For people like me who write in languages other than English on a day-to-day basis, it misses the mark entirely, and does not adapt to my writing style either. Ever since I bought my Galaxy Nexus only one Android keyboard has lived up to my expectations &#8212; SwiftKey. And now there&#8217;s a new version, and it&#8217;s even better than ever.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, after a couple beta versions, SwiftKey 4 made its way onto Google&#8217;s Play Store in both smartphone and tablet form. The popular third-party keyboard introduces a plethora of new features, including support for swipe input through Flow and revamped predictions.<\/p>\n<p>SwiftKey 4 also adds &#8220;Flow Through Space&#8221;, a feature that allows users to &#8220;gesture multiple words without lifting a finger&#8221;, improved learning of language and typing style by adapting to the Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, RSS feed and SMS writing style.\u00a0With Flow enabled, however, SwiftKey 4 does not allow the user to swipe backwards to delete the word or swipe down to hide the keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to predictions, the keyboard touts an enhanced language engine as well as predictions in a higher number of text fields. There is also support for 60 languages, with new entries such as Albanian, Bosnian, Japanese, Sundanese, Thai and Vietnamese, as well as easier corrections.<\/p>\n<p>SwiftKey 4 now touts the ability to tap anywhere on a word in order to choose a suitable alternative. A new theme, dubbed Berry, is available for a total of nine options. In landscape mode SwiftKey 4 can now be used in split layout mode.<\/p>\n<p>SwiftKey 4 is available to download from Google Play for <a title=\"SwiftKey Keyboard\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey\" >smartphones<\/a> and <a title=\"SwiftKey Tablet Keyboard\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey.tablet.full&amp;feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnRvdWNodHlwZS5zd2lmdGtleS50YWJsZXQuZnVsbCJd\" >tablets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f9Ukb6Migl0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.betanews.com\/~ff\/bn?a=hX_WiVnIaTU:Nyr3eqrYMR0:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/bn?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.betanews.com\/~ff\/bn?a=hX_WiVnIaTU:Nyr3eqrYMR0:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/bn?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/bn\/~4\/hX_WiVnIaTU\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to be completely honest &#8212; I am not a fan of the default Android keyboard.
