Swype Android Beta!!

Did you guys see the advanced keypad pic on their site?
Swype | Text Input for Screens
I want that keypad lol

You have it, just turn your Droid to Landscape, same as in that pic :-)

BTW, I got the offical Beta for my Droid and for my Wife's Eris, works MUCH better than the previous version


Mine is not black like this

I was talking about the one on the page he linked...

BUT, I agree the other one pictured is VERY COOL!!!
 
I got it too. A few quick observations:


  • Seems more accurate than the leaked version and some ,more frequently used words seem to be higher up the trigger list than they were in the leaked version
  • More responsive, text appears faster and more fluid
  • Auto Capitilize now works, which includes I (I wish my text input on my PC browser had this feature).

So pretty much, all the complaints I had with the leaked version were solved within typing one sentence. Very nice app and a more stable "one-up" to the leaked version.
 
If you start a sentence with "I" it will carry the auto cap over to the second word.

I don't care as much about that as the following:

Where is the double space = period + space?
 
New Swype Beta is much better than the previous version. Thanks for the tip works like a charm love the swype keyboard. Much better than stock. Mine aren't black like the one's on the websites either.

I tried it and cant get it to work at all, it shows my line where i've been swiping, but never inputs the text, if i just tap the word out it works. The leaked swype worked fine for me before.
 
Thanks for this info. Signed up and will dl it and try it out. Been very anxious to use this app and see what the hype is about! Thanks again!

That happens for me too if I manually hit the space key after "I" but doesn't happen if I have the Auto-spacing option enabled, which I do. So with auto-spacing, I just go from one swiped word to the next and it will automatically put a space in between the words and the second word won't be auto-capped.

As for double space = period + space, I think the Swype way of doing it is just swiping from the period key over to the space key. It's just a simple motion and it'll add the period and the space afterwards. I prefer that than having to double tap the space key.
