So guys there are two competitors in the market also known as swype and touchpal curve. So now the question arise is which of them is better than other one. Here are some details about both
SWYPE- It was developed by the Swype Inc. The first group to bring the innovative swype technology so smooth yet intelligent with its unique technology
touchpal keyboard- It was developed by the COOTEK. With the same technology as the swype it can produce the nearest results to the swype
conclusion- Though touchpal is the latest and the new technology it work slight differenet than swype as it guesses the word right from first letter if its wrong than you will get wrong result but on the other hand it gives the pop up of letter u pressed so it helps when typing. On the other hand swype is smooth and has good search engine. So as compare to touchpal if you seriously want to swype it than go for swype and if you want to type and to swype than go for touchpal curve.
Here are the links for swype and touchpal
SWYPE:-http://beta.swype.com/
TOUCHPAL:-https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cootek.smartinputv5&feature=search_result
To download the swype you need to register to swype fill in the form and then enjoy
Do reply if you have any doubt it query or if this post has helped you in making better decision.....
I use Touchpal and i'm verry happy with it
Swype use more space and if it's not in phone memory every time i use usb cable i have to manually select swype again ... that's annoying !
touchpal seems a bit better, just my opinion
touchpal work better in English but there is no touchpal curve in my language.
you are absolutely right
i prefere swype
i prefer the swype that comes with the stock roms to touchpal
but i prefer touchpal to swype beta
imo swype is a bit more accurate
for brazilian language i dont have nothing to complain about swype. is very great!
Personally, I find flexT9 to be better than both. I also like slideIT a lot. But because I use more than one language Swiftkey is my default. I can switch seamlessly between three languages and the predictions/corrections are amazing in both languages. Well worth trying.
Sent from a phone with an app.
I personally use the swype cause its prediction is quite a handy and it is speedy
I just installed TouchPal and even right now I feel better than Swype beta
I'm a swype beta user, mainly because I like swype and it has a nice collection of dictionaries including my main language (Filipino). I tried touchpal and I admit that it is at par with swype beta (or even better for some). But it is a hassle to type and save every Filipino word that I use (excluding the saved ones of course) in order for me to be able to swype those. It has a good number of dictionaries but swype still supports more languages.
For now, I returned to swype beta, but when the time comes that touchpal supports my main language, then I might get back to it. Unless of course, if swype became smoother and faster that it is today
I prefer Touchpal over Swype. Of the regular keyboards, nothing beats SwiftkeyX IMHO.

You are right swiftkey is damn good keyboard
PROUD TO BE "ACE"TEEMED
, AND ALSO YES HIT "thanks" IF I WAS OF ANY USE TO YOU....... :-\
Swype, only Swype. I like to speedly typing but with TouchPal I cannot do this coz it some laggy.
Swype is the only.
A major reason is because the Touchpal is not included in the Hungarian language.
i think swype have better word prediction and its smooth
I've tried both Swype and Touchpal on my new ICS system.
At first I really loved Touchpal but then I found that it was completly missing 1 out of 10 words I swyped which as far as I'm concerned is completly unacceptable and useless. It breaks my grove to have to be constantly fighting with it to get it to spell dumb commom words like deficient. It also laggs like crazy every time it pops up and as I use the keyboard all the time, it started giving my phone a laggy feel.
I downloaded Swype beta and found that it was getting everything I was swyping, it was fast and did not lagg.
Touchpal has themes. Really nice ones. Swype does not. I'd need to decompile it's apk and modify the img res myself if I want to change it's appearances.
Both Swype and Touchpal have clipboard tools (you know, like: select, select all, scroll left-right-up-down, cut, copy, paste etc..). In ICS this is a must as Google has completly messed up ICS's clipboard management system and you do need a third party solution. They had the long press in an EditText mechanism in Froyo/Eclair which worked perfectly. They've taken that working mechanism and replaced with some new fancy mechanism that doesn't work 80% of the time. Good job guys... this is an epic Apple scale f#$$-up.
Rants over.
Touchpal's clipboard management tools are slightly more accessible then Swype's (a dedicated button vs Swype's change to keyboard characters and long click the edit button) but Swype has some nice gesture shortcuts for Cuting, Copying, Selecting All and Pasting (Swype-X, Swype-C, Sw-A, Sw-V) which compensate for the slightly less accessible Clipboard GUI.
Memory wise: Touchpal uses 15mb. Swype uses 22mb to 32mb!! It's got the connect client sending Swype quality information (as far as they tell us) when it has access to the internet and the rest of the time, it's observing errors, corrections etc. It tends to hit the 32mb range when you open Swype's preferences. I trick Swype to going back to using 22mb of RAM after having accessed it's preference by switching to another keyboard and back to Swype again. If you have some sort of program that can blacklist processes, you maybe able to get Swype to run at 15-17mb by killing SwypeConnect client.
Update: I've installed System Tuner. As far as I can tell it have minimal impact on my system's resources. You can inspect an apps activity list with this software and choose which one to disable. I disabled Swype Connect (the activity at the very bottom of the list). Now it operates at 15mb-22mb of memory and no more invasive activity keeping tabs on what I do.
I used TouchPal, Stock Swype and Swype Beta.
Well, I prefer TouchPal Curve.

