Hmm decided to try MeassagEase out. It's a neat little thing. It's the first touch keyboard that I would consider punching code in with. Most tablet keyboards require too many button presses to get to the symbols and lack the deliberate nature this seems to have. Would be nice if it had some predictive text for when I'm just chatting but oh well.
Huh, MessageEase looks interesting. Wish I'd known about it.
But I just bought a new Motorola Photon Q with slide-out physical keyboard. I love it already. It seems much faster than Swype or SwiftKey (subjectively, at least; I haven't attempted speed measurements).
The current default auto-correct for the Samsung Galaxy S2 is highly annoying as it actually omits some of the alternatives and you can't switch between languages anymore.
Interesting, because I kinda like the keyboard on the SGS3. It can do touch-typing, markov-chain word proposals, swiping, text recognition input (I don't use that one personally, but when I tried it was surprisingly decent).
Actually, from all the Samsung stuff on the device this one is by far the best. The rest is meh or useless or downright pointless, yet I like the keyboard.
Only gripe is that it uses the same dictionary for all languages. Which can be useful, at times.
I use Messagease on my phone. It took me around a week to get to 30 WPM. With two fingers it's possible to have around 50 WPM.
If you are looking for alternative keyboards, I recommend to try it:
