Why is Swype so shitty? Typos every other fucking word.

>The Witch brown fix humid over the last dog

It works for me.

No, wait, it doesn't.

Well, at least it's better than typing every fucking letter on these shitty tiny "keyboards".
>>
dem dubs and trips

I've been using Swype ever since I got a smart phone, since I thought it'd help me type faster. I think tapping -> word prediction might actually be faster than swiping and correcting. I haven't tried it out since I don't use my phone much, but most people I know seem to type faster than me on their phone.

Why are you even using swipe? You can't touch type on a phone in 2015? I can get up to 60 WPM on a good day typing on my phone in portrait mode.
>>
Swype actually works really well once you use it a while, but it has a pretty steep learning curve. I had to force myself to use it a while before I was even on par its my regular texting speed, but eventually it has the potential to be a lot faster.

Works for me, senpai.

The only time I ever use swype is when I drag my finger across my screen by accident. Even if the word comes out right I delete it and retype it properly because I don't want my phone getting any ideas thinking it's better than me or something.

Maybe I'm full of shit, but Samsung's swype seems so much shittier than Google's. Now that I think about it, why am I even using Samsung's at all?

Because it is fucking guessing what you are typing based on your movement rather than fucking specific inputs.
The suggestions it gives you are very good, pick the right fucking one you cunt. It's still saving time.
>>
>the quick brown fox jumps over the last dog
So close.

I have hands the size of dinner plates, so it's either Swype with wrong words every third or constant typos cause of my massive fucking fingers. Having gorilla hands sucks.

Fleksy master race. Try it, learn the 4 gestures, type faster.

Flesky is the best keyboard. Much faster and safer than swype

Just installed it, so far looks great.
Thanks anons!

>swipe up or down for symbols
This is great.
>>

Google keyboard does it just fine.
>>
>>52045235
You can dismiss the top row of numbers and if you want to type a number you can swipe up on the corresponding letter. e.g q=1 w=2 e=3
Also do not forget to disable all the bloat on General settings.

First try no corrections old as fuck Swype that came with my galaxy S2

Nah, lg had top row numbers and I liked that. I'll stick with that because I'm more used to it.
Already disabled most things and enabled wave. It's great.

Lumia 950XL user here
Incidentally, this phone has its own implementation of Swype built in.
It only works in ordinary text fields (no passwords or other special ones), but I digress

So, what I've noticed is that the best way to get the word you want, and you already know that there are a bunch of letters collinear with each other, that you just swipe a loop around each letter.

Muh Windows Phone has been able to figure out what the fuck I'm trying to say every single time
>>
Wait people still use it? I always use the google one. I was wondering if there was a better one because I do remember Swype being ass before I moved on
>>
>>52041058
I'm a poor man that doesn't have a car, so I have to use public transport and I never, ever take a seat

So I have only one hand to masturbate
>>
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Wrote this with one hand using swype. Did not even have to tap any alternate word suggestions. You need to use for a couple of days for it to learn your typing behaviour. It's also the only keyboard which supports my language well.

Yeah, I usually get a lot of hate because of it, but fuck it, I use it because I like it.
