SwiftKey Vs. Swype

There are two Android keyboards, SwiftKey and Swype, that attract the Android users and confuse them on which one to choose. Both the applications are impressive and attract the users with its amazing features. Google uses the tablet Honeycomb, which is designed by TouchType that makes Android applications like SwiftKey. Let's look at both the applications in depth before comparing them.

Brief Overview of SwiftKey Technology
SwiftKey keyboards use cloud-based personalization and the concept of artificial intelligence is brought into this small device. The machine has the capability to predict the word that you might type in the keyboard. It can even predict the name of your pet before you actually type it! The wonderful thing about the language engine in the SwiftKey X mobile, is that, it is very intelligent and smart to learn from the kind of words you type in the keyboard and constantly improves its accuracy in its word predictions. It learns from the type of words you use in Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, etc., thus behaving like your personalized device. The learned data will remain stored in your device and even upgrading the software won't affect the language data but uninstalling will. SwiftKey even suggests punctuation marks like commas, question marks, periods, etc., in your messages. In this way, artificial intelligence programming in this device is made use of.

The additional features of SwiftKey are attractive keyboard layouts and language packs that cover most of the major European languages. Even though SwiftKey is known for its word predictions, don’t expect that it can predict website URLs and email addresses on its own. Android devices use SwiftKey technology and it is very popular in the market. This is what Jonathan Reynolds (CEO and co-founder of TouchType) has to say: "SwiftKey has already been a remarkable success on Android; it's been downloaded more than a million times and is used to send over 100 million messages each month".
