Swipe-based touch keyboards don't work for me. Compared to touch-tapping, I find I have worse accuracy. I also find them much more frustrating, because correcting a swipe mistake is a lot more expensive compared to tap mistake. At least when tapping, I get steady and immediate feedback when spelling out a word, and I can fix a mistake quickly just using backspace and without much thought, and then carry on as usual. But with the swipe keyboards I tried, I find out about mistakes only after I spelled out a whole word, and at that point it's really awkward to fix without breaking my flow. Often what happens in my case is that all the autosuggestions are way off the mark.
- Fnoord 9y agoDoes anyone have any research on the effectiveness of swype-based keyboards? Accuracy and correcting mistakes based on dictionaries? How does age and previous experience affect the use cases? Keybee has suggestions support based on AOSP dictionaries, by default off.
