Been using it since early this morning. Gotta say it's pretty freaking smooth so far..
The stock note 2 keyboard still pwns swiftkey flow IMO. It offers nothing above stock and it lacks to many features vs. Stock.

I like it a lot. I bought SwiftKey a while back and keep swapping between that and Swype beta.
The new SwiftKey seems to be the best of both.
2 things that make this a lot better than the Samsung keyboard for me are:
1. When you set the keyboard height to small, it takes up a lot less screen space and you can see a lot more of the active application. It seems the perfect size on our large Note screens. The Samsung keyboard is probably ok on a smaller screen, but the keys are way too big on the Note.
2. The punctuation button for !,.? auto disappears after you select one of them. With the Samsung keyboard you have to press the back button, which is silly as you very rarely use more than one punctuation mark at a time.

1. how is this any different from swype?
2. does this integrate with the normal swiftkey? or do i have to switch between the 2 all the time?

Flow functions just the same as regular swiftkey if you want to just type.
Wow, I´m deeply thankful for this step swiftkey just made. I was kind of frustrated since I got my Note I (same with my note II), as I really love SwiftKey as there simply is no better alternative for fast typing...BUT it was always impossible to change the keyboard to stock when putting out the S-Pen...and "tipping" with the S-Pen on Swiftkey was always senseless. For this reason, I abandoned the idea to use the pen for "tipping" actions for months now.
Since yesterday, these times are gone. Beautiful. Perfect for the note. I simply love it! Sadly, it will mean that I´ll have to buy the app again I guess. But perhaps SwiftKey is the king of consumer-friendlyness as well :highfive:
Omg, SwiftKey technology with swipe e con tre lingue. Frumos!

I'm fan of Swiftkey too, but am using the s-pen a lot for handwritten messages.
I hope they can / will implement that feature too.

Swype Tablet Beta using the SPen to swype is the best keyboard combo I have found for the Note. Easily the fastest and most accurate way to enter text that I have found...I think I type faster on my phone than I do on my laptop. Haha. That being said, I'm terrible at typing on a laptop/computer keyboard...never learne to use all of my fingers so I just pick at the keyboard with two fingers. Glad my career won't require fast typing.
As to the OP, I definitely run into that problem with some keyboards. Try the Swiftkey 3 Beta, you don't need to use the spacebar unless you're typing a word not in the keyboards dictionary, and it works really well; I think it's awesome how it automatically detects words and puts in spaces for you. Plus, it has some awesome themes to match ICS.

Give the ICS keyboard a shot. Its actually pretty nice. A major upgrade over the stock keyboard.

I like using the SPen, and the regular Swype buttons seem too large. Even with fat fingers I have no problems with the smaller buttons. Also, the tablet version had a tab key which is really useful for taking notes in class.

I'm currently using some free one called Tablet Keyboard I think. It's ok but when in portrait view, i find it a bit tedious to keep switching between left and right half of the keyboard/screen.

Thumb keyboard or Swype, have them both, since I broke my right wrist Swype has been a lifesaver, lol.

SwiftKey all the way
I've tried Smarter Keyboard, Swift Key X, GO Keyboard, and the Stock keyboard.
The predictions in Swift Key are the best I've ever seen. I bought it for my DesireHD and that worked so well. Until now I was using the Beta 3 on my TP but it's expired, so no more predictions
Now I have to buy the Tablet version because the normal one isn't quite suited for a 10" screen.
BTW, GO Keyboard is terrible. I like how minimal SwiftKey is. I don't want some stupid shortcut bar taking up room on the screen like in GO!
SwiftKey tablet is great, love the split keyboard and the predictions.

I've tried them all.and when you compare configuration possibilities and customization nothing beats Thumb Keyboard in any field. Swiftkey may have a little better prediction but nit enough to warrant me switching over from Thumb

I'm using the stock keyboard most of the time since it has the best accuracy multi finger typing as on a physical keyboard.
Thumb Keyboard is the best I've used. (old screenshot below)
You can also check float and split keyboard. It has 4 different layout. I dont really use the prediction, so i dont know how the prediction is compared to other keyboard. But, it definitely has one of the best keyboard layout option i would say. These screenshots are two out of the 4 options.
Thank me if i helped

Swype Beta FTW! Best keyboard on the market right now. Ironically its actually not on the market... Oops, I meant play store. Swyping> letter typing. An average Swype user inputs more words per minute than a skilled conventional "button presser"
Is that simple download and enjoy http://bit.ly/skflowbeta

Swift key has been my favorite keyboard for a while now so I'm definitely looking forward to this coming along.

its awsome, i love the new space swipe thing. Only thing i miss is the left swipe to delete the last word you typed.
It's not bad. Sometimes it's pretty laggy visually, other times it's fine.

in my experience today i have found it to be exteremly responsive and FAR more accurate then the sense keyboard or 4.2 for that matter. I ditched swype a while ago but I'm in love with this thing. Is everyone set up for precise or rapid? rapid has yeilded better responses when gesture typing for me
Liking it mostly. I just don't like that I can't click on a word and have it bring up other words you might have wanted, ala what swype does. I find myself having to change quite a few words.
Anyone get the flow without a space for a sentence to work? I tried it on a pretty basic sentence and it just double vibrated at me and did nothing.
Kind of a lag on a tablet but I like the effects going to try this on my nex4

Really bugs me that in a "name" field or box, it won't let me swype. Have to enter each letter individually. Haven't found the setting to change that yet...
So far I'm really liking it! Honestly I never really liked the "swipe" style typing but I've been using it on the stock HTC keyboard and now I'm hooked! I have been a huge fan of swift key and have the pro version paid for four a long while now.. Their predictive text is just great and adding the swipe text "flow" is really cool.

