Swype

wow, just put this on my phone. 1 billion times better than using the stock keyboard!

I've been trying it out the last couple days. I used Shapewriter for a few days before that. They each have their ups and downs, but I agree that either one is better than the stock KB.

Does anyone know if swype has speech-to-text capability?

Does anyone know if swype has speech-to-text capability?

I dont think so, but kinda. Handcent has it and it works even with the swype keyboard. K9 mail doesnt support it so it doesnt work. So i guess any app that supports STT on its own it works just fine... if that makes sense

Thanks, that link worked for me too!

I emailed the author of SlideIt (2 toes up for Slothy) for the voice button and he informed me he hoped to have it on his next update.

I downloaded the 1.56 HTC_IME Swype, installed it on my rooted Sprint HTC Hero phone and it shows up in the settings. I click the check box so I think it would be active, but when I use an application the keyboard still shows the stock Android one.

Any thoughts? I may just try the Shapewriter or SlideIt if there's no way for Swype to work.
Thanks!

Disregard my last post....While in the Market and in the process of downloading SlideIt I read its instructions which stated to hold down the text box for a long time and it would prompt text input option, then I was able to choose Swype from there. It's all good now.

Sorry about that...(still a newbie root user and learning slowly)
