Swype on Samsung Galaxy S review

Av R Nilsson ⋅ ⋅ Kommentera

Swype is just amazing. To state that right away.

The idea with Swype is that you dont lift your finger from the keyboard. Instead you draw a curve over each letter in the word you want to type, and swype types it for you. Sounds strange? It is strange and my first thought was that this is another painful try to make a new newboard for the touchscreens. I have tried a lot over the years and have always gon back to the standard qwerty again. But Swype is different.

My first thought was that this is hard. It must be impossible to draw a curve over just the correct letters when the finger is actually in the way for you to the the keyboard. And yes its hard, but you dont have to. Swype figures out the word even when you do a terrible jobb.

Its like star wars, just trust the force Luke! Draw the curve and voila, there the correct word is. And if Swype is unsure you get a list of suggestions. Swedish is a language with a lot of letters. Take for example the word notebook, in swedish will be anteckningsbok. 14 letters in one word. In the first try it got it right! And I havent even been training.

I just say: whoa! 5 stars!
