Android users are in for a bit of surprise as Nuance has begun employing Google Play as a platform to make Swype accessible across devices, but this unfortunately doesn’t come without a price. The recently bumped up software stands at version 1.5 and can be downloaded in exchange of $0.99 via the digital outlet.
In any case, the amount shouldn’t bother those who consider texting a significant part of their lives, seeing as the features it drags in. The app aims to serve a large sector of consumers, offering solutions to enhance the typing speed and quality.
The first category in the company’s list is the one including people who depend on the app’s traditional method of texting. With the help of only one finger, the utility allows Android loyalists to frame an entire sentence by rendering the ability to pause only between words. This attribute is complemented by the XT9 dictionary option which forecasts not only words, but also phrases while users are in the process of messaging.
Next in line are those whom the company likes to call ‘Typers’. According to the makers, those belonging to this section utilize both their hands for faster input and are so well-versed with the placement of keys that looking at the screen seems irrelevant while typing. Naturally, this could lead to misspellings at times. This is exactly the field where the app seems to step forward and offer its expertise.
Owing to its Sloppy Type algorithm and Smart Touch, users should be able to avoid such errors, especially since the latter adjusts to people’s texting style. To elaborate, if a wrong key is punched repeatedly, like ‘I’ instead of ‘O’, this feature automatically ensures usage of the apt letter over a period of time.
To make messaging more convenient, the company has furthermore presented an option to tap words as they appear while typing. Thanks to the powerful language models which the maker ever so proudly highlights, this feature intuitively suggests phrases as well.
Any finally, for those out there who loathe typing out every emotion or simply have their hands full of something more important, the utility lays on the table the Dictator attribute. This feature turns speech to text as soon as the Dragon flame button on the app’s keyboard is punched.
Downloading Swype through Google Play will also grant users some additional benefits. For instance, the app now supports over 20 dialects and also proffers a flurry of keyboard themes – thirteen to be precise. Moreover, in the event that people are unsure of shelling out the stated amount, they can opt to experience the service’s perquisites using a 30-day free trial.
