SwiftKey has released their tablet version for beta testing. You can sign up for an account at www.swiftkey.net/vip to be a part of the beta testing program.
I signed up for the SwiftKey Vip account and was confirmed within 5 minutes and was able to download the beta right away. I am running Calkulins rom with clemsyns latest kernel and was able to get it installed. Once you install it you need to go into the language and keyboard settings and then to the swiftkey settings and install a language pack before attempting to use it or it will force close on you. As of right now I think I will be sticking with thumb keyboard as my primary keyboard though as swiftkeys keys are a little bit small for me.
Thank you, registered and received login almost instantly, using new keyboard to type this.

madj1,
I like the neon (HC looking) keyboard theme.
Although, it took almost a day for the administrator to approve my access to the forum. Otherwise, I think it was worth getting. Thanks!!!
After the beta, will they lock the app and require purchase like on other android devices?
What's different?
Can someone list the differences between the version that is in the Market now and this "tablet" version? Screencaps would be great too.
Thanks in advance.
Rapidly has become my favorite
On Sunday Amazon App store had the paid std swiftkey for free. I installed it, downloaded the language pack, and within 2 days it has become my keyboard of choice.
See attached screencaps of the version, and features

Anyone? What is the difference between the tablet beta Swiftkey and the current Market version? I was hoping they would divide up the keyboard like the TnT keyboard so that my thumbs won't have to hyper-extend to get at the center keys.
I've been using the Market version for about a week now and honestly for me it's not all that great. The word predictions are cool and work about 60% of the time but if I have to type the entire word it's awkward for my thumbs to reach the center keys. And I have pretty big hands; I can't imagine how much more awkward it would be for folks with smaller hands.
Between the TnT keyboard, the Swype keyboard, and the Swiftkey keyboard I would have to say my preference is in that order at the moment (TnT, Swype, and Swiftkey).

I find the swiftkey to be similar to TNT western, with arrow keys (a must for me), works better in portrait mode than TNT western, I like the android keyboard but was using the notion ink keyboard exclusively as it had easy access to the arrow keys,
I use a standard 3-4 finger typing method so don't have a thumb reaching issue, needless to say the tab is propped up (inclined) when I type.
Swiftkey beta
I ran the Swiftkey beta on my Droid1 and when it came out of beta they sent me an email telling me I could upgrade for free.

Does anyone have a lead on a SIP that will do straight up old-school style text messaging? All I'm looking for is a SIP that kinda looks like:
123
456
789
*0#
All I want is to be able to hit a button, it will hold on the letter for just a moment so you can press again, or move to the next digit. No predictive t9, no having to hit superfluous buttons to actually input the word. Just real old school texting. Even a way to do this via customizing an existing SIP would suffice.

and u would want this on the wing because???
Easy - one handed texting and text input when the situation calls for it. I mean, why does M$ put in a SIP on our devices to begin with? Not like we don't have that full blown keyboard under there. I want something that I can use on the fly that doesn't require manual dexterity or practice to get use to.
There's one floating around somewhere...I had it on my Wing before I flashed the 6.1 on it...gotta see if I can find it again...it also did T9 as well..I got a email from Handango that there is a program that has two letters a key like the Pearl, or Shadow and you can text that way....costs money though
how about the touch keypad and keyboard ?
I use TouchPAL by cootek or something like that for one handed texting, and I have found it to be quite useful.
They were giving it away for free on their site .. and then they offer a pro version which has predictive text... I dunno if they are still doing that.

Have been admiring GTX Style for long and waiting someone to make similar skin for Swype. I came across Lycox's GTX Skin for EzInput so i started doing it myself with his help. Project is almost complete.
Code:
Release 1
change qwerty y and z in normal mode Done
fixed button location issue Done
New high resolution graphics thankx to.. Done
Fixed caps button in portrait Done
Although there is room for alot of improvement but it will be done one by one.
....A BIG THANKS TO LYCOX FOR HIS GTX RESOURCES....
Reserved....
id be willing to beta test if u need me to just pm me if u do. also i like the keyboard but i was wondering if u could do this skin for swype 2.0 as well i like 2.0 better
ill gladly beta test, send me a pm
I'm up for beta testing as well. This looks great!
I will be your beta test, send me a pm
I am up for testing, looks great already have ezinput gtx, to have 3.9 finally is going to be great.
Looking good, I'll be interested in making this the default skin for Swype once it's released. One thing I've noticed though, the gradient is the wrong way round except for image 2.
That's my first name: beta
Im up for some testing. Send me a DL
Wonder what gives, says beta testers need, many offers but no response? I was getting excited for this...any idea as to when we might get testing/beta/release material?
Beta testing has started. Sory for the delay. have been too busy.
It is highly impressive works smoothly on my device only thing i would do to make it better is when u hit the sym key until it gets to the buttons with copy and paste and all that i would change the the color of the letters from white to grey or just a darker color. if you dont kno what i mean ill post an image later at request
I installed your beta version and it for some odd reason totally broke swype. when I click the swype icon to bring it up it pops up for a split second and for that split second I see the original skin then disappears

