Swype Beta for Android

05 March 2010 by David Junior



Swype has just opened up a beta program for the Android platform. If you have a myTouch Fender Edition, you can go back to sleep now. But for the rest of us, head over to Swype Beta site and register to become a tester.

Details:

# The beta test is open to a limited number of people. (If you want it, hurry up.)
# English and Spanish for now.
# This version is limited, compared to what you get when Swype is built in to a phone.
# HVGA and WGVA resolutions only.
# Support is done via forums.
# And if you already have Swype , don’t download this one. It work work.

  1. I like Beta testing,Is Really fun
  2. I'm testing it out now. IDK but so far it's not working well for me. Everything I type brings up the suggestions box and none of the words are correct.

    Guess it's just going to take a little bit of time , like a learning curve maybe. Because it's really just not going well for me so far lol
  3. Just downloaded it, guess I'll give it a try.
  4. Well after just a few minutes of playing with it, It is working pretty well actually!

    I may end up using this as default for now on
  5. Might have to give this a try.
  6. i'm not sure how much i like this.. swype is getting a lot of hype, but i don't see it as being too awesome. i remember using touchpal a looong time ago, and the swiping to get capital letters seemed cool, but it left streaks on my screen like crazy. maybe it's just humid georgia that's gonna make swyping really hard and nasty..
  7. This is not working for me. When I swype to type, nothing gets inputted into the text box. But if I hit the characters in the virtual keyboard individually, it types.
  8. Uhhh.... did you change the input method properly? Is it actually using the Swype keyboard?! Swype works fine for me on my NexusOne.

    If you did not change the input method you need to long press on the text input box and choose Swype Keyboard rather than the standard one. You can revert back at any time.
  9. Swype just set a new record for fastest typing on a mobile device.

    thanks Jas0n
  11. impressive that they broke the record. but how many practice runs did it take?

    but for everyday use, I've found swype to be extremely annoying to use and uninstalled it.

    i wanted to give it a try after i read this article but after reading how it worked for most, i decided againts it.
  13. yeah swype just takes a second to get usedd to but once you are used to it, you can type very fast with little or no mistakes
