They're both predictive typing, so they both fall on their face when it comes to two things. Proper nouns and slang.
Whenever I try to write one of those two thing (often, think email addresses, friends names , "yo", etc) I have to fall back on regular input.
With swiftkey, this means just going back to pecking. With minuum, it means going into a menu and switching to minuum's full sized view or long pressing each region to get a zoomed in view of the keys around there to pick out the one I want.
The compactness of minuum is great, though. And when I'm entering non-proper nouns it's as fast as any keyboard (given a few days to adjust).
I paticuraly like the "swipe left for space" function.
It makes me want to try even more radical keyboards. Maybe something chord based.
- wxs 13y agoHey tavoe, A quick point: you can actually access the 2d keyboard with a gesture by long-pressing two fingers on the keyboard. Not a very discoverable gesture, unfortunately, we'll definitely need to improve that.
- jerf 13y agoDo they not let you add to the dictionary? Honest question, I've only used Swype, but you can definitely add things to the Swype dictionary and they work just like any other word after that.
