Two major third-party keyboard app makers have introduced the latest
versions of their offerings. SwiftKey has finally introduced emoji
prediction for iOS devices in its latest update, apart from other
features. Now iPad and iPhone users, just like Android users, can simply
type phrases to see emoji suggestions and use it while chatting. Swype
in the meanwhile updated its app with much needed features for Android
users.
As a part of the update, SwiftKey for iOS besides bringing
emoji prediction, introduces key-click sounds, which users can activate
by going in the keyboards settings of the device. Support for 11
additional languages namely Bulgarian, Croatian, Greek, Hinglish,
Icelandic, Indonesian, Latvian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, and Turkish is
also included in version 1.2 of the app.
For iPad users, the
SwiftKey app's latest update brings the SwiftKey Flow feature, using
which users can type words by dragging their fingers on the keyboard.
Swype,
on the other hand, has been updated to version 1.8 for Android users
with new features like Android 5.0 Lollipop-based themes (Light, Dark
and Bumble Bee), detachable keyboard for Android tablet users, new
languages and more. New languages that will now be supported by the
updated Swype keyboard are German, Italian, Burmese Zawgyi, Sinhala, and
Vietnamese Telex.
The update also includes emoji support in eight
languages. Some of the other features added are Korean initial
consonant, performance improvements related to connected services, and
few bug fixes. Swype a couple of months ago got a massive update
for iOS devices that included emoji prediction, support for 16 new
languages, auto-space and sound on key press.
