I used Unexpected Keyboard
Any tips on how to improve typing speed? (without using word suggestion and autocorrect)
I’m interested in how fast people who swipe type are.
Also, do those keyboards like Thumb Key and FlickBoard have the potential “to be faster” than the standard keyboards?
I just tried it with my swipe keyboard and the website didn’t like it at all. It was double entering words randomly when I would otherwise type fine.
That said, I got 34 wpm and 95% accuracy, which is in line with me using a qwerty or Dvorak physical keyboard. I ain’t no Speedy Gonzalez.
Do you touch-type with ten fingers and never hurt yourself? That’s all that matters.
I tried it with open board and had the same issue I’m never going back to non swiping but I miss swype everyday
I really wish Microsoft would release the original swype again… Pretty sure I read somewhere that they’re the current owners (due to acquisitions).
It carried on working for years and years without updates but finally died recently. I miss gestural copy and paste for sure
Swype is great but every now and then I get “swypos” where I’ll think I put the right word and I put something else there and the reader has to figure it out :)
Swipe typing used to be so good for me, but now I have to correct every third word, it feels like. And it keeps correcting to just the most random ass words. Why the hell would it correct “probably” to “pusillanimous”? I’ve tried multiple modern keyboards and they’re all like this, I should download an old apk…
