It's interesting but I wish I could still Swype on it
- jama211 7mo agoWait this keyboard doesn’t support swipe typing? Hmmmm
- ruined 7mo agosort of. swiping triggers every letter you cross
- jerf 7mo agoOh dear. I'm afraid I'm not going to the take the requisite dozens of hours to be sure by learning this keyboard and making a truly "fair" comparison, but I'd bet I'm faster swiping with the current keyboard than I would be on this one. Swiping is why I can use words like "comparison" or "requisite" on a phone without giving it much thought anymore. I'm still faster on a real keyboard, especially as I rarely get those "tried to write 'hello', got 'grump'" sorts of errors with a keyboard, but it's a lot closer than it was when mobile devices first came out out and Palm's Graffiti input was considered a major breakthrough. (Laughable by modern standards.)
- jama211 7mo agoThat’s a bit different
- papaly1983 7mo agoExactly! That's the main innovation. What you can build on top (like a text algorithm) is adding speed and efficiency.
- papaly1983 7mo agoBecause is a huge effort to make a full swipe algorithm based on a potential custom layout and Keybee keyboard is still a one person project. Marco.
- jama211 7mo agoYeah I mean that makes perfect sense, just means it’s probably not for me. Best of luck to them though
