More and more Smartphone users are moving towards gesture typing as it serves comfort and faster typing experience. All you need to do is swipe your fingers through the letters on keyboard and your word gets typed automatically. As gesture typing uses the built-in dictionary and word predictions of a keyboard, spelling mistakes rarely happen.
Tapping is slower and more prone to spelling mistakes than the gesture typing. And that may be one of the reasons why gesture typing has gained more popularity in the last few years that, even manufactures have been providing gesture typing support for their firmware.
Swype was one of the very first keyboard app that kicked off gesture typing into Android world. Swype has gathered much attention with its new typing experience and has over a million downloads in the Play Store itself. Now, Swype has yet again introduced new features with its 2.0 update.
