SwiftKey 4.0 is finally out and available in Google Play Store. It's a really great Android keyboard with both predictive typing and gestured based typing. Predictions works great with both way of using it. I like it a lot. This is the first version that I think is better than Swype. The SwiftKey Flow beta was not better, but this Swifkey 4 version is. I will switch to SwiftKey now. I am mainly a gesture typer and the predictions in Swiftkey beats Swype now. And it learns much more from the user now too.
I can highly recommend SwiftKey 4.
This is what's new:
SwiftKey Flow: World’s most accurate gesture input. Write by gliding your finger on the keyboard.
Multimodal - SwiftKey Flow can be mixed with tap input, with switching mid-word.
Mid-word completion: when you see the word you want just lift your finger off and the word will be inserted.
Flow Through Space: Gesture multiple words without lifting a finger, just by sliding your finger down to the space bar between words
Flow with next-word prediction: when you finish flowing a word, SwiftKey immediately shows you its best guesses for your next word
Three SwiftKey Flow candidates: tap backspace after completion of a flow to see three potential words
Easier corrections: Tap anywhere on any word to choose an alternative from SwiftKey’s three best guesses, based on the context and on your input
Better personalization: More thorough learning of your language and typing style - size of personal language profile increased in SwiftKey’s real-time prediction engine.
SwiftKey automatically detects writing style - SwiftKey predictions will tend towards completing your word or correcting your mistyping depending on your behavior - no need to select “rapid” or “precise” as in previous versions
Better predictions: Enhanced language engine, predictions in more text fields (as requested by our users)
60 languages: Now including Albanian, Bosnian, Javanese, Sundanese, Thai, Vietnamese
Improved layouts for Russian and Korean.
Multi-coloured ink: The on screen ‘ink’ that shows progress of a flow uses a multi-layered effect to show the beginning and end of a ‘flow’. Ink colour complements the keyboard theme selected
Hold to delete: Long-press the delete key to remove the whole word. Deletion accelerates as you continue to hold. Slide to delete gesture can only be used when SwiftKey Flow is disabled.
