Def i got this and its amazing!
I'm using the swype beta which is quite good. How does it compare?

I've been using the SwiftKey Beta. I like it. Much faster than the stock keyboard.
How does it compare to thumb keyboard?

Interesting, I use thumb keyboard and really like it.
In landscape thumbs-mode, how do suggestions work? Is the suggested word in the CENTER of the display? A long reach with the thumb??
It has a numbpad in the middle of the display.

It has 3 different themes and also has a full keyboard layout like the tablet keyboard.
I grabbed it. The word suggestions in the top middle of the keyboard are worthless when you're using the split thumb keyboard though. I also don't like how you can't make the overall keyboard smaller like you can do with thumb keyboard.
the swipe to delete entire word feature is nice, I've already become accustomed to it. If you quickly swipe right to left across the keys it'll delete the entire last word, a nice touch especially on a predictive keyboard.
This keyboard is hard to get used to in both modes. Maybe that's just me though.
I downloaded it and switched to the full keyboard instead of the split. Absolutely worthless. Horrible lag and it ignored touch input especially on the space bar. Uninstalled and got the refund.
This has to be the most responsive keyboard for the SGT. Those of you having problems must have some greasy fingers . Seriously, though, the split keyboard is awesome. Well worth the $1.99 price tag.
Needs more advanced options. Imho
Well Ive been using Thumb Keyboard ever since i got my Tab, love it. But after using Swift X Tablet keyboard, it seems much smoother and cleaner. (IMO of course) BOTH keyboards are great, although ThumbK has many more options, many which are rather useless IMO, they both get the job done VERY well.
Love swiftkey on my phone,but it has a looong way to go to be usable on a tablet. Thumb keyboard is miles ahead.
Using numbers on swiftkey is very clumsy as is the layout of the predication choices. With thumb keyboard both are (excuse the pun) right under your thumb.

Thumbkey's predictions don't even come close to SwiftKey. You can type a whole sentence with hardly touching the keys

SwiftKey definitely is better for predicitons, but its lack of arrow keys and a tab key is keeping me using Thumb for now.
I agree that the addition of direction keys would be a huge benefit but I find the predictive choices to be much better than thumb keyboard. Not as customizable as thumb key, but I do like it better because it is not cluttered.
Try it and see how you like it!

Yeah alright, but what about the text shortcuts, pgup pgdown keys and navigational keys, the toolbar and last but not least the possibility to adjust the width and height of the keys so the keyboard fits better to the range of your thumbs.
A good adjustable layout makes predictions rather a unnecessary luxery. Imagine typing on a regular PC keyboard ... do you really need the fancy (nagging) predictions in that case

Just a head's-up that the new 3.0 version of SlideIt Keyboard for Android is out and it rocks!
I've not a single complaint about this version and I've always wished I could have the best features of Swype, etc. and have the features of SlideIT. I really do think it is finally better than Swype in every way possible.
This is not a spam. I don't work for them. I'm just so happy with the thing, I wanted to share.

They have a promotion directly from their site for $3.99 which they say is a limited-time. I think it was well worth it.

Thanks for the heads up. In your excitement though you appear to have spelled the app's name wrong several times. It's SlideIT. I mention this in case it makes any difference for people searchwise.

Ooops! Yes, I did. I requested a mod to edit the title for search purposes. Thanks.
Anyway, I've really been pleased with the performance of this software.
For me, the best things over Swype are:
delete on error erases the entire word, not just one letter (unless you want to)
multiple language access with one click literally.
shortcuts
text selection is better/easier
etc.

Watched the entire vid. Don't see a Mic key anywhere. It needs to be on the first default keyboard.
Otherwise, some nice features. I'd also prefer to have access to the cursor positioning arrow key more easily. Looks like at least 3 buttons to get there.
Thanks for the reference though.
I ve been using it since yesterday and i am definitely going to prefer it over swype. Lots of shortcuts and dictionary seems to be better than swype..well at least for me.

