Another useful feature is the ability to display arrow / cursor keys on the phone version. Prediction accuracy improves quickly after you start using the keyboard, and we liked having the option to turn off the spacebar-triggered auto-completion of words and phrases.
In fact, it's now replacing the stock keyboard on all our HTC Sense-equipped handsets. We've been testing SwiftKey Tablet X on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 for a few days now, alongside SwiftKey X on a handful of phones (including the Nexus S and the EVO 3D), and it's probably the best virtual keyboard we've used on Android yet. And that split keyboard option we first encountered at CES? It's there of course, in the tablet version.
There's also a handful of other enhancements, including support for themes which allow users to customize the look and feel of the keyboard. SwiftKey now supports 17 languages (with more coming soon) and is smart enough to interpret three languages at once. New features include cloud learning, which analyzes how you type in Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, and text messages to predict phrases in your style, plus keypress technology which continually monitors your typing precision and adapts the touch-sensitive area for each key to improve prediction accuracy. Both applications improve upon the original by using TouchType's Fluency 2.0 artificial intelligence engine, a unique predictive phrase system which learns how you write. We're no strangers to SwiftKey here at Engadget HQ, and today TouchType is launching a major new version of everyone's favorite Android virtual keyboard - SwiftKey Tablet X for devices running Honeycomb, and SwiftKey X for devices running Android 2.x.
