Then again, it wasn't much easier with the enormous 6 Plus. As much as I like gesture typing, it's best used for dashing off short missives and not novel-length material. Slide to Type I found gesture typing to be trickier on older, narrower iPhones like the 5c and the 4s. Once on the list, it will start appearing as a suggestion and be recognized by gesture typing. But if there's a particular four-letter word you really love, you can easily add it to your dictionary. Like the stock Apple keyboard, curse words are not part of SwiftKey's repertoire. Polyglots will love this feature.Īnd then there's cursing. With German and English activated, I moved easily between the two languages, and SwiftKey kept up. SwiftKey supports 10 languages, and can do so simultaneously. But SwiftKey adds a dedicated return key, and a single button that gives fast access to most punctuation marks-a feature I really like. This is apparently because Apple does not allow keyboard extensions to access the microphone. SwiftKey removes the dictation button, which I think is very unfortunate and greatly offsets the benefit of gesture typing. The days of being confused by Apple's always-capped keyboard are gone.

One very, very simple feature that I love is that SwiftKey presents the keyboard in uppercase or lowercase, depending on whether shift or caps lock is engaged.
