I've been swyping since it was its own app. I think I paid for it on the play store.
Love to Swype.

Era, do you type or do you swype?

I had never heard the term swype until this thread and I wish it had stayed that way.
I also attempted to swipe this post but the spelling errors made me lose more time than I gained.

This.
All these years later and nobody's perfected the keyboard like Windows Phone did.
Same, especially the part about the iPad's keyboard.
Also, I swear Apple's keyboard has gotten worse over the years. Part of me suspects that they are still using a heuristics model from the iphone 4 days, because if I dig out my old iphone 5, my typing accuracy goes way up.
This for me. Maybe it's because I spent decades typing on a physical keyboard.
Type. Tried many varations of swyping with different keyboards but I'm always faster with typing.
swype but i feel stock swyping sucks balls compared to swyping back then when i used custom roms on my phones it just doesnt feel as smooth and intuitive as i got used to so i dont know if the swipe was tweaked too in the custom ROM
fuck is that why swiping feels less good than it did back then? it all makes sense now (around the kitkat era and up)

Please tell me that's true because I'm not sure if Apple's keyboard is getting worse or I'm just getting old and bad at typing on mobile
The auto correct is completely busted at this point though, when I type my name it gets FULLY CAPITALIZED no matter what
I try to swipe but it's extremely difficult with my brain wanting to accurately write out the word. I also have this placebo effect of feeing as if typing is faster than swiping, because of the motion input. Granted, when making mistakes and wanting to delete words it is easier to delete swiped ones.
As others have said though, the typing and swiping on iOS has become incredibly inaccurate with a range of misspelt words or suggestions. Is there any suggested keyboard that does a better job then Apple's built in keyboard? Granted I suck at typing on mobile phones anyway, just feels like it intentionally recognises the letter next to the one I selected.

I don't even understand how people swipe to text. Whenever I try it never types anything close to what I wanted to say.
it's impossible to swipe for me, i never get what i want to type
man i miss physical keyboards too, blackberries were great for that

Swiping when it takes. Funnily, I can't get it to take swiping, it keeps putting selling instead. The rest is typed by swiping. Athough not without mistakes. Samsung keyboard here.
All swipe without corrections. It can be iffy:
Selling when it teaches. Funnily, I can't get it to take swing, it iris putting doing instead. The rest is typed by swiping, athough not without migrates. Samsung irises here.

Been swiping since it was introduced. The extra effort of typing just seems absurd to me.
There are consistent mismatches with swiping though, where really common words are invariably misread as something obscure.
The most common for me is 'anything' ... I can get it if I'm very careful about it; but more often I end up with scurrying, abutting, or scything ... Like when the fuck do I ever use any of those ...

It's where your drag your thumb all around the phone's/tablet's keyboard per word, lift so the words input, rinse & repeat. It works like magic.
I imagine nearly all regular typers are on iOS as they were late as fuck to the game having zero way to swype type unless jailbroken (where it worked amazingly well.)
Gboard thankfully exists now on iOS if you wanted to try it and are on that platform.
Had to look up a video for demonstration. I don't think it would work for me, my swipings would be way too inaccurate. Also since I'm typing in multiple languages, my auto-correct constantly messes up even the simplest of words. Curious to give this a go though, just to see how it works (or doesn't).
idk lol
some words are typed and others (more complicated ones, with "ç" or accents) swypped
I gave it a go for this and it actually Wasn't too bad to do though in think that it was easier to type what in wanted I also don't know how to get punctuation. without typing again so possibly not the best also am If supposed to lift my finger after swiping the letters each time? But it isn't too bad overall
The algorithm in the keyboard app figures it out for you. It also learns. Like I said, magic!
Multiple languages would likely be an issue but you can make your own dictionary to offload some.
I can swype pretty damn inaccurately and it still picks up the words I meant.
