I really don't get how it's so awesome. I have SwiftKey on my android phone and it's never been faster for me to swipe Type vs just tape type with my phone. The predictions are some much easier and cause much less friction than trying to swipe everywhere. Can someone who really loves swipe keyboard explain?

- rcthompson 13y agoSwiftKey is not Swype. I've tried SwiftKey, and whatever algorithm they use to figure out what word you were trying to swipe is terrible. With SwiftKey's swipe typing, certain words are simply impossible to type because there are other more common words along their path. In contrast, with Swype, I can consistently type any word I want to, and do so faster then with tapping each letter individually. Furthermore, since I just have to swipe my finger past each letter, swiping requires less precision than tapping, which requires me to hit the letter exactly.
