  | Swype - Easy text input method for phonesAnybody heard of Swype? Came across it the other day and it looks pretty cool! Allows you to 'swype' from one key to another to make a word instead of tapping. Heard this is on cydia too for iphone and ipod touch.  Swype | Text Input for Screens

| Yh, Nokia N8 has this as standard, pretty old. They're updating it (or have done so recently) so that it's more tablet friendly and it has better word recognition (you don't need to even get a single letter correct!). There's an app for iphone that let's you use the swype keyboard, although it's just an app and you can't do much with it (you can type stuff and then send it as an email, sms etc.). It's good. Very good. Works well. Last edited by iFreeZone; 07-07-11 at 11:48 PM.. |

| And, as for it being on iPhone etc. via Cydia, I think it came out today. I was looking for this a month or two ago but got nothing. Here's the repo that you'd want to add on Cydia if you wanted a Beta Version of Swype on your iOS device: http://wynd.x10.mx/ It doesn't work that well to be honest (2 mins of using it) and only works on stock iOS apps. Still a beta so not surprised. Last edited by iFreeZone; 08-07-11 at 12:08 AM.. |

  | This comes default with all Samsung Androids and been using it for a year now. Works great and puts a word typed straight into the dictionary if it already isn't. I typed this message using Swype...

| Yeah really easy to use, just frustrating when it gets the same word wrong repeatedly. Also, it seemed to drain the battery ridiculously on my San Francisco, changed it back and it was fine.

 | I just tried it on my iPhone. It is amazing! I think that I typed the word "extracurricular" in 5 secs :O |

| Dude, that's nothing! I had typed "Uncopyrightable" in just 4 secs! And also, I'd entered this in the dictionary: "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" and then Swyped it. Guess what? 7 seconds!
