Swype... nothing beats it.

[Bujin#IM]

I tried to like it, but prefer the stock keyboard (particularly with the speech to text button).

Like has been said(typed), Google is your friend. As are the fine folks at xda.

can I get a link to Swype? Would love to try it, the HTC KB is taking some getting used to...

I got swype last night and I love it. Just thought about the fact that it didn't have speech to text, but it's very simple to switch between keyboards, if it's every really needed.

Makes one handed typing possible for me.

I downloaded Handcent app to be my main texting application and replace the default messages...inside that app it gives you the option to use voice to text while using swype as well....I also have used swype and will not go back!

Swype is awesome, but will fail until they add the Record button. Voice texting on Android is ridiculously good.

I tried it for a couple of days and while it was a neat trick, I found it actually made me much slower than using the stock keyboard with its excellent correction and prediction. When you have to spend 10 seconds backspacing and retracing the same word over and over because Swype just can't accept that it may've guessed wrong, you're losing any of the other advantages. Also, since I'm familiar with a QWERTY keyboard, I found it harder to spell words like "predictable" because I had to traverse the width of the screen 4 or 5 times.

what he said

 

[tibbys]

i want it

Been using swype for the past 2 days too and am getting the hand of it... what i like is that it's like cursive for keyboards... i actually kind of feel lazy using it. wish i could spell as fast as i can scribble though...

Those of you who stopped using it because there's not speech button--there is. Hold down the menu key when the keyboard is on the screen and you'll see a button for it.

So I installed it and went through the tutorial, but how do I get it to work? When I pull up any area where text entry is required it's the stock keyboard. I went into the keyboard settings and made sure Swype was checked but no luck.
