All that rainbow goodness = slowness = I miss the old swipe to erase. :confused:

Try this for slowness.
You can hold the erase button to erase a word, although it's not nearly as efficient as the old swipe to erase. Hopefully they'll add a "Swipe from back button to erase" function.

But like others said I have to get used to the fact that the "swipe to erase" function is gone.

I do not think the function is gone, I think it is simply disabled when Flow is enabled.

Add me to the list that would like to see a work around for when Flow is enabled though (and the swipe down to close the keyboard).

QUESTION: has anyone found themselves using the phone version on a 7" tablet? How do you like it if so?

I have been using it on my GNex for a few days now to try it out. Until then I was using Swype. Here are some things I've noticed:

It is really good at predicting which word I meant to type. Sometimes it's almost a little creepy how good it is at guessing this. I find that when I swipe words that it almost always gets them right.

The down side is when it gets a word wrong. With swype I would swipe everything out, then go back and edit it. Double tapping on a word highlighted it, then I could type out the correct word and replace it. With Swiftkey Flow I seem to have to manually delete the word first, then I have to type it in.

The other down side (related to the above) is that if it does put in the wrong word it's not as easy to correct it immediately as it is with Swype. Swype offers a list of words I might have meant to type instead... Swiftkey Flow sort of does this, but it only offers up 3 words as far as I can tell.

One last annoyance is when I'm trying to type in something like a URL or email address. Pain in the ass. I have to keep backing up every time I enter a period.

Despite the negatives I mentioned above, though, I am enjoying it. It is really, really good at figuring out what I meant to say.

hmm, I enjoyed swype beta and now love the current full version of swiftkey. I don't like the sound of the battery drain or the browser problems so think I will wait until these problems are sorted and the gesture typing is integrated into the full version of the app (I hope that it will be).

    Maybe this is the moment I was waiting for, a worthy replacement of Swype.

    Talk later, work first, download the attached APK of SwiftKey Flow. And don't go away, come here, and comment, how you are liking it.

    Download: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey

    Download can be found at their website:

    http://www.swiftkey.net/flow/

    * Replaced 'learnt' with 'learned' in personalization page (US English)
    * Turned off slide down from candidates bar to close keyboard when flow is on (to be consistent with the description in the Settings menu)

    **Known Issues:**

    * Blank predictions on switching between languages
    * Flowing words still sometimes results in surprising capitalisations
    * No SD card ribbon looks bad on low end devices

    -- Views on latest version: You can now Flow everywhere, except S Note app. Also you've to hit backspace when a prediction goes wrong, which is time wasting IMO. There is no more option of rapid or precise typing. Otherwise it's good.

    ♦ HOW TO SAVE CUSTOM WORDS:
    Type the word manually. Tap and select it. Close the keyboard by pressing the back button, I am not talking about backspace. Pull the keyboard up. It is learnt or saved.

    Hello. I have edited out all of your 3rd party links and replaced it with the link to the download that is available for everyone at the Swiftkey website. I'm sure Swiftkey wants everyone to download it directly from their site so that they can keep better track of download counts and other little thing that could help them fine tune and troubleshoot their product. Unless you can prove that Swiftkey gave you permission to host the file on a bunch of other sites... :)

    Thanks,
    DSB

    I can not install it on my phone, none of the versions.

    Android 4.0.4, no root, stock everything. Thee install button does not work (disabled)... why???

    Pity!

    Are you using screen filter? This happens to me when I had it enabled. (stock 4.0.4 too)
