Swype function on an iPhone?
« on: November 30, 2012, 07:28:54 AM »
Mods can you please leave this here for a little while?

Is there any way to get a swype function for texting on an iPhone?  Looks like there was an app that worked but it no longer functions on an iPhone.

that looks like a guy who uses 170 pounds for triceps DB kickbacks.   And has great hearing.

No...Android has a swype function to text where you "swipe" your finger on the keyboard, not lifting your finger but hitting the keys of the word.  When you lift your finger off, the word appears. 

My friend just got an iPhone and they used to use swype to text on their Droid and they are bummed they can't swype so I did some research and can't find an app that actually works but if it's out there Getbig will know :)

I've got it on my nexus but to be honest I can't master it at all. There is an app for iPhone but it has a very low rating as you have to open it up first and it is supposedly not as good in other areas..

Thanks, I think I saw that one.  Maybe that's the best/only option available.

You have to jailbreak your iPhone to get it.

I couldn't do swype.  Instead I just use the voice recognition and say what I want to be sent in a text.

I'm sure Swype will make it to the iPhone eventually. I think what's preventing it right now is Apple's strict app/ecosystem requirements. I couldn't find out much...
