Which keyboard

[Kainz15]

I'm getting this phone today, so it'll be interesting to see what I like best. I've used swype before and I liked it, but I also kinda dig everything being stock.

i like how swype will recognize new words to add to dictionary.

If i start calling my friend yobbakanobi for some reason. If i type out yobbakanobi using swype and then press the spacebar it will add that word to the dictionary.

Now whenever I need to type yobbakanobi I can just sWype it out.

This feature works great even for username and fields needing an email address.

FULL OF WIN!!

looks like few are using the voice-to-text function on the android kbd. I guess we're all being responsible and not texting while driving (the main use i can imagine for v-t-t).

does anyone use the word prediction on swype. i find it annoying that it pops up in the middle of the screen

I've used swype since day one. Didn't really take too long to get used to. Having to correct my messages gets a little annoying sometimes though.

I'm using SwiftKeys. It's scary how good the word prediction is after you use it a while - sometimes it has the next work before I even start typing. So, if you can type while keeping an eye on the three suggested words above the keyboard, you can really save some typing time.

I also like that the latest version has a voice button so I can quickly do voice to text - and SwiftKeys gives you some options on what text is closest after you finish speaking.

I also like Swype, but find that SwiftKeys learns better and doesn't throw in as many odd words. I still hate editing on this phone - it really needs a magnifying glass type cursor enhancement....or an optical mouse like the HTC Incredible.

Has anyone noticed that there is no WWW. Or. Com button while in the browser when using the swipe keyboard

I'm currently using the swift key beta. The predictive text works well. It's like it's reading my mind. It's extremely better than the stock HTC keyboard and has a dedicate emoticon button with properly formatted emoticons. I would buy it once it comes out of beta.

I'm trying swift key right now and i'm not quite sure yet. I will have to think about it.

 

[johnnyshinta]

I don't like how it chooses what it thinks I mean not what I type

I use the Samsung keyboard. You can go into settings and turn on word prediction as well. The Samsung keyboard blows away the Android keyboard. And because i touch type, Swype require to much thinking.

When in the browser, if you tap the 123 you get a space bar. You don't get a space bar when you are inputting into the URL bar - there are no spaces in URLs. So some shortcuts I am training myself to do: use the search key when i really want to search; use the url bar when i know where i want to go; bring up a google home page when i want to search within the browser, or just hit the search button 2 times to get the quick search box, then hit the 123 key followed by abc to force a space bar.

None of this is elegant, but I really like the Samsung keyboard.

I use swiftkey doesn't show all the words that confuses me just 3 spaces for words.

 

[johnnyshinta]

Its frustrating because each one has its ups and downs. The swype kb obviously has swype and stellar editing options and you can long press to get symbols and numbers but its word prediction is TERRIBLE

The Samsung is well spaced and has decent editing options but when you go to symbols you have to cycle through many screens.

The android has through best word prediction and has voice to text but no editing

Swype gets my vote. It took some getting used to but it seems even easier now than my iPod touch was.

 

[johnnyshinta]

Yes it is pretty easy to swype but tap typing is extremely difficult to use

 

[johnnyshinta]

So let me ask...who uses he T9 option forth Samsung one

its my new favorite keyboard

 

[johnnyshinta]

Any new opinions?

 

[johnnyshinta]

no one uses t9?
