Help SWYPE on the EVO?

Hello,

I'm new to Evo and I want to improve my Keyboard.

Does any of these NEW improved screen keyboards offer Mic?

Thanks!

How is SlideIT different from SWYPE??

I got Swype after I tried SlideIt, Ultra Keyboard, and Shapewriter. I can't stand it when the keyboard is poorly done graphically. I thought that they all lookes like crap compared to Swype.

Also as far as landscape mode goes, you really don't do landscape mode and swype at the same time, as it is awkward. Landscape is usually just for regular typing on the keyboard.
 
swipe also now has the mic biult in, and even comes with different swipe trace colors:)
i'm using the red version now. works great.

I'm in the Swype beta, but my version doesn't seem to have these options. Am I looking in the wrong place to enable the mic button or different colored trace, or are you using a different version that isn't part of the beta? :confused:

I'm not asking for it to be posted here or anything, but just curious, which version number has the built in mic?
 
I have to say that I love Swype, but here is the problem. I load a version onto my phone, it works great for awhile, and then it expires and is useless... and then you have to go find the latest version to install so it will work again. I got so sick of it that I have stopped using Swype. If I could find a version that I could put on that would never expire.... that would be great, but to my knowledge, no such thing exists.

On a side note: I think that the company that makes Swype is not very smart at all. They need to make it available on the market, they would make a ton of money.... but no....

seriously? I am dealing with a tragedy right now and may be a little short but c'mon....you are going to find more in the market that have it than don't. it is pretty much a standard feature of the keyboards.

go to market...look up keyboard...look at the details for any that strike your fancy. they tell you if they have the mic or not. i use the droidx keyboard over at xda ...it has it. as for the others...i don't use them. I have found the droid x keyboard to work perfectly for my needs


jason18...your font size is brutal....it's like you are yelling and screamin blue at everyone....just saying :D it's been mentioned elsewhere that swype may be under contract with samsung/verizon/ or someone...and that once that agreement of exclusiveness is expired we may see the app on the market. I have no way of verifying this but have seen it in other industries. also...those with beta, I read today there is a new beta. has anyone received it?
 
Uhhh, I just installed SlideIT and I hit the "activate" button and hit the check mark...and nothing happens...it's still the default keyboard.

Am I missing something? :confused:

Go to your app drawer, open up SlideIT. You should see

1. Press Activate Keyboard
[Activate Keyboard] <-- Button
2. Set SlideIT as default keyboard
[Long press, Select Input method] <-- Text input area

Press and hold on the text input area and then choose SlideIT.

Thanks. :D
 
Swype 2.6b doesn't have a Mic. There is an older version that is modded with a Mic. Anyone has seen the new one with a Mic?

The new 2.10.52 I got has a mic button, just came out two days ago, swype is the best imo
Tried them all shape writer would be my second choice .
As far as tradition keyboards gotta give it to swift key its like a mind reader