Worked fine for me, swype was installed from cab then this skin... Great work only problem i see so far is that when touching a button the pressed black key is offset top row fine, the middle and bottom rows are off, not really a big deal though.

thanx. find more and report, if any
I've been trying the beta as soon as I received it and I'm loving it. I didn't see any bugs besides what's already mentioned.
The overlay issue isn't as bad in landscape mode but it would certainly be awesome if that can be fixed somehow.
Oh, and I agree with khalidabuu. The text in the "edit" view would look better if it was darker. Same goes for the language symbol (the "en" above "q" in the main view and in the same area in the "sym" view).
Any updates comming, anything we can do to help with positioning issue>?
I just found out that Smart Keyboard Pro has a config switch to disable switching to full-screen in landscape mode. This makes it work in landscape like original TnT keyboard - entry field does not cover the whole screen. This fixes one of TnT(lite) issues for me. Perhaps it could be useful to someone who needs a soft keyboard with support for other languages. Not sure if there are other/free keyboards which support such option, I decided a few euros is not that bad for a keyboard with so many options
Ultra Keyboard as has No Fullscreen Mode
Ultra keyboard has this as well, it also has some nice tools above the keyboard like selecting text, cut, copy paste. It also has cursor keys as well as trace(Swype) support. You can configure it to use trace mode all the time or on either portrait or landscape mode. I like to use it only in portrait, as the landscape mode means my finger has to do a lot of traveling. Trace is not as nice as swype, but works fairly well. The cursor keys included on both portrait and landscape keyboards make it fairly easy to correct any typos.
Yeah, Ultra has some really nice features, however it is unaware of non-latin characters, which kind of defies the purpose for me, I could type in English using TnT keyboard. If it had more languages I'd switch to it from Smart.
I am using the Ultra keyboard trial but haven't been able to figure out how to make it work full width. The tool bar is, but not the keys. What am I missing? Besides probably a brain

I've started using Thumb Keyboard, which costs $1.99 but which has a great split keyboard in landscape for comfortable thumb typing while holding the tab. Autocomplete was just added, but I'm not sure which languages it supports. It's in the Market.
It's not 100% ready for prime time, but I love having a keyboard like this. My thumbs were taking a beating trying to use a full-width keyboard. (Tiny girl hands!)
Thanks for the tip on Thumb Keyboard, I bought it and am typing with it right now. (It was only $1.33 for me fyi.) Much closer to what I wanted from the keyboard, now I can hit all the letters with my thumbs. The space bars are still a little far for my liking, but not too bad. App looks like it's pretty new, so hopefully it'll keep getting updates.

Oops, yeah, I think you're right on the price. But I'm glad you're using it! It's just what I wanted/needed, especially after ending up with my thumb in a splint after a week of heavy use of the default keyboard! This is much less of a strain.
Swype v3.5 BETA released!
What's so special about Swype v3.5 Beta Release?
Tap Correction
In v3 of Swype, we're introducing full tap correction functionality.
Having trouble getting the hang of Swype and just want to tap for a little while?
Prefer to tap out some words while Swyping others?
No need to switch keyboards!
Swype's powerful tap prediction and correction engine is based on
many of the same principles that make Swyping so effective.
We emphasize speed over accuracy, so tap away with reckless abandon,
and Swype will still make sure you're getting the words you want.
Automatic tap correction is enabled by default,
but you can control exactly how it behaves through the new
"Word Suggestion" category in Swype's settings screen.
Simply long-press the Swype key,
choose "Options" and then go to "Word Suggestion."
You'll be able to set whether corrections happen automatically,
whether Swype shows the actual tapped characters or
the first suggestion in the active text field,
and whether to show word suggestions at all.
Horizontal Word Choice List (HWCL)
While the pop-up Word Choice Window served us well for a long time,
we have decided to utilize
Android's built-in horizontal word choice list functionality,
bringing us in line with evolving input standards.
Now, when you tap or Swype a word,
suggestions will be displayed in a scrollable horizontal list above the keyboard.
This has several major advantages:
No matter what happens,
when you Swype something,
a word will always be entered into the active text field.
We're able to display more suggestions at a time.
When you tap out a word, the characters you actually tapped,
regardless of predictions,
will appear at the beginning of the suggestion list.
Choosing to use a word you tapped in,
when it's not in our dictionary,
it will offer option to add word to your dictionary via the HWCL;
no more automatically adding misspelled words to the dictionary.
Honeycomb support
It's not related to our Nexus S, so I take it off
Licensing Fix
Swype will no longer fail to license after rebooting,
with the error "Swype is configured for another device."
This issue was due to a feature of new phones called "quickboot"
and has been resolved.
On CDMA devices,
Swype was unable to authorize its licensw,
when the device was in Airplane Mode.
Now, if Swype detects that your device is in Airplane Mode,
things will continue running as they should.

