SwiftKey 3, anything better?

The S3 is my first touch screen keyboard and I have been more than pleased with its virtual keyboard (stock one)

I read many good and bad reviews about SwiftKey 3 and have been wondering, shall I buy it or not? some people say on the reviews its amazing some others say its crap

I am confused now

shall i stick to the stock keyboard or would SwiftKey offer me better typing experience?

Additionally, I currently have Arabic and Russian in addition to English, will I be able to add those languages as well in swift key or does it not suport additional languages?

do you just download and install it or do you have to do anything else to make it active and working

please advice

thanks
 
nevermind, due to the slow response here, I bought it and I love it! it also has he option to add Arabic and Russian :)
 
Swiping is faster than tapping each individual letter but I've found that, given enough time, SwiftKey's word prediction can save a ton of keystrokes. There have been times when I would type the first couple of letters and then SwiftKey would end up completing the rest of the sentence. It does take some time learning your individual typing style but once it does, it's almost creepy at how well it predicts your next word.

I've only used it for English but I wonder how good it is using other languages.
 
I tried really hard to like Swype when it first came out on my Droid. After so many days with it, I just gave up. Never could be a fan.
Jumped on SwiftKey when the first beta came out, then bought it, then bought it again for my tablets. Basically the only keyboard I will ever use. :D Best paid app out there IMO.

My experience was similar. My wife loves Swype. I just couldn't get into it...
 
I am another SwiftKey lover. It's on my Droid Incredible phone and my Transformer Prime tablet. Almost every day I'm still amazed at its predictive capability. And once in a while when I want to repeat a phrase or sentence I've used recently, it remembers the exact sequence!

I love swiftkey! I have tried other keyboards but always go back to swift, you only need to use it for about a week and it seems to know what your going to type before you think it, great keyboard :)
 
SwiftKey is great but I found myself going back to the Galaxy S3 stock Samsung keyboard. I like the voice dictation and clipboard accessibility it provides. The clipboard is nice when you don't want to type your email address out for 20th time in a day.

Is there any way to have faster access to clipboard or something equivalent in SwiftKey3? Voice dictation?
