Get it now, sickest keyboard ever!
Will post APK since it's public so shouldn't be a problem.
This beta literally just dropped, I've been a long time Swiftkey user and have long awaited it!
After swyping through a word slide to the space key and keep going!
POST ANY TIPS YOU HAVE THAT MAY HELP OTHERS

Yeah I'm finding the swiping doesn't work in calendar boxes either.
Ehhh.. I've been using Keymonk Free for months now. Has two finger swype'ing which makes texting even faster, and pretty good prediction as well.
Free version though doesn't allow you to add to dictionary :\
Can't wait to try this! I can't get the language file to download though. :banghead:

I believe they did this on purpose which I really like. A lot of things you enter in those type of boxes are normally not normal, ex: dotson817
I remember swype when I'd try to type a username too fast it'd think I was swyping and it would get it wrong. Just a thought

To all the people pointing out that flow doesn't work in Google Search (or similar areas) and claim it's okay, let me remind you that with the 4.2 keyboard, swiping is available everywhere, even where predictions aren't. Just because some searches are not standard (e.g. dotson817), the vast majority of my searches are with English words.
Either the API for swiping anywhere is locked, or SwiftKey dropped the ball. Seeing as to how long this beta took to drop, I'm guessing the latter.

I like your Apple style thinking, it's not broke it's a feature
Not working in form fields is one thing. But it doesn't work in comment boxes too, so replying to online forums is a pain.

gesture typing works for me in comment boxes, i just tried on a facebook comment box withing dolphin browser.
My problem with this beta is that it appears to be draining a lot of battery. It doesn't help that Flow is full of bugs (you simply cannot write the words "its" or "it's").

When you bring up the keyboard, there is an icon on the top notification bar. Select from there.
Finally, some Swype action!

Okay, so that's what that was. Lol. I was becoming frustrated that the little icon was up there so I assumed it was Swype spamming me. Thanks a lot! I guess it doesn't show up until you have more than one keyboard available.

has anyone been able to download any language files?
it seems the download capability is broken. I couldn't download any language files or dragon feature.
p.s.
Downloading works but it just needs some time.
Downloading the additional languages seems a little buggy. Sometimes the option completely disappears from the menus( even whilst being connected to wifi the whole time). It's not a conclusive method of getting the menu option back but I think running the swype setup/installer app when swype is already installed seemed to bring it back for me. Then several times when opening the download languages menu it sat with the loading twirly for ages and ages.
Also when finally getting the list of languages and downloading my desired language, the downloading was fairly fast but installing took ages.
What was also funny was swype had defaulted to Spanish when I first downloaded it and I was wondering why it's predictions had become so seemingly odd....

You can't. It's the way you change keyboard in ICS (except stock keyboard which is long press space).
The norification will stay there unless Swype implements the ICS way to change keyboard.
I'm using Swype whole mounth. build that I found works perfectly in my g nexus.
I can give apk if somebody wants. Also it supports lots of languages.

You're using the hacked version, which is already online. This thread is about the OFFICIAL one which cannot be shared as it'd be classed as warez
My wife misses the auto correct of the iPhone. Does Android have something as comparable, besides the predictive text? The predictive text was just totally messing up her sentences. It doesn't seem to work as good as iPhone. So I assume I'm missing something.
The default keyboard with predictive text is pretty bad. Download SwiftKey 3 Keyboard from the Google Play Store. It will cost you, but trust me, it's worth it.

Agree with above. SwiftKey is a must.
Are you guys talking about the Samsung keyboard?
That is terrible, but the jellybean keyboard is really good in predicting your words, so I'd recommend trying to get that.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Another recommendation for SwiftKey. You can type a whole book without ever using the space bar. they let you try it before you buy. 30 day trial I think. Good stuff.
Redundant by now, but yeah, go SwiftKey. You could literally mess up every letter of every word and you would never know lol.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I downloaded SwiftKey for the auto correction feature but still run into issues where (even) SwiftKey knows I spelled a word wrong but will not auto append it to the correct word its predicting. Is there a setting that I am not seeing somewhere as I've been through all the menu's (both native and 3rd party input settings)?

Try Swype beta from the Swype web site.It's not available in the app market. It's predictive text is spot on most of the time and its easy to fix the mistake if it made one.

How does this compare with SwiftKey?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
it's more like swype but faster. it's already pretty good but not final yet. i like it more than swiftkey because of swiping. but maybe the next swiftkey version is even better.
Even if this isn't the final version i really like it. It works just like swype but you see the word follow you as you move your finger.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
So far like this keyboard more then swype beta and touchpal keyboards. You must unlearn certain swype gesture's for it to work correctly but very geeked for the final version and the rest of the goodies on 4.2.

Does anyone know how to to punctuation quickly with it like in swype? My favorite thing about this keyboard besides it's awesomeness is that it doesn't auto add every word i manually type in like swype does.

Yeah, that's my question. I hate having to manually do punctuation again, that's what I like about Swype...
For an early version this thing is fantastic.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I just figured it out. It's like Swift key. Hold down the period then your punctuation comes up.
just love it, also love the leakage community
Super accurate. I love how swiping in this keyboard leans towards common words (it, was, how, and, but. then etc.) more than Swype did. If I remember how Swype worked, it would often try to "overpredict" the words when I'm just trying to spell simple conjunction words and then I would have to go back and correct these simple words. Also, it's awesome that we don't have to do the "circle the letter" to double it like when spelling words with repeating letters. It seems like this keyboard just knows what word you want without having to do any special tricks.
I love being able to have the accurate "peck" typing keyboard while choosing to swipe if I wanted to on the same keyboard. Best of both world.

I can see a big difference personally between the official and the beta. The beta was driving me crazy for awhile, the official makes my life way easier.

Should automatically transfer as long as you didn't delete the beta before installing the regular SwiftKey. SwiftKey stores all of your data on your SD card (external I think) so you can easily transfer your data.

I really like it and it's a nice keyboard, but I've grown so accustomed to the Android 4.2 keyboard for now. Until I get sick of it (I usually do get sick of things rather quick and need a change), I'll give this one another try.

Other cards turn up and when I open Google Search!
The only voice commands I use are simple ones such as currency checks or a quick math problem.

Utter uses whatever voice engine you choose. So the misunderstanding part is usually due to the person not saying the command correctly. It has to be exact.

I find that I use Google Now a lot. I rely pretty heavily on searching for locations on my desktop, then having an estimated time of arrival listed as a card on my phone that I can easily set as a navigation target. The ability to pull my calendar events and tell me when I need to leave due to traffic is also quite helpful.
