Swype's Living Language now also supports over 20 dialects, which means if you live in Australia, we'll automatically load local words like lollies (candy), arvo, and brekky (breakfast).
Personal Language ModelSwype's Personal Language Model makes your keyboard more intelligent than ever. Imagine your device figuring out what you will type based on the history of how you've used specific words in relationship to one another. A cutting edge Advanced Language Model, the latest XT9 algorithms, a robust Dynamic Language Model and a game changing Extended Language Model, all work together with a preloaded baseline language database to be able to (almost) read your mind.
Backup & SyncOnly on Swype does your keyboard dictionary and how you use your words, follows you from device to device.
Smart EditorOnly on Swype does Smart Editor examine words in your sentence and determines if another previously suggested word makes more sense. Words are underlined within the text field to prompt you to tap on them and select the word we think is more likely. And, the more you use it the smarter it gets!
Smart ReselectSmart Reselect provides more accurate word choice options when a user reselects a word that they would like to replace. When a user reselects a word for editing, Swype's Smart Editor technology enables the device to look both at the word before and after to give better replacement options.
Smart TouchSwype adjusts to how you type on your device. So if you consistently tap between G & H but usually want G, Swype will learn this and adapt.
Voice/Text Dictionary SyncOnly Swype combines your text dictionary with your Dragon Dictation voice dictionary.
