Post SwiftKey X : Intelligent Keyboard for your Android Device


SwiftKey needs no introduction, the eerily accurate prediction of this keyboard app is a boon for Android Devices. Within a few weeks of its release it became one of the top selling apps in Android market. It learns the words you type and learns words from your sent SMS and updates its dictionary accordingly and the predictions are quite accurate.


SwiftKey VS Default GB Keyboard.





Now they took it a step further and have upgraded the app to learn words from your Gmail account, Facebook & Twitter Feeds. Keyboard can be themed now with the new version which is still in its beta stage.



If you observe the above image, once I typed swiftkey, it automatically predicted the next word to be keyboard.
Few more screenshots below.

Spoiler:




They have also developed a split keyboard for easier typing on Android tablets, looks like Apple got inspired from this and implemented a similar keyboard for iPad in iOS5




This beta app is free to use till 14th Aug-2011 after which it will be a paid app, Those who have been using paid version of swiftKey can upgrade to this for free


Follow SwiftKey on Facebook, Twitter

YOUR MESSAGES
READ SMS OR MMS
Allows application to read SMS messages stored on your device or SIM card. Malicious applications may read your confidential messages.


you my friend , have no idea what and why it is so. It learns as you type. It reads all your SMS and stores words in its dictionary if absent ( Eg. Hindi words

this way if you use that hindi word , it will auto pop-up while typing.

and there is no app in market which will send sensitive data. if it exists then google will remove it.
