iPhone How is the swype Keyboard (poll)

[Shirasaki]

Tried swipe keyboard, and found it pretty much only looks cool to me, and does not necessarily speed up typing that much ether. I’d prefer using Keyboard folio when I can sort of swipe through keys because of low key travel.

As for the auto correct, I don't even know how many times it tries to correct me to “fall” when I actually mean “fail”, and “bear” instead of “near”. I don't think “LvB1 car park bear CS 109” makes any sense whatsoever.

What I want is a better way to type words with double letters or letters that needs more than one reverse direction swipe.

This is reminiscent of Apple Maps’ introduction: Apple elected to reproduce an app/feature that had been around for awhile and was generally liked in its present (third party) form. Apple needed to play catch up with its own implementation of the feature leading to unfavorable comparisons to the existing feature (which itself had gone through a similar “learning curve”, but years earlier when expectations were lower). Apple then spends several years catching up. The feature (at least in the case of Maps) then reaches rough functional and feature parity with the third party feature, but the reputational damage done by the early implementation issues has forever damaged the brand of the Apple feature.

Hopefully this is not how things play out with QuickPath (how many of you, if you are honest, even knew that this was the Apple swipe type feature’s name?)

Does it learn? If a word is not in its dictionary, but I type it manually, will it learn it, so that I can swipe it next time?
Does it forget incorrectly predicted words? I mean, if it suggests a certain word a few times and I reject it every time, will it stop suggesting it in the future? Or can I specifically tell it "do not suggest this word ever again"?

German words are not so easy. And my keyboard is changing the word „is“ to „IS“. lol. And I never write that.

I have been using it through the last few betas and have found it’s ability to learn very stunted. No place to add not forbid words.

Frustrating design.

Really wishing it were included in iPad OS for the full size keyboards. Holding the iPad with one hand and swiping words with the other would be great.

Agree. Best thing to do is to submit this as a suggestion using the feedback app.

it learns some words.However it seems pretty suspicious how hard it seems to try to avoid words like f*ck or c*ck. As in deliberatly trying not to use them: like if they were part of a "ban list".

Excuse me but I really don't need the morality police controlling what words I type (or swipe)

I keep forgetting about swiping the keys on the PB. But the handful of times that I have used swipe, it has been accurate.
