SwiftKey Officially Released

Oh yea, I guess that might work too lol. I was thinking of one keyboard or the other, but this might give me time enough to compare the two. My only question is how do you activate one keyboard and turn off the other?

long press in a text box and choose input method. Make sure to enable the keyboard in settings though.

I can't get the market version to work for me. I enable the keyboard in the settings, but it doesn't show up in my input method selection. The pre-market version worked just fine, so I'm not really sure what's wrong.

[sportadic22]

Been using it for a few days. I have to say, I really don't like it at all. It rarely picks up the next word I'm about to say. Only reason I'm still using it is because I've been too lazy to change it back, haha. I might give it another shot down the road.

Did you download the predictive dictionary? If not, that would explain it's lack of prediction. I'm finding it very impressive. Once I'd typed "Murder," it did an excellent job of predicting both "Oriental" and "Express."

oops didnt mean to double post

I have been used Swype for several months and like it a lot. Just downloaded Swiftkey and am going to try it for a few weeks at least to see how I like it. Thanks for the info!

Wow, i'm really liking SwiftKey a lot. The prediction is very good as other's have said. I'll be flying once I get used to this.

My only criticisms would be that it definitely needs the microphone button for speech-to-text like the stock keyboard. And long-pressing to get to the secondary character on the keys seems like it takes a little longer than i'd like.

I'll definitely be using this though.

Skins, skins, skins. It's missing them! Having said that, the keys are a little on the thin side making it difficult to use if you have large sausage fingers. It obviously beats the stock Android keyboard but its got some work to do to go against HTC IME.

Excellent program with one exception... Microphone on keyboard. I use speech to text enough that I'm not willing to sacrifice it for Swiftkey.

I thought it didn't work yesterday with 2.2. Issue I was having is that it kept force closing all apps upon opening the keyboard. I went through all the setup it required and it didnt work. I uninstalled then reinstalled making sure after I did the SwiftKey setup I closed it went to setting> keyboard and unchecked Android making only SwiftKey available. Works fine now. Only wish in portrait the keys were a little bigger and there was a voice button. I use the voice to text and email about 40% of the time for short messages (it is really convenient). But I will give it a few weeks and see how it goes I do love the prediction

Is it good enough to scarfice voice to text for?

It is really nice but I use Voice to Text too much to give it up.
