Re: Swype keyboard

I hope they do better as well. It appears so far, that is how big it would be in portrait, not sure if it stays that way when in landscape or not in the official release.


Specifications

Swype has been designed to run in real-time on relatively low-powered portable devices.

  • The Swype software is very tightly written with a total memory footprint of under 1 MB,
  • An application requiring from 500K – 900K (depending on options, when compiled for the Windows Mobile platform).
  • 65,000-word language database with an average size of approximately 250K.
  • It is made up of three major components:
  • Input path analyzer,
  • Word matching search engine with accompanying word database,
  • User interface – which is customizable by OEM’s.
  • The algorithms used for Swype were invented by the founders, and contain unique concepts that make the software both powerful and fast.
  • The software has been developed from the ground up with an eye toward localizing it to other languages as well as porting it to other operating systems.
Fast!

You can go fast and be sloppy. There’s no need to try to accurately hit each key. Just make a reasonable effort to trace through the word and Swype will do the rest.
Easy to Learn

The keyboard layout is QWERTY, so there is virtually no learning curve if you’ve already learned to type on a regular keyboard.
Natural Feeling

The smooth motion of sliding from letter to letter feels very natural, not to mention fast.
Finger-Tip Operation

Swype can be used equally well with either a stylus or your fingertip. You don’t have to be precise; so even if you have a large finger that partially obscures the keys, Swype still works!
Auto-Spacing

You can go even faster since Swype automatically enters spaces for you. (Spaces are prepended in front of each word entered by Swype).
Auto Spelling Correction

Not only can you go fast and be sloppy, in most typical cases, Swype will even correct misspelled words. For example, trace out “freind”, and Swype will automatically generate “friend”.
Capitalization Shortcut

Save time by capitalizing any letter in a word with a simple gesture: just slide from the letter to off the top of the keyboard and the continue entering the rest of the word.
65,000-word Learning Dictionary

Chances are the word you are typing is already in the Swype dictionary. But if it isn’t, just tap it out once followed by a space, and Swype will automatically learn it for next time.
Statistical Tracking

Keep track of your speed using Swype’s built-in statistical tracking.
Accented Characters

Words with accented characters (“diacritics”) require no special action - just Swype the word and the correct spelling will be entered. New words with accented characters can by typed by tapping and holding on the letter to see all possible variations.
Over 50 Symbols

Most common symbols are on the main keyboard layer and can be quickly entered by tapping on the key and sliding off the top of the keyboard. Many other symbols are readily available on Swype’s second keyboard layer.
Automatic Help

Swype detects when you may be having trouble or might be able to benefit from a particular feature, and prompts you with helpful tips and instructions.
Interactive Tutorial

Get up-to-speed quickly with the fun and fast Swype interactive tutorial.
Advanced Features

When the Swype software is first started, it runs a short piece of test code to estimate the overall speed of both processing and file access in its current environment. This estimate is used to establish a default value for a “Swype Operation” parameter that can be adjusted by means of a slider control displayed in the user options.
Input Slider

The slider is labeled at the far left with “Faster Response” and at the far right with “Sloppier Input.” This slider setting controls a broad range of internal parameters that determine the breadth of the initial database search to identify the most likely matching word for each entered input path. It also controls a large number of other thresholds, such as how close the path needs to come near a key in order for that key to be potentially considered as a “match” to the path at that point. The slider is initialized to the determined default value, which results in an average response time of less than 250 milliseconds. This means that, on average, Swype will generate the intended word for an input path within ¼ second of when the stylus or finger is lifted from the screen at the end of the path

Re: Swype keyboard

I beta tested it on my 800w (pointless, I know) and worked very well. If I had a Diamond this would most definitely be one of my must have apps. Text input is very quick and very accurate. I only used it for a week and never came across a time when it couldn't make a word I wanted. I found it was much faster to talk in normal, proper, english than using text speak. The only downside that on my device it was so small I HAD to use the stylus, not a big deal for me though. If you haven't tried it I highly recommend you do.

Re: Swype keyboard

I'll try this out and see if it would be a good replacement for Shapewriter. I like shapewriter and all, but it is only stylus friendly on the vogue and, as mentioned earlier, i bit buggy. I'll post back with my results at some point.

Re: Swype keyboard

I've tried both. Slideit is okay, but the symbols page is VERY small. Shapewriter is a little better, but every time the screen rotates, the keyboard pops up automatically and won't go away. I never found a setting to change this action.
