14 DAY TRIAL // Swype and Nokia have partnered to offer a new software solution for the owners of Nokia S60 5th edition devices, namely Swype for Symbian, which was just released in beta from the Nokia Beta Labs.
The development team of this application announced that, for the time being, only some Nokia S60 5th Edition touch screen phones support the solution, and the list includes: Nokia 5800, Nokia 5230, Nokia X6, Nokia N97, Nokia N97mini.
Swype Beta for Symbian comes with support for English US, Spanish, Canadian French, and Brazilian Portuguese, but should add support for more languages in the near future, it seems.
“Swype has worked closely with Nokia to bring you the best text input experience on your S60 5th Edition handset. Swype plugs directly into the Symbian input method to ensure seamless integration with every application on the device,” the development team notes.
The Swype application was designed to work on a wide range of devices, including mobile phones, tablets and more.
Key features of the application include: - Standard QWERTY keyboard layout makes Swype easy to learn - Use a stylus or finger – Swype’s amazing input path analyzer allows you to go fast and sloppy. Just make a reasonable effort to trace through the word and Swype will do the rest - Double Tap Editing – Make a mistake? Double tap on a word to bring up a list of other possible matches. - Auto-Spacing - Auto-Capitalization - Auto Spelling Correction - Automatic Help – Swype detects when you may be having trouble or might benefit from a particular feature and prompts you with helpful tips and instructions - Instant access to Symbols, Numbers and Editing functions - 65,000-word Learning Dictionary – Chances are the word you are typing is already in the Swype dictionary. If it isn’t, just tap it out once followed by a space and Swype will remember it for future use.
Users trying out the new Swype for Symbian Beta on their Nokia devices should provide the development team with their feedback, so that more enhancements would be included in the solution.
“Your feedback will be valuable to us in the coming weeks, and we are especially interested in how well Swype interfaces with the many types of applications you use every day. While you’re at it, feel free to take a crack at the world record, which was recently broken (again!) with Swype,” a recent post on Nokia Beta Labs notes.
