14 DAY TRIAL // The beta flavor of Swype for Symbian, the application the Swype team developed in collaboration with Nokia's Beta Labs engineers, has just got enhanced with support for a wider range of languages.
With Swype for Symbian, mobile phone users who own a touchscreen Nokia handset powered by the mobile platform can enjoy faster typing than before.
“The team behind the Swype for Symbian beta has today released three extra language packs: European French, German, and Polish. More languages will be added as they become available,” a recent post on Nokia Beta Labs reads.
According to the development team, those users interested in the installation of the new language pack should make sure that they first have the main application installed on their devices.
Moreover, they should also make sure that the “phone's Writing Language fits with one of Swype's supported languages.”
“Since Swype has its own language selection, the team recommends that you set the phone's Writing Language to English, then use Swype to change the language dictionary in use for writing,” the development team states.
At the same time, the team encourages those who will use the application to offer feedback, so that the user experience will be further enhanced.
In case there are some who haven't met Swype before, they should know that the application was meant to offer users the possibility to type much faster than on other virtual keyboard solutions.
“With one continuous finger or stylus motion across the screen keyboard, the patented technology enables users to input words faster and easier than other data input methods at over 40 words per minute,” Nokia Beta Labs describes the Swype for Symbian beta software solution.
“The application is designed to work across a variety of devices such as phones, tablets, game consoles, kiosks, televisions, virtual screens and more.”
Swype for Symbian beta and the available language packs are available for download from Softpedia too, via this link.