After a quick trial run I'm liking it better than Swype on my rooted Vibrant. I'll try to remember to come back here and post some thoughts after a couple days.
One of my main problems with Swype was always their word choice window, SlideIT does it much better by putting the suggestions right above the top row of keys where they are with the stock keyboard, so I love that.
After a quick trial on my rooted Vibrant, I'm kinda liking it better than Swype for a few reasons.
1. The word suggestion is not a random pop-up that hides everything. It's right above the keyboard which makes much more sense (personal preference).
2. It appears to be more formal and accurate, especially when inputting new words and keeping the caps, like ASCE.
3. It's overall layout is more to my liking (personal preference).
4. You don't have to hunt for it, make sure the ROM you flash has it, or worry about losing it in the future.
Good find, OP. Thank you.
Still loving it so far. The one drawback I've noticed is the only numeric mode had the numbers across the top of the keyboard, there's no keypad mode that I could see.

It doesn't replace Swype. It adds another keyboard. If you wish, you can delete Swype. I have.
I was a long-time fan of Swype, and the previous iterations of SlideIT were pretty marginal in comparison, but V3 has come a long way and I use it daily and much prefer it. It's much more accurate than Swype, generally, in my experience, and it does a far better job in multi-language accuracy and much faster at switching languages. It's Spanish dictionary is better, for example. The shortcuts/abbreviations are an invaluable feature to me.
Did any one try the new feature "on-the-fly"

SwiftKey has a beta for tablets now, and it has a special landscape mode for thumb typing where the letters are on the right sides of the screen and the numbers in the middle.
It's in beta test right now, and if you join on their forum you can get access to it. It is beta so it has some quirks (like when you've just rotated it, the suggestions show too low like in my screenshot below), and I am not sure I like the default theme yet (it doesn't show secondary keys!) but it's worth a try. http://swiftkey.net/vip is where you can join to try it.
Here's what it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Install the APK as normal (uninstall the beta for Smartphone if you're already using it) and then follow the "from market" part of this guide to copy the APK into /system/app. Reboot, and it should show up in NookColor Tools, same procedure as any keyboard on the Nook Color using the B&N Rom. Any other ROM it should just work.
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Replace_the_Default_Keyboard
BTW just wanted to let people know and help the SwiftKey folks get more feedback, I get nothing from this.
will try when back at home!!
I've tried it and have found the keys to be too small for a 7" screen. I've really enjoyed using ThumbKeyboard and hope the SwiftKey keyboard improves to that level of usability as I love SK's prediction engine.
I'm running the stock 1.1 ROM, rooted, and am trying to get the Beta installed right now. I have the original running fine, but prefer the thumb-keyboard split layout.
I installed the Beta, but can't get it to show up in my Keyboard selection. Not sure it's going to run on Eclair.

It does work on Eclair. You moved the .apk from /data/apps to /system/apps? And set the permissions to match others there? And rebooted? Try those if you have not and check again.

They SEEM to be, but bang out a sentence and see what happens. It's damn good at deciphering nonsense. Same as the Smartphone version, I type like ass on the screen yet most often it figures out the right words.

I installed from /system/app and rebooted, but haven't changed the permissions.

Thanks.
SwiftKey Tab beta seems cool
I've used it to send emails. Nothing special about it that I've seen so far. But it is nice to see a "tablet" getting some love.
edit: I've been using it since Monday. I don't like the interface ('neon') but the split (similar to Thumb Keyboard) is very nice. the keys are smallis buy not unusable. Overall, I like it and recommend giving it a try. Once new skins are made it'll be great.
Got IT
Installed this morning. Not too bad. Keys are too small. Don't think its going to replace my swype. I do love their predictive typing but not enought to stop me swyping.

Odd, did you change the prediction settings? I type terribly without correction, but it does a really good job fixing it for me. You might try some of the other options, there's "rapidfire typing" which is useful for some folks.
Give it a try. But really miss an azerty layout for me..
waiting, but thumb keyboard is growing in my heart.. the only cons about thumb kb is the lack of multi language prediction, i have to disable it..

