Developed by TouchType Ltd., the new revolutionary SwiftKey application arrives on Android devices. The application promises Android users effortless touchscreen typing, as well as a unique text prediction technology. Even though it's only available in beta version, the application is supposed to increase the writing speed by up to 50% thanks to its powerful prediction engine.

“We are really pleased to be able to launch SwiftKey Beta after two years of hard work,” said Jon Reynolds, TouchType's Chief Executive Officer. “The incredible technology underpinning our application completely changes the way mobile users interact with their smartphones.”

The main Swype's competitor, SwiftKey offers support for US/UK English, Spanish, French German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese and Swedish languages, rapid and comprehensive learning of individual writing style, as well as unique next-word prediction engine based on word context. Unlike other word prediction technologies, which are usually based on word lists, SwiftKey uses complex language models that understand how words are combined within sentences.

“We've analysed over 50 billion words in nine major languages to build the models that drive our prediction engine,” said Ben Medlock, TouchType's Chief Technical Officer. “SwiftKey is the first text entry app on the market to harness the incredible power of statistical language processing. It takes predictive text to a whole new level, resulting in an unparalleled user experience.”

The technology behind SwiftKey is called the Fluency Prediction Engine and it draws on recent breakthroughs in Natural Language Processing from the University of Cambridge. It seems that the new technology provides the best text prediction experience on the market.