What, the link is down?
Did it get xda'd? lol
Been using it for a few weeks.. Skinable and very easy to type with. In fact you can just slide your finger around and let go when you see the key you are looking for highlited..
Another thing you should look into is PocketCM...
http://www.pocketcm.com/
CONTACTS replacement!!! I like this even more then their keyboard solution.. Imagine the iPhone contacts slide you see everywhere, and you have pocketCM. One of the best features is the A-Z on the left side to quick jump.

How do you install this on hermes w/WM6? When I go into settings / input and change to PCM keyboard it says " Pocket CM keyboard has to be the current sip in order to configure it? what do I do?
Just click the little triangle beside your keyboard icon (bottom middle of bar) and select PCM Keyboard. That should do it...
i have been using the pocket CM k/b since yesterday and ts a quantum leap forward from any other k/b that is available. Its a must have for any Windows mobile user. It works on all PPC phones!
There is also a contact manager from the same author. You can use your fingers to scroll through and select contacts. I use that as well. It works great! It is called pocketCM. URL: http://www.pocketcm.com/index.php
I've installed it and it shows up in the list of available input devices but selecting it does nothing at all. The keyboard doesn't change visually onscreen and if I check the current input device it still shows the standard keyboard.
I can go into it's options and play around with things but if I change the Input Method to PCM Keyboard and click OK, it still doesn't switch over.
Running Schap's WM6 Pro 3.60a ROM.
Tried soft resets, tried installing to main memory and to storage.
Running 0.6 version.

same problem here
What a bummer.
Too bad the Hermes doesn't have either a slide out keyboard, Block Recognizer, Letter Recognizer or Transcriber.

I don't think sarcasm is called for; this looks like a neat keyboard that works better than the stock one for those times that you dont want to slide out or use the stylus.

Strange, I installed it on my 8525 (see sig for ROM info), and it worked fine. Of course my fat fingers don't let me use it all too well... But then again, I have the same problems with an iPhone and even the slide-out keyboard on the Hermes. I actually find the Letter Recognizer to work quite well for me, but it's a matter of personal preference (I was a big fan of Graffiti on the Palm, but Graffiti 2 was abysmal.)

keyboard on startup
Is there anyway to make this the default keyboard? When i reset my phone, it goes back to the standard keyboard
I'm in love with this keyboard! I had downloaded and installed the first version a couple weeks ago and liked it enough to use occaisonally. I felt like it had great potential and just needed a little polishing. But this new version, .6, is awesome! Perfect. I'm gonna use it all the time except when typing sms with the palm threaded app. I'll slide out the hardware keyboard on my hermes for that.
As soon as someone fixes the palm threaded app so that the SIP keyboard doesn't cover up the text you're inputting, I'll use this new PCMkeyboard there, too. And I'll send a hefty donation to that person that fixes the palm app.
donation on the way to this PCM guy, too.
Does anyone know if this keyboard supports other languages' input methods?
Under the options, there's a select box for "Keyboard layout" which includes:
Czech
English
Francais
German
Polish
Russian
Spanish
Hi
I am planning on getting an HTC Desire as soon as O2 get their finger out and release it.
But I have a question regarding the keyboards.
I do plan on trying Swype, however, I think I would only like to use Sywpe while the device is in Landscape mode. I would like to use the standard phone keypad (buttons 1-9) with T9 predictive text input?
Is this possible, or do you need to use the same in each orientation?
I gather there is a multi touch problem when changing keyboards, but it can be solved by a reboot?
Thanks
Stu
Pretty sure it's the same both ways - I don't use Swype as the Desire keyboard is good enough to be quick
It's the same in both ways but it's not like it's hard, or long to change the keyboard type.
Just my two cents: Had a HD2 which I felt it was necessary to install Swype on due to the keyboard being jumpy and prone to double-entry.
The desire's keyboard is ridiculously impressive. Haven't found myself wanting Swype as the correction and capacitive detection are fantastic.
I heard the keyboard for WP7 is nice by default and ill find that out when i get my phone in a couple days but i was wondering if there will be any other keyboards for WP7 like Android has SWYPE. Do you think they will come with the upcoming updates , apps on the marketplace, or with the WP7 "Jailbreak"?
There are no other keyboards available at this time.
However, I can say that the WP7 keyboard is, in my opinion, the finest software keyboard on the market, hands down.
Swype and the HTC IME keyboards on android are good.. but they pale in comparison to this one in my experience.
Agree 100%.
The buttons are not bigger than Android..but I seem to be able to type more accurately on WP7. No idea why. Nice, nontheless.
I've bought my device (HTC HD7) in Germany and it doesn't have Cyrillic keyboard. It's not a problem for me to use English interface, device supports displaying Cyrillic fonts but I can't type text on two Cyrillic languages which I'm using the most.
Do not having the ability to add Cyrillic keyboard at the moment is THE MOST ANNOYING thing with the device. I simply can't use it for basic needs like writing SMS or e-mail to somebody on my native language. When buying the device I thought that It shouldn't be a problem adding a keyboard but now I am very disappointed. Need to use second device (old Nokia smartphone) each time when I should write something on Cyrillic on the way. Ironically, HD7 does not support sharing Internet connection to my secondary device, so I have to pay for two Internet-enabled plans which makes me completely unhappy.
Is any way to help me without selling the device back?
Hi guys, do you know how can I get Russian keyboard on my spanish WP7 LG e900?
thanks!

are wp7 devices sold in countries that use that language? If not, I'm not sure you will get any support from microsoft until they are.

