Swype available as a beta to all now

[Guest thehitmen]

Just press for around 3 secs on an area where you input text eg sms. It will come up with a dialog screen, choose input method and choose swype.

See the wiki page under "Changing between Android and TouchPal on-screen keyboards"

Worked thanks <_<

I've tried uninstalling, redownloading and installing several times.. I guess I have to give-up

No success on my untouched December pulse <_<

Working on my CHT 8000, after installation of the latest version.

So far, I like it a lot.

I can imagine this will be quite a bit faster than tapping, particularly after I get used to it.

Word recognition is quite amazing, even with inaccurate sliding on my part.

I tried Swype for a few days but I really didn't get on with it. I much prefer Shapewriter for the following reasons:

- Very easy to correct mistakes made by words generated using swipe. I just found correcting mistakes using Swype very tedious.

- Swype is very laggy. I'll do a test later to see how much CPU its actually using (this probably has an effect on battery life too)

One + point about Swype is that the keyboard itself for manual entry is very good. If only Shapewriter was as good, then it would be perfect!

Thanks to the OP for pointing this out.

I've started to use swype properly now and it really is very good indeed <_<

This app is amazing: I still haven't found a word in which it fails to guess, apart from names of people, etc (and it's only a beta version!!!).

Really impressed!!!

Doesn't seem much different to me

I was enjoying this but now it's started to play up.And just completely random words in that aren't even proper words! It's still faster than typing however.
