Told you!

Smart keyboard pro is the way to go :biggrin:


Is it not similar? Looks like it is when I googled it.

It's at least predicting when I want to finish texts!!

I'm also ending up with a lot of extra spaces :s-smilie:

I'll keep trying for a while then see :smile:


Umm if I remember correctly when you tap on the word you don't need to tap space. It makes spaces for you. Also a nice hint swipe the keyboard backwards to delete the word.
Currently I have swype, it is fast but I can see how swiftkey may well be faster. After all, if you only have to enter 1-3 letters of every word surely it must be quicker? I suppose I 'll find out when I give it a proper go.

I've used Swift Key for a while now and I'm not even typing the 3rd letter anymore. I usually type in the first letter which is usually H and it guesses " Hey, How's you? Are you at uni yet" as that is my most used collections of words and I text that every morning everyday really.

Yeah but the space annoys me when the next thing i want is a punctuation mark or something :s-smilie:

Even better.

Have you used swype? I think the only reason I have it at the moment is novelty, it's fun to use (and is faster than a standard keyboard), so much so that when google predicts what I'm searching for I usually just keep on swyping. :colondollar: (Urgh, that is nerdy to the extreme)

Tap the word then tap the punctuation mark. it will go next to it like how it will suppose too,

I think I've used it for a while before I found out about Swift Key then changed to Swift Key and never looked back really.

See it's a clever little program :smile:
Also something like settings, -> keyboard -> Swift Key you can see how many characters you saved making you more efficient at typing.

Just got it, let's see how this rolls. :cool:

I suspect it'll be useful for texts, which I barely send out unless I'm away - but when I'm googling stuff it's usually new words etc. anyway.

Swiftkey I find is good when you want to type a quick text message and the prediction has a good idea what you want to say but trying to type quickly with it is just a non-starter, the predictions take too long to load and then miscorrect the words

What do you use?

I'm going to give swiftkey a week or so, but I've been quite impressed, in some cases it basically gets the sentence I'm about to type with only 3-4 actual letter inputs.
Hey guys, is there any app that will let me use my phone as a microphone for my computer? :biggrin: Cheers!
