Believe it or not, Swype first came out with the Samsung Omnia II on Windows Mobile. Then it docks to Android. Since then, Swype has rocked the custom keyboard market. It was the first keyboard to integrate gesture-based input on the keyboard – a feature that Android itself would later copy. It makes swiping your finger across the keys not only fun, but really effective.
But Swype isn’t just great at gesture-based input. It’s a solid keyboard replacement on its own merits. The keys are nicely placed, have multiple themes, and not to mention a great predictor.
After dominating Android for a while (and then facing stiff competition with SwiftKey), Swype arrived on iOS but as a jailbroken app that was never really stable.
Now, however, thanks to iOS 8’s built-in custom keyboard support, Swype is back in official form. To know how it works and how to enable it in iOS 8, read on.
Download and enable Swype
First, make sure you’re running iOS 8. To do this, go to Setting -> overview -> About and find the version number.
Now download Swype from the App Store. It costs $0.99 and is totally worth it.
Once installed, open the app and it will guide you through the setup process. To enable Swype, here’s what you need to do.
Go Setting ->overview -> keyboardclick Keyboards options and choose Add new keyboard.
From here allow claw.
Now go to any text editing app to bring up the Apple keyboard.
press and hold Sphere icon and select claw. That’s it. You have successfully changed your keyboard to claw.
Swype won’t work when entering passwords: As a security measure, Apple disables any third-party keyboards when you enter your password and username on the login page of a website or app. This is to ensure that third parties do not record your password keystrokes.
Swype works as well as you’d expect
I’ve spent some time testing this app, and even though it’s just getting started, I’m already impressed. Swype is using its experience and data analysis from various platforms over the past few years and the result is an app that doesn’t look like version 1.0. It feels a lot more mature.
The keystrokes are timely and there’s a satisfying click (something we’re all used to on iOS). It doesn’t skip a beat. Gesture-based input is smooth and well-suited for lazy/one-handed typing occasions. Typing is just too fast!
If you’re using a larger iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, this gesture mode will come in really handy.
