My brother just showed me the Swype function on my Droid. I had no idea it even existed. So cool! Makes texting and emailing a breeze. I can't believe I didn't know about this. Anybody else use it?

I used Swype extensively in my old phone since it was included at purchase. My current phone doesn't have it but the Google version works almost as good. I got Swype's competitor app, SwiftKey, for free through Amazon last year and have been using it exclusively.
I cannot fathom ever going back to strictly touch typing and giggle a little when I see iPhone users taping away on their tiny screens...

I turned it off. I don't see the point in it. And frankly, autocorrect has failed in its function to keep one from looking like an idiot. Now instead of misspelling Adirondack you inadvertently post Add A Big Cock.The year's at the spring

HRH taught me to use it when I got my first smartphone. At first, I had some of the problems Nova mentioned, but you can basically "train" it to autocorrest to the words you use most frequently. I also use voice typing. That's the little old-fashioned microphone to the left of the space bar.Originally posted by phillygirl View Post"Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality.

I just started remembering to use that last week. I rarely text in a car, which is when I would have the most use for that. But the swype has been very convenient for me so far. I did notice the training aspect, which is pretty good.Originally posted by Celeste Chalfonte View PostNot where I breathe, but where I love, I live...
