I'll be using this keyboard during one month and report back if it's for keeps.Ī combination of Swype and MessagEase would probably be a winner for me. You have to type letter for letter, but with the dictionary installed, it's slightly faster. It's not nearly as forgiving as Swype (when you swipe a letter slightly wrong, you obtain the wrong letter). not where I'd expect them (probably QWERTY getting in the way). I'm testing and using MessagEase at the moment. The word-proposal bar shows/hides while typing, producing a, very irritating, moving-target effect.You can get 'Heineken' by choosing it from the proposed list. The Swype default is picking the closest match of words inside the dictionary. I typed 'Heineken' letter for letter and it was replaced by the same word. I tried to Swype 'Heineken', a word that wasn't in the dictionary.The word-proposal mechanism sometimes gets it wrong*.

You can Swype completely past some letters and still get the correct word. I've tested Swype, and it's very nice because it's very forgiving.

Breaking away from the 'good old' Qwerty.Īre there studies related to typing on the smartphone with different keyboard layout configurations? Are there alternative keyboard layouts available to download and use?Įdit: I've awarded the 100 bonus to the only working non-QWERTY proposal. It's probably a better idea to 'overload' keys and have less, but bigger, ones. On a smartphone, that is completely impossible. The Qwerty keyboard layout was designed for ten-finger typing. I guess most people have the same problem. I have loads of problems with the small keys on my smartphone as my fingers cover them completely.
