Which 3rd Party Keyboard will you choose?

[kataran]

Before writing off the new 3rd Party keyboards people should really give them a chance and more than for just a day. To use something like Swiftkey to its full potential you really need to learn and tweak the settings to make it best for you. Also you can have it scan Facebook, twitter, gmail, SMS, etc etc. and have them add all that content you have typed to your dictionary. After using it for about a week or a little longer it will pick up on your common words and phrases and really start knowing your predictions to the point that it is scary. Stock iOS keyboard is good and I have used it extensively, but it can't touch the predictions/customization on Swiftkey, if you are a fast typist on stock give Swiftkey a chance to learn and you will be even faster. Oh and cloud saving in Swiftkey is a nice feature too.

So what your saying you can scan old text convos so it can learn how you throw your jib

That's cool I will have to check that out

At least for Android. I imagine it will carry over it is a big selling point. Here are the available things to scan. They may add more for ios.

I gave it a good try on Android & it just doesn't work that great for me. For emails its cool because I'm typing in a formal fashion but in my casual word, no. Maybe it just doesn't understand Patois or Creole but stock has proven to be much closer for me.

You speak Creole. Are you Cape Verdean?

No. I have a bunch of Haitian cousins & growing up with them them I learned to speak it.

Edit: I hear Cape Verde is a beautiful place

That looked like one of the stock keyboards for a character-based language, possibly kanji

Stock... Been enjoying using it on my iOS 8 device.

 

[Speedygi]

Not sure if I need a third party keyboard, but I would surely check out swiftkey when it gets on there.

 

[Davingtons]

I'll probably stay with the stock one as I can type well with it. I'll try others out though and see how they go.

I've used swype style keyboards before, and although I like them, I always go back to the stock keyboard in the end.

 

[Not Quite Right]

Swiftkey for me. It has everything I need in a keyboard.

Ditto! I wanted Apple to buy Swiftkey, and make it the default keyboard the first time I ever tried it ...

 

[mumfoau]

I'm chomping at the bit to try Swype on iOS!

 

[williamsbh76]

I'm not familiar with any of them but definitely want to try them out. Isn't one of them similar to BlackBerry's Z10 virtual keyboard?

 

[jaymojones]

I can't wait to give Swiftkey a go on here. That was my go to keyboard on Android.

Swiftkey.

 

[logvkp]

I'm thinking about one of the swiping keyboards. The iphone is a bit small and these will probably speed up my typing and lower my mistakes. I'm leaning more toward Swiftkey

 

[Paul Ellis1]

Really can't wait to get swiftkey on here. Tried a few different ones while having a recent stint on android and that was by far the best one for me. I will definitely give the stick keyboard a fair go first

I still use a Droid and have been a holdout for iPhone because they NEVER had Swype - I'm a Swype addict and can type using it faster than the speed of light. I will be making the move to iPhone with the new 6 in the fall. Never thought I'd switch. :lips-sealed:
