While I do love my Swype (especially as, similarly to the claims made by this keyboard, I am getting close to being able to "touch type" on it), I really, really like how this keyboard looks. Just letters, no fake key edges or anything like that, I think it's a huge improvement in the usage of the space available.
There are several keyboards available for Android that just plain suck on this front, with more space taken up by their early 00s pseudo-3d button styling than by the letters. I love what Fleksy is doing here and I hope more people follow in their footsteps.
I can't get Swype to stop autocorrecting normal words to gibberish, no matter how many times I remove the gibberish word from the dictionary. For example, every time I type "do" it becomes "siop" and nothing I can do impacts this.
The latest version has a much improved dictionary management, and I've found this issue has basically disappeared now, whereas it was very common before. Whether this is solely due to the new dictionary management, or if there have been other less visible changes under the hood, I don't know.
I use SwiftKey for Android for better prediction, I also use several languages and it predicts my words well. I wish there where a combination of Swype and SwiftKey however, as I agree that Swyping is a very fast way of inputting data.
Yep. I easily Swype without looking. There are occasional mistakes, but it requires very little concentration. Anyway, I think there's too much magic in Fleksy and requires a lot of faith/buy-in on the part of the user to trust it.
