A BETTER WAY TO SWIPE YOUR WORDS

Many keyboard apps have invented a way to enter words by scribbling all over the keyboard. If you think this is good, then you should try this app. With this app, you simply need to swipe from the first to the last letter of the word. Then a list of prospective words will appear. If the list is long, then it will be divided into three groups–top 5 words, the next 20 and the rest. Each group will be shown in successively smaller fonts and arranged alphabetically. Most of the time your word will be in the first or second group.

You can even create shortcuts for common phrases such as “See you later.” Once done, this whole phrase can be entered with a single swipe.

We also give you the ability to customize the keyboard’s appearance by choosing colors or with background images.

WE DO NOT COLLECT YOUR KEYSTROKE DATA. Data is collected inside the app to allow the keyboard to adapt to your typing style. However, the only way to get this data out of the app is by using the “Export” options which place the data in a file which is sent out in a manner of your choosing.

Here are the features in more detail.

Fast text entry:
– Words can be entered by dragging from the first to the last letter
– Common phrases such as ‘talk to you later’ can be saved and reentered with a drag from one letter to another. The user can choose any two letter abbreviation
– A history of text field entries is saved and can be shown by dragging from ‘Z’ to ‘X’. Tap any entry to reenter it.
– Intelligent word prediction with learning
– learning also places frequently used words first
– Number row included above keys
