SwiftKey Flow: Quick Hands On




Flow gives us the chance to do this style of typing with the SwiftKey prediction logic. This means that the keyboard really gets to know the way you type and the words you say. It also adds one pretty amazing feature known as ‘continuous flow’ (or ‘Flow Through Space’).

Continuous Flow allows you to type full sentences without lifting your finger at all! Basically when you have traced a word you go to the space and then start the second word without lifting, it works out what you are trying to say. The only limitation we have found early on is, typing is dependent on your own accuracy and the speed your brain can keep up with what you’re doing, but the more you use it the better you will get.

The keyboard is not yet perfect (it is only a first beta after all), it has a few bugs, especially with some words when ‘flowing’ but I trust SwiftKey to do what they have always done in the past, listen to feedback and fix any problems, or add new things that people suggest.

Now all that is left is for you all to try it! Grab the beta (phone and tablet) from the link:
