love this excerpt from the article

Here are some samples, using parentheses to indicate when the correctly predicted word appeared and I could stop typing and start flicking:

H(ey) (there), I’m (going) (to) (be) five (minutes) l(ate). Or(der) m(e) a cof(fee).

I(‘m) he(re) b(ut) (I) d(on’t) s(ee) y(ou).

BlackBerry 10: it knows what you’re thinking

More of "the BlackBerry 10". Awesome :P

BB10: I(t) k(nows) I w(ant) (to) b(uy) i(t).

BB10: I(t) k(nows) I w(ant) (to) b(uy) i(t).

Looking at what we have seen so far it might not get knows in one letter as it would tend to guess know, but would probably guess the it at the end outright.

When I first read that I thought, what a massive predictive text fail. A nice counter-point to the op and BB10 capabilities. Then I read it again.

That's Swiftkey for you. It learns what words you usually type in after the other words.

Just the other day, Swiftkey posted a video about their new offering. I'm registered for the beta and am hoping to try it out soon!

I don't get. Looks like random finger flying all over the place and it was setup to type what was preset in the program.

So if I just slide my finger all over very the keys it will type what I'm thinking, I'm missing something here.

Regarding that SwiftKey "Flow": when I use certain games on a touchscreen -- the "dragging" games that make you keep your finger mashed on the screen all the time as you slide it around -- my finger-tip gets very sore after awhile and I have to stop playing.

No way could I take advantage of a feature like that which required me to slide my finger around all the time. Neat idea, otherwise...
