No one likes Fleksy?? Hahahaha.I personally like Fleksy because its auto-correct has been pretty good so far, and although there is a slight learning curve to the gestures, I'm starting to get used to it and am learning to use it efficiently. It also looks better (imo) than other keyboards.
Which keyboard has the best swipe feature?
Swype and it's not even a contest.
1.Voice dictation is not allowed (via Apple regulations, keyboards are not able to access the microphone).
True, but I'm wondering if someone could build a microphone into their keyboard and use Apple's hardware, but just with their own voice recognition program. It's a shame Apple won't share that feature with other keyboard developers. Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I like using the voice dictation and that's why I'm for the most part only using the Apple keyboard.When you switch away from apples keyboard, the microphone button disappears. So if you are toying or swiping away and decide to dictate a bit, you have to stitch over to the apple keyboard first.
Okay I just installed ikeywi 1.0.2. It's not crashing on me anymore, how about you? Drag selection is way fast too.

If I'm honest, almost everything is crashing these days...
Will update the ikeywi now and let you know. When I tried before the numbers keys top line never stayed put. I want it there all the time. How's it going for you?
For users struggling with one-handed typing on the larger iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus screen, this may be the keyboard that saves you. Keep in mind that it has a few bugs to work out, but the developer seems to be willing to make updates along the way.
Which keyboard has the best swipe feature?
Anyone know of a calendar like Fantastical that has numbers across the top?
I'd be curious how many people picking one choice has actually tried out any of the others?
For example, how many people picking SwiftKey (which is free) have also used Swype (which is not free)? Because if you haven't tried both, your opinion is worthless.

Well it actually is a contest since SwiftKey has the same accuracy and speed
Well, numbers are only present along with lower case numbers. So you have to type past your first letter or press the shift/case key to get the numbers row. Is that what you mean?
This new one looks pretty cool, too:
Blink Keyboard

I've been thinking about why the stock keyboard doesn't have more features like the 3rd party keyboards, swipe, touch & hold, and many others, then, it occurred to me that this is as much as we are going to get with the stock keyboard because of one simple fact, Apple gets 30% of every paid installed 3rd party keyboard, if Apple made the stock keyboard with all the third party options, the sales of 3rd party keyboards would be minimal.
I don't know how many downloads Swype has, but in less than a week it was the No. 1 paid app and 30% of that goes to Apple, I bet that's a lot of money.
Seeing as the default keyboard has no predicitive suggestions when set to Norwegian (go figure), SwiftKey has now become the third party keyboard I find myself using the most out of all the ones I've installed so far. I love how SwiftKey makes it faster to write in English and Norwegian (and pretty much any other language I'd feel like writing in) and it just works. Others like Swype take some getting used to but they're neat to have nonetheless. But so far, SwiftKey is hands down my favorite.