There are multiple layouts in Swiftkey, just the list is impossible to see on the Nook Color with the white-on-white problem. Apps expect some dialogs to be dark, where on the B&N ROM they're white.
Yep, there's AZERTY there. The problem is picking it I think. In Settings->Layout, try picking the 5th option... QWERTY is first, AZERTY is 5th in the list on my phone. Hopefully the tablet beta is the same. Otherwise, you could experiment I guess.
That's right for swiftkey beta for Phone, the swiftkey beta for tablet only have one option.
I'm running nookie froyo, no white-on-white problem here :/

1+ on that, since I have big hands. The stock keyboard with CM7 or the standard SwiftKey keyboard both beat the heck out of this "tablet" keyboard implementation. And I guess some find neon cool, but its hard on my eyes. Yes, I'm glad SwiftKey is trying, but .... I'll wait until functional wins out over 'Look at this cool keyboard, dude!" approach.
Hi guys,
My friend has bought herself a German Motorola Atrix with Android 2.2. It is locked, but has root (I did that).
Now she is a hell of a texting witch and likes to text a lot, but hates the qwertz keypad. So she is desperately searching for an app which offers the numeric keypad in the Atrix system for everything (texting, e-mail, surfing, ...).
It would also be nice, if it offers Swype like in the Samsung Wave handsets: T9 Trace it is called there. It offers Swype gestures in qwertz AND numeric keypad, which really rocks.
Is that numeric keypad for texting on the Motorola Atrix somehow possible (with or without Swype)?
Thank you in advance.
that seems like a lot for one keyboard to have. tell her to try touchpal keyboard. its new and free on the android market untill october or something like that. i think it has german support it also has swype like imput along with different layouts for input.
hope that helps?
Sounds like you are looking for flext9
Unfortunately, both support/offer only qwertz keypad, no numeric keyboard. I tested them.

Thank you guys for your app hints. That helped a lot. At least, the girl has now her numeric keypad.
Now I am still searching a keyboard app with numeric layout AND Swype/T9 Trace.
Just to remember: "T9 Trace" is Samsung's Swype (not T9 only).
I have a feeling that there is no app like this, because I looked in two other forums in Germany and there were a lot of people asking for this without success.
Something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
For all interested: I found a solution (app) for our problem. Ultra Keyboard from Binary Bulge has got Swype in 3 x 4/numeric keypad layout.
It is still not as good as the T9 Trace on Samsung Wave, bu I am really happy about this.
I have to say, that seems like the most inefficient way to put in text... Buy modern smartphone with large screen, replaced keyboard with a kludge that was forced on us by limits of technology 20+ years ago? You are, of course, free to use whatever works for you; but wouldn't it be better to just retrain yourself to use a proper keyboard? Soon you'll type faster and easier...

Thank you, Touchpal looks good, but like all the others it does not have swype feature (touchpal curve called here) on the numeric keyboard layout (12 keys called here).
That is what this thread is about. We search a keyboard app, that has swyping/tracing on the numeric layout like "T9 Trace" from Dragonfly (which is for Bada phones only).
The only keyboard app I found having this is called Ultra Keyboard, but is not working as good/fast as "T9 Trace" from Samsung Wave phones.

No, unfortunately, it does not have this. I just installed it with a lucky smile, but then got disappointed again. TouchPal Curve is working only the qwery layout, not on 12 button layout.
SwiftKey is very fast once you learn the shortcuts and give it time to learn how you type. Their AI is awesome! There's a free trial in the play store. They'll be releasing a swype-like feature soon.

