Guest Karucifer Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 I know what you're thinking, no - we didn't pick up on the story of SwiftKey Mono a week late. There's a whole new, real and all together more useful SwiftKey beta available for download at the SwiftKey VIP site - Swiftkey 3.<br /> <br /> If you aren't a long-time user of Swiftkey the new name may be a tad confusing, but in short Swiftkey X wasn't release 10 - I guess they just didn't have any better ideas for the last iteration.<br /> <br /> Anyhow, the new beta, currently v3.0.0.96, brings a lot of changes - specificially:<br /> <br />2 new themes - Cobalt and Holo<br />Smart Space - automatically inserting missed spaces<br />A larger spacebar<br />Smart Symbol - a 'slide-over' key to access the most frequently used symbols<br />Backup - support for Android Backup for your personal dictionary<br />Smart punctuation - language specific punctuation<br /><br /> I've been tinkering with the beta for a little while and thus far am pretty keen. It's especially well-timed considering the dross that HTC called a keyboard in the stock One X ROM <img src='http://android.modaco.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /><br /> <br /> Source: Swiftkey VIP Download (Registration Required)<div style='text-align: center;'><img src='' alt='' /></div><div style='text-align: center;'><img src='' alt='' /></div><br /> <br /> This item was promoted to the News page - click here to view.

Guest PaulOBrien Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Not a fan of the punctuation change but that aside, very nice. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chewy11 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I just figured out last night on ALL About Android on TWIT that the punctuation button is not meant as a long press to open a window but a touch point IE: a land here and swipe left, stop where needed. This has taken away my grippe with this beta. The rapid function typing style really really untangles the words of a sentence, it's remarkable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