May be it's the amount of time I've spent on Swype, I didn't find flow as accurate and fast as Swype
I've been using swype for a couple years and this seems to get what I'm trying to type better and definitely seems smoother, I do miss a few things from swype though like the swype button to a, x , c, and v for select all and copy paste. Is there a different way of doing this or just not available?

Its still in beta and there is a feedback link within the settings of the app im sure they are open to suggestions!
and im definitely and advocate for swype but i find the individual key entry which is so necessary to be far to clunky and innacurate where as this finds a happy medium that im very satisfied with. also folks remember this is beta so they will be releasing a polished version sooner or later. if you have complaints voice them from within the apps feedback section
I find the prediction on Flow to be worse than Swype, but it would be servicable if not for not showing multiple predictions when typing on a word. If you make a mistake it takes a while to correct it, but that's to be expected with a beta. It has potential working off of SwiftKey 3's great prediction software.
Anyone have any suggestions for a better keyboard on the note 2?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I use smart keyboard pro.
Lots of features and customizable options. Adjustable size for portrait and landscape. The two best features are smart insert for punctuation (meaning you type a word, push space, push your punctuation symbol, and the keyboard put the punctuation after the word not the space). And auto text like on blackberry.

Can't beat swype IMO, once you get the hang of it, it's just so much faster.
2nd is Swiftkey. Once swiftkey gets swiftkey flow better it will be the best.
I've tried so many keyboards, and keep retunring to better keyboard 8.

I'm using the Swiftkey Flow Beta. I was hoping it would be hands down the best since I really like Swiftkey's prediction and being able to swipe. But it's not as predictable as Swype for input. And you can't use the swipe input in auto-complete fields like browser address bars, To: fields in email and SMS.
The prediction is still the best though, so I may start just touch typing with it. But swiping with the stylus is pretty sweet.
Thumb keyboard is really good on the note 2. I like the shortcut feature and the split screen

I just tried it and me think I likey too!! :silly: I usually use one of the swift key keyboards though... I like their new one but once it seems as if I am finally starting to get the hang of it, I get a "blah" moment (usually when I am trying to show off how cool the keyboard is) but I do like this smart keyboard pro too, it seems to work fairly well! :good:
Just rooted yesterday, stock ROM. I can't believe how much I miss auto-correct, yikes..
This is by far my favorite keyboard that I have used and I've used them all! Lol
I turned on the gestures (swipe) and turned off the sound and haptic feedback. Unlike some swipe keyboards, this one actually let's you type or swipe without screwing up if you fat thumb it because it "thinks" you're trying to swipe.
Doesn't take much to get used to, but IMO this is the best kB that I've used on my S3, Note2 and now my S4
Good luck

I think two best keyboards with auto-correct are as follows:
International Galaxy S4 Keyboard
and
Google Keyboard
I personally use the International S4 keyboard that built-in to the Hyperdrive ROM and it does a really good job without any lag.
Swift key has quite possibly the best auto correction I've ever used... And it's predictive text is eerily accurate. Almost as if it's mind reading. It also learns your typing style and language style from sms and twitter etc... The "swipe" feature (which swift key calls 'flow') is really cool because unlike with swype and Google keyboard, you don't have to lift your finger to start a new word. You can swipe to the space bar and just keep on swiping to the next word. And it works really well.
I typed this entire post (with the exception of the parentheses and punctuation) without lifting my finger once.
There is a free trial. And once it runs out auto correction disables, but you can still use the keyboard for free... I've tried a whole lot of keyboards and this is by far the best and worth the couple of bucks.
It's rare for an app/developer to truly impress me and provide an app I feel is worth paying money for, deserve support, are essential for all of my devices and are used daily; apps like nova launcher, titanium backup, sliding messaging, Tapatalk, poweramp and tablet talk... To me, swift key is one of those essential apps.

+1 for Swiftkey. It learns what/how you normally type to people. Example, It knows full sentences of stuff I say to my gf often to the point that all I have to do is keep hitting the space bar to type a full sentence.
Like a few others have already said, SwiftKey is probably the best keyboard available.

Yup. Swiftkey is overrated IMO, but that's the best thing about droids. Everyone can use what they want/like/use to. Like I mentioned before, I've tried em all. Including swift and honestly I still like Kii better than Gingerbread kB, jellybean kB, Swiftkey, ICS kB, TW kB etc...
But yet again, to each their own...
(Kii with gesture enabled and no sound or vibrate) and it too learns your words and sentences. So much so, that there have been times where it knows my next word and I've typed almost a whole sentence just by hitting the next word it predicted

I'm also one who prefers Kii over swiftkey. I like the layout better. One thing that drives me nuts in swiftkey is the .com button. It shortens the space bar and since I frequently search from the address bar I end up hitting it a lot and inserting a .com in my search.

I was a big supporter of Swiftkey, mainly for the auto correct funtion when typing. I have to say though that if you're addicted to swyping your words as opposed to typing, Google Keyboard is way better at getting it on the first go round. It's great if you need to reply to something, and you need your eyes elsewhere (not encouraging you to do so though )
Anyways, In order of opinion
Google Keyboard
Swiftkey 4
Swype
I'm using the Google Keyboard right now on my S4. I wish the Samsung keyboard worked better with autocorrect, but even with the international version with AC on, it lags behind my typing
SwiftKey Flow
Rooted S4
Just tried the Google kB and gave it a fair run to win me over and I'm still Kii all the way!
