I am sorry for being so stupid, but how are those keyboards actually activated once you install them? Do they appear in the keyboard list like a new "country keyboard" and you select them via the "Globe" button on the keyboard?
Can I use a country keyboard e.g. for Japan from the stock keyboard and easily switch from there to a custom keyboard such as Swype without having to go through the Settings?

Non Apple keyboards don't seem to have a click sound. Anyone know how to get that back? It sounds strange, but it really helps me for some reason, lol.
On Android Swiftkey used to cost about $4 but they made it free with the announcement of including a theme store inside the app. The Android version has IAP that let you change the color/style of the keyboard. I assume that's coming to iOS soon too.
I am likewise intrigued and happy to try out these new keyboards. While still awaiting a keyboard with a tab key, I confess being alarmed by the amount of battery energy these keyboard apps have been sucking (as reported by iOS)
It might be because they phone home all too often. At any rate, battery drain and privacy considerations discourage me from continuing to use them, much as I do type much faster on them.
That's just ridiculous and borderline fear mongering. I've been using Swype, Swift Key and a number of other keyboards on Android for years and years and have had none of my credit card numbers or accounts compromised.
It doesn't store your passwords.
Any of these keyboards put the numbers across the top without switching screens? I'd pay a buck for that. Checked the links and no mention.
Swiping and resizing both appeal to me enough to try for a while. Appearance-wise, they'll improve.
I just wish a greater number of them allowed basic functionality without enabling "full access" (network). There are very few companies I'd trust with that, and I can do without cloud frills like prefs synching. Unless a keyboard relies 100% on remote processing for learning (fair enough, if encrypted and anonymized, but I'll pass) it ought to work while remaining isolated from the Internet.
That would be great sometimes. I wish it were an option (to choose instead of the suggestions bar) on Apple's default keyboard. (And in Landscape or on 6 Plus you could fit at least one or two suggestions AND small numbers.)
Actually, a giant (taller than normal keyboard) 3rd-party numpad keyboard could be even better.

I would say that this is silly fanboyism, but sadly, the keyboards have actually been by far the biggest annoyance on my Android tablet and have cost me quite a bit of time (and money), and I still haven't found a solution that comes anywhere close to the ease of use of the iOS stock keyboard.
Swift key is super buggy so are the others I went back to the Apple keyboard cause they stopped coming up when they were supposed to
I'm trying them all out; I don't have swype yet, but for $.99 or whatever, I'll try it. Honestly, I can tell the swipe-style is GONG to be faster, but it's not yet, as I get used to it. So for now, I actually still like the stock keyboard & it's new predictive text is brilliant, but I think over time, I'll like the swipe-style better.
Loving the swipe capability, but finding I miss the keyboard shortcuts that are built into iOS. The perfect solution would be a custom keyboard that both supports swipe and integrates with TextExpander. Hoping it's coming soon!
Thanks Tim and Craig.
Imagine where we'd be today if Scott were still around. Things are better now.
I tried both SwiftKey and Swype, and was not a fan. Maybe on my iPhone 6 I will appreciate them more, but for now I am sticking with Fleksy. The autocorrect is awesome and I can type so much faster with it. The only thing I don't really like is how the punctuation works.
Like wise. I installed Swiftkey on my Android Tablet and it requested access to ALL of my information. I noped straight to the un-install menu.
Swiftkey was swiftly deleted here, not only does swiping not work at all on iPads, the app actually blocks you from posting reviews on the app store!
SwiftKey is supposed to let me drag my finger across letters without lifting my finger, right? Or is that only Swype? The promo video seems to indicate that I should be able to.
I installed the keyboard, allowed it full access, pull it up in messages, but I can't for the life of me get this feature to work. It's just one letter at at time.
EDIT: I guess the post above me answers my question. Thanks.