From about three weeks of use so far, I'd say it's the second-best software keyboard I've ever used, after the iPhone keyboard. I can usually type faster than I could on the HTC keyboards on WM and Android. On the iPhone I could type without even looking down because the autocorrect works amazingly well for the most part-- not quite there yet on WP7 (despite a physically larger screen and thus keyboard), but almost.
For now, there's no way to replace the keyboard, though for standard use, you probably won't need a replacement one. Makes sense for non-Latin characters, but WP7 basically lacks Unicode support (very few character sets built in), so it can't do much for non-Latin scripts anyway.
I find WP7 to have the second best keyboard ever, too. But, I disagree in that I find it more accurate than the iPhone keyboard (or at least better at autocorrection). I find the autocorrect makes fewer contextual errors and will allow many intentional strange words while correcting most typing errors.
However, the keyboard on my Blackberry 9700 still rocks the Optimus 7
I dunno, but I don't think I will ever be as efficient in typing on the virtual keyboard as the real one. Aside from accuracy, it is simply far easier to enter common symbols (like quotes, dollar signs, dashes, and parenthesis) and numbers. Parltly because physical keys allows for more accurate smaller keys. Also, having a real mouse-like cursor is massively useful for typing and editing.
Ok fine, yes, there are WP7 devices with slider keyboards, but I dislike sliders... yes, yes, I'm picky.

SlideIT Keyboard is currently half off in the market for New Years. I doubt it beats Swype, but add it currently doesn't work on tablets, I bit the bullet and bought it. Well worth the expense at $4.
It's working on tablets

Thanks for this thread.
I actually acquired the SlideIT for my Samsung Galaxy i9000 mobile device & have a very strange issue with it.
Since yesterday, I have been using the "h*ck*d" version I found on Applanet and it was running greatly - so, as I was very satisfied with it I decided to support the developer and buy the official version
Well - I uninstalled my Applanet version, bought, downloaded and installed the official Market version - .. but it would not run properly.
Although the default language is set as "English", whenever I swype an English term, the keyboard suddenly comes up only with "??" instead of a proper word suggestion. But it used to work with the other version I had from Applanet.
* I have checked the settings, no other Keyboard is ticked
* I have checked the language setting yes - English is set as "Primary Language"
* I thought I might have to install the English language pack, but it is not available in the Market how come? German, Dutch, etc. everything there, but no English
Anyone else has experienced similar or different troubles with SlideIT (official version)?
I'd be thankful for any help.
I got the SlideIT keyboard working fine on the Archos 101. Though fine doesn't mean "without issues." First, the keys on the right side while in landscape mode are somewhat shaved off. Second...the keyboard is FRICKEN HUGE! I mean seriously, it is ridiculously huge...like the clown shoes of on-screen keyboards.
I think I will keep pestering the people over on the Swype forums to make their keyboard work on tablets. LOL
I have used Swype for a long time on my pocket pc but haven't been as happy with it on the Archos 70. I saw this video on youtube comparing Swype and FlexT9. I have to say I prefer T9 and the speech to text works surprising good. Try it for yourself it was around five bucks. I can't post the link so do a search on youtube FlexT9.
Hi.
I've made this thread due to alot of posts (including my own) asking for Samsung Keyboard for AOSP/AOKP, since it's to possible to use on these ROMs.
I wanted to make a GUIDE to help find the best alternatives to the Samsung Keyboard or other stock keyboards in general. My own reason to want the Samsung Keykoard is only due to layout + T9 Dictionary in my native language, Danish.
I hope that most people afterwards can make find a better alternative, that can be installed on to their custom rom as a apk or though Play.
If you got a a favorite keyboard, then please post or pm me, then I will add it to the list. Please provide download url aswell.
Keyboards tried and tested untill now:
Swift keyboard is definitely the best. It's word-guessing is incredible and it only costs 2-3$... Very satisfied so far
AI Keyboard - Nice, but doesn't support danish dictionary.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5haXR5cGUuYW5kcm9pZCJd)
MultiLing Keyboard is nice, but it seems a bit weird with word-guessing.
Found free on market. And there is alot of dictionaries to download aswell.
iPhone keyboard has poor word-guessing in my native language (danish)
I will keep this thread updated when I try out more and get feedback from you guys.
SwiftKey 3 beta, best I ever tried
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
+1 on A.I keyboard, love it.
iPhone Keyboard, so far the best keyboard i used on android, installs through market.
Different Keyboards as well!!
There is so much to change and play with.
Do other keyboards support Swype?