I've been rocking swype since day 1 and absolutely love it. The new version definitely has some noticeable upgrades, but one issue I'm having with the suggestion box is that it pops up when I swype passwords, revealing my password. Is there a way to turn this feature off when swyping in a password dialogue box? Otherwise I will have to downgrade to the previous version of swype as it was "smart" enough to realize this.
Swyped from my iPhone killer/HTC Desire
I'm not having the same problem with passwords, so long as the web site hides it as I input it.
Loving version 3, btw....

it isnt working for me
I get the keyboard, but when i try to use swype it doesnt input the letters
I see the trail.
I can type the letters in though
Was able too access the site and download the beta ask on my phone. Loving the swype action as we speak

Working great on my nexus, seems more accurate then before and love the prediction box at the top

Hey Tank. That has happened to me occasionally. Pretty simple fix. Long press on the input bar and select input method. Select the android keyboard. Then long press again, input method, select swype. It kind of reboots it I guess. Shouldn't have any more problems from then on.
3.6 is out. Swype installer will load it for you
Impressed myself
I really like the changes
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I got an email today saying that the new one was available.
I really like the changes they made.
I did have to delete the old one a re-install/install the new one.
works great and haven't gotten a prior problem of needing to select input method every other text.
I never been able to figure out of you can do something about this.
My only gripe with Swype is if you hit the SYM key to press ? you have to hit the SYM key again to switch back to the QWERY layout. This sole reason alone is why I continue to go back to the stock keyboard.
OP, your font for the swype keyboard is different than mine. Mine is terrible; frail looking. I want to use swype but that alone kills it for me. Does anyone know how to change the font for swype?
God help you if ur on miui rom and want this ver of swype. I don't even know which combination worked to get it to license, but biggest PITA..
If anyone needs help tho (re miui) , feel free to ask or pm me.

You have create your own keyboard images to change the font. It is a rather long process.
That's the same font mine came with.

From the creators of Sliding Messaging Pro (@klinkdawg24 and I), we wanted to announce our newest project for you guys today! Sliding Emoji Keyboard!
Play Store description:
PLEASE READ:
--- If you don't read it, it will be very obvious to us and we WILL NOT be willing to help you. You have been warned. ---
This is a standalone keyboard that we have created with our app Sliding Messaging Pro. It is baked into that app, so there is no need to download here if you are only using it for that app, but we wanted to add it for anyone to use, even if you don't support us through that app.
This keyboard only supports Google's new Google+ emojis, the ones in their hangouts app.
NOTE: This app will NOT actually show the emojis in the text box or on the device unless your system supports them! Please understand this! We have no way to add support for that from this app. If you would like to get that working, you will have to have a rooted phone and change the system font to one that supports Google's emojis.
Even though it doesn't show them correctly in the text boxes, when you send the message/tweet/email or whatever you are using it for, they will show up correctly, again as long as the app supports Google's new emojis. The recipient will receive them fine as well, as long as their phone has emoji support. They will be received fine on any iOS devices and any messaging app for Android that supports them. Almost all do by now.
To actually see the emojis in the app, you will have to install an app that supports them. Examples of this would be: Sliding Messaging Pro, WhatsApp, Hangouts, and many more, you will have to find out yourself if the app you want to use our keyboard with supports them.
--- How to Enable/Use ---
To enable the "Sliding Emoji Keyboard", go to Setting -> Language & Keyboard, then check the "Sliding Emoji Keyboard" to enable it.
To use "Sliding Emoji Keyboard", you need to change the input method:
- In Android 2.3 and below, select "Sliding Emoji Keyboard" from the dialog that comes up after long pressing on any text box.
- In Android 4.0 and above, drag down the notification try when a text box is selected, then select "Sliding Emoji Keyboard" after switching the input method.
--- REMEMBER ---
As I said above, you won't be able to see all the emojis on the device! Sometimes they will show up as a blank space and usually they will show up as aiona black and white image of the selected emoji. THIS IS FINE. THEY WILL SEND CORRECTLY to all your friends that have support for them (again, iOS users and any Android messaging apps that have the emojis in them).
Please don't just rate it one star because you can't see the images. I have explained it to you, so there are really no excuses for this.
Thank you for reading, and if you didn't, remember that we will not be very willing to help or support you.
Credit to Andreas Stuetz for his PagerSlidingTabStrip!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Screenshots coming in the next post! Play store link will be coming soon, once the app is actually up on the store.
We think that it turned out very well. Looks great and supports Google's new emojis.
Some notes for Sliding Messaging Pro users:
- this app is baked right into Sliding Messaging, so you don't have to buy the keyboard to use it with our app, a little extra bonus for ya
- This keyboard is available anywhere in the system though if you do buy it, so if you want to use it with other apps, twitter, email, ect. you will have to buy it.
- We did it a little differently in Sliding Messaging to increase funtionality. It is the same concept here, just isn't able to actually display the emojis on the edittexts, where as it is able to do this in sliding messaging. So just know this, as it is explained in the description.
Hope you guys like our work! It should be up soon!
Here is the play store link! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.klinker.android.emoji_keyboard

Umm... you are gonna have to be a little more descriptive than that... i don't really know what you mean
Did you read the description? cause it does everything it says it does perfectly
Just put up version 1.20. This one contains a favorites tab that automatically stores your most used emojis. Great for quick access!
anyways I love your keyboard. great keyboard that has so many selections.
Yay
I love the look of these emojis all the colours and the style
Nice app!
thanks for this!
Ok, many emojies, try it.
