The QWERTY keyboard has worked well for typewriters–the layout of its keys optimized to keep the machine from getting tangled when a user typed quickly.  However these days, people often use touchscreens, type with one hand or even one finger, and hold their devices at odd angles while they enter data.

Swype is a way to type blindingly fast on a touchscreen by tracing your finger or stylus over the letters you want without lifting up, connect-the-dots style. It will automatically insert the intended word with error-correcting algorithms. It’s basically an input method that makes way easier and faster to type a text in any edit box.

Here is a video that shows how it works.

This application is designed to work across a variety of devices such as phones (including iPhone and Android mobiles), Tablets, Game consoles, Kiosks, Televisions, Virtual screens and more
