SWYPE should incorporate with multitouch support... that would SLAY the time in half.... we are talking 14 seconds for that phrase..... if only we all had something that important to text in such lightening speeds..... most of which tend to be just "Sup". And seriously, who types out: "Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus" anyway? wonder if voice to text could beat that.....

Really, what was with all the dots. Does it take you that long to think about the next irrational statement? Multitouch could not work well. The learning curve would be so large that, as some below have said for basic swipe, the persons IQ would need to be over 130. This would still not give them the simple ability to use both hands at once and in the proper order every time to prevent errors. As for voice to text, this is a great idea in concept. The problem is if we are all talking into our phones to text back and forth what the hell is the point of texting at all? Just make a call. Texting is to be silent and send messages without talking finding one finger messaging tools to speed this up is where we need to focus.

"The problem is if we are all talking into our phones to text back and forth what the hell is the point of texting at all? Just make a call." I somewhat agree with you but it doesn't sound like you've actually used speech-to-text on a daily basis. You should first understand the benefits of texting vs making a phone call. A text is a great way to passively send your thoughts without actually stopping the other person from interacting with whatever they are doing to actively have a conversation. Sometimes the issue is unimportant and does not actually require starting up a conversation. Speech to text works great in conjunction with this "communication prioritization and transmittal." In my state of Washington there is a hands free law that requires the phone not be held up to your head. You can still hold it while it's on speaker phone, but you're also not allowed to text. I can dictate to my phone whenever I'm driving in my truck and still send that message out without really taking my eyes off the road for more than one second at a time. The only issue with speech to text and beating this "cellular phone typing record" which at this point I almost would disagree with calling it the fastest text, cus people aren't even sending a text message they're writing it into notepad. But speech to text fails at punctuation. So all the commas, periods and also capitalization would be lost.

haha, I liked that last statement you had. We have the same type of laws where I live. I have used voice to text for some time and have seen it grow from a total waste of time to a respectable tool. Personaly i feel that the usefulness is weak when it comes to texting in a regular situation. The car i can justify as hands free is the way to go. But the full voice to text should be accessable from the car not the phone. That the tool should require not more than one press of the button. It is a hard sell for me. :-D ill miss all of the periods and caps lock monsters.

I don't really hate it, but it doesn't really improve typing speed for me that much, so I just disabled it

I've noticed it works amazing when using the phone one-handed, but two-handed I prefer the regular keyboard, or Better Keyboard.

How is that possible? Swype make thing so very much faster that the hardware keyboard is rendered obsolete.

Swype is really effective if you take the time to just get used to it. It's like back when there were no keyboards and most people used the abc form of texting on the keypads and trying to make the adjustment to T9word. You just have to put it up and use it for a few days and before you know it it will become the normal form of texting for you.

Cigshome is a entourage, specializing in making newport cigarettes as a replacement for tons years. And our products won over well all throughout the America. We suggest the fresh cigarettes with considerable distinction and stumpy price. But what fetch us do this succesfully, that is the persuasion, onerous work and so on.

And knowledge is needed at all times and places. When we are present to find out a passable assign, we need it. When we fancy to roost some problems, we also need it. A coward could only just flawless a thorny job successfully, as they can not break those difficulties bravely through themselves. They have a stab to take a run-out powder away from he problems as low as possible. Then they misplace a lot of good chances. Some lost chances not return. So celebrity belongs to the stalwart man. As they have the courage to pretence difficulties. Courage makes them seize those rare opportunities and do the operation well. Faith is a well-meaning of flourishing power. When we hand over up our tendency to do something, we hold we will be booming finally. It makes us sanguine in doing a thing. So no incident how unyielding the peg away is we could execute it at form because of the faith. And smoking newport menthol cigarettes is like a true servant .
Beyond, the skill of getting along profoundly with other people is very distinguished too. menthol cigarettes be enduring a very wish record . if you like to get base newport cigarettes , acceptable the newport cigarettes website . Because we live in the society, and we have need of to deal with various press. Yearn everyone has a exuberant life .
