The original Samsung Galaxy Tab had Swype, and it was a nightmare to use. Swype obviously understood that, and have introduced a heap of tablet-friendly updates for version 3.0, including predictive tapping, adjustable keyboard sizes and adjustable keyboard positions. Hopefully it will make typing on Android tablets a much more enjoyable experience…
This is so cool. Hank Torres is paralysed from the shoulder down but with the use of Swype and a head tracking device he was able to set the Guinness World Record for fastest hands free typing.
Swype has been my favourite way to type on an Android phone, but it’s been kinda limited in what phones can run the keyboard software. Until now! All you have to do is register at Swype and download.
Crazy texting app Swype has broken its previous record for the world’s fastest texting, with a British woman texting the Guinness Book of World Record’s tricky phrase in just 25.94 seconds on a Samsung Galaxy S phone.
The Swype text entry interface that’s been tearing up Android phones, World Records and maybe iPhones was spotted doing more of the same on a large touchscreen at the Microsoft Worldwide Partners Conference. Spoiler: It looks like Swype, but bigger:
It’s not just Android that Swype, the company which pioneered an ultra-fast texting method, has its eyes on – they’re apparently developing an iPhone version, which they’re hoping Apple will have no objections to.
It set a Guinness World Record for fastest texting ever, and finally it’ll be available for Android phones from today, TechCrunch is claiming.
