the latest Swype.

SwiftKey X.

But I switch to MultiLing Keyboard when I have to type in my native Nepali script. So far it is the only keyboard that I have found that has Nepali dictionary plug in.

Swype Beta all the way. Love this thing! Bought SlideIT a while ago, was very happy. Gave Swype beta a try and am NOT looking back to SlideIT.

My friends keep asking me how i'm able to text so quickly. I tell them, "swiping my words". They can't because they're on fruit phones.

I just switched from SwiftkeyX to TouchPal, and I like it so far.

I am using the stock keyboard. Mostly because I love the real time voice typing. Once swiftkey can integrate that I may give it another go.

Bought Swiftkey X for $.49 yesterday. Haven't used it much yet, but did notice it jacks up voice actions.

Before Swiftkey X, I could hit the mic icon, say "text Jane Doe, see you soon", the text would then be ready to send. With Swiftkey X installed, the text is created to the sender correctly, but then stops. You have to manually input the text body.

Also noticed that if I'm already in the messaging app and use voice to text any pause causes Swiftkey X to end dictation, unlike the stock keyboard.

Do I have something setup wrong? I'll most likely go back to the stock keyboard.

I've been using SwiftKey X since the day of release. The predictive text has proven to be pretty amazing, and perfect for my poor typing.