We have Paranoid Android (Jellybean 4.12) on the phone.
Would be amazing if we could port the textinput-tng.apk from Xperia SK17i GB 2.3.4, that keyboard is pure gold, Both landscape QWERTY (Swipe included) with vertical T9 Numeric keypad...
But actually i don't know how...
For typing (qwerty) . So far I have tried GO Keyboard. Im just so used to hardware keypads. I'm just trying to speed up a bit and cut my typos. Suggestions... ?
I like swiftkeyx, plus I got it for 10 cents during the 100 app sale. I'ts fast and I love how the predictions work. I personally don't like swipe/swype style keyboards, hence my recommendation.
Free = swype and works extremely well one handed.
My favorite, paid app btw but worth it, is swiftkey x. Absolutely amazing prediction capabilities. I have typed entire sentences before by just using their prediction word algorithm.

seriously, the learning prediction is out of this world. 75% of all my texts are done via prediction now and I believe that number is growing.
I dont like Swype. Not crazy about tracing my fingers over the letters. Seems more of a hassle and takez a while to get zippy on it. The Hackers kb looks interesting enough because it has the arrow keys. But, is it fast and accurate? Think it would be small in portrait mode to squish all them extra keys in.
Swiftkey x.. does it have trial or demo?

Smart Keyboard Pro is the one I always seem to be coming back to.
I don't like the "swype type" keyboards at all. SwiftkeyX has absolutely AWESOME word prediction, but you can't resize the KB the way to can using Smart Keyboard Pro.
I like to text in portrait mode using the compact qwerty setup & SKP with its infinitely resizeable button height works super.

yea, I just noticed that but it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of difference what size I choose.
In the Smart KB Pro settings, it gives you a slider for key height in both portrait & landscape that basically allows you to make the keys any height you want.
I don't change the landscape setting, but I like to make the portrait keys a LOT bigger & this KB is the only one I've tried that allows you to do this.

I use the Thumb keyboard 4, I like the edits and cursor buttons at the bottom.

I uninstalled that GO keyboard app. I had more mistakes on that thing than I did with stock Gingerbread kb. That and I hate how it hid symbol keys in second page. And it constantly wanted to update other parts if the app. Actually, I uninstalled it because I think it blew up my IMO chat app. App worked flawlessly for 2 weeks straight.. then a day after I get GO kb.. im chatting and suddenly imo goes into a FC loop. I kill it.. it still show in the notifications but not TM.. look at the notifications, imo FC again...and again. I reboot same thing. idk what happen but i had to remove both imo and GO to get rid of all the FC loops...
Now trying out swiftkey x
I don't think I could live without Swype now. I love it.
SwiftKey hands down the best keyboard. It's the first thing I put on any phone I get.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
SwiftKey x rules. Been using it for a while. Best predictions by far. Also automatically spaces between words. It's also nice to pick up your predicted word and if you miss it, it brings it to one side so you can still choose from it.
Sent from my newly unlocked Rezound.. Thank you HTC.
didn't realize that you could increase the size of the swiftkey keyboard. I will have to try it out.

My old phone had a small joystick, my wife's Android has a roller ball. Both nice to navigate around while editing text. I don't see any way to navigate on any of the included keyboards, other than the clumsy blue tab you can get if you tap the text itself. Any recommendations for a keyboard which includes navigation keys, even if they are on a secondary layout?
I recommend Thumb Keyboard. I used it on my streak for over a year and absolutely can't do without it. It has built in themes and you can customize the size to fit your needs.

Swype has a section almost solely for navigating text. Wrote from the Swype key to the alt key and it'll pull it up.

I'm almost positive Swiftkey X has a similar option to thumb keyboard, at least it looks the same in portrait.
I use Thumb Keyboard also. Have been using it for years on the Streak and now on the Note.
My fav is smart keyboard pro - and don't forget to install the english pack for autocorrect and turn the cursor keys on in settings.

I recommend Thumb Keyboard. I used it on my streak for over a year and absolutely can't do without it. It has built in themes and you can customize the size to fit your needs.

Smart keyboard. The only thing I don't like is that the arrows look greyed out but its just a visual thing.
Sweet, lots of choices to try out. Exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
The reason I like Thumb Keyboard the best is the split when in landscape mode. Makes it so easy to type while browsing. I don't know if other keyboards do it, but since I bought it, I'm sticking with it.
It is on sale right now too.

Thumb keyboard by Beansoft is the only keyboard I'll use. Tried most of em, this one is king. TONS of customization and great word correction.
