![]() TouchPal offers glide typing as well as predictive text feature, but there is also a third way called Wave. ![]() To use that, you will need to move your fingers across the keyboard, going from letter to letter to let SwiftKey predict the possible outcomes. SwiftKey also offers the glide typing feature called Flow. As you begin typing, the app will start suggesting words based on its learning from previously typed texts. In SwiftKey, there is the regular predictive keyboard that you usually use. Also, TouchPal did a lousy job at predicting names (not even my name) despite permitting it to sync contacts. However, SwiftKey did a better job of predicting words than TouchPal. Typing experience on both the apps was similar. You can also import contact names for helping you type long names easily. TouchPal will pull words only from Twitter, and the setting for the same is available under Prediction in app settings. TouchPal also has a decent interface where clicking on the logo on the upper left will give you access to more options and settings. The interface is very clean and functional with all the options easily accessible on clicking the ‘+’ icon. SwiftKey does that to create a dictionary of custom words and learn from your typing habits to predict better. When you create an account on SwiftKey, it will ask you to provide access to your Gmail, Facebook, and Twitter accounts. Let’s find out what’s under the hood and how do they stack up against each other. SwiftKey, now owned by Microsoft, comes with language translation and Calendar integration to help you get more out of your typing experience.
