Android Showdown - standard Vs Swype Vs Multitouch keyboard

Bookmark and Share

There has been many questions about many Android keyboards available on the market and most of them is on it is the best for me. There is the standard Android keyboard, the new Swype keyboard and also the keyboard multi released by Motorola Droid x. how to stack, which is best for you?

Something that is known as the standard Android keyboard, there is nothing standard about him. In fact, it is quite nice piece of software to go along with your Smartphone. The latest version has an input function of voice that greatly amplifies the keyboard. Even on its own, it is still a wonderful piece of equipment. It is very sensitive, and there is almost zero problems when it is in use. Even if your device does not offer an option of any of the other keyboards, still are not losing much that this is a solid contender.

It is preinstalled and configured it is always beautiful and amazingly is used. The slight disappointment for this standard keyboard is that it is not very smart when it comes to symbols and special characters. Simply press the "alt" button on the keyboard in any way will stop the flow of all and this is quite prominent to write longer messages. Another slight fall is his poor word prediction though improved HTC Sense equipped devices.

Meanwhile, Swype is very difficult to dislike. It is fast, new, and simply too cool not to use it. In fact, almost all users seem to love this keyboard. You may need to spend a little time getting used to, but once you do, you simply can not it away from your hands. It has a "wow" really incredible factor. Essentially draw a line over the letter you want and they appear by magic. Again, perhaps need to take some time to really get used to the idea of not seeing the keys with your thumbs.

Be a better keyboard, has a fast text entry, a unique form of prediction of words show the possibility of inserting words and many more. The complaint only minor on the product would be the time to really master the learning curve. For the moment, it is still not being able to be purchased in the market as it is still in a beta state.

The newcomer to the field of keyboard is the new multi released by Motorola Droid x keyboard. From now on, it is exclusively on the Droid X, but developers have already ported to other devices like the Droid Incredible, and others. This keyboard is very similar strong standard keyboard but improves on a problem that is when you start to type really fast on a tactile keyboard.

It increases your write speed, you will tend to play two letters at the same time. This is a problem for a standard keyboard, since is confused as to the order of the letters that are intended for input. The multi keyboard adds compatibility with multi touch so you can hold a letter and continue writing and that works very well. Motorola has done a great job with this, but we have to say that the predictive text was simply not as bright as the standard keyboard or Swype. We suspect that this will improve as updates are released.

When it comes to choosing which keyboard Android use, the end result will be yours to make. We hope that you have a device that supports all three, so you can try all them to decide that it is best for your style.
