I have used Swype texting since the t9 days.
If I demoed swype texting as it functions in my day to day life to someone used to a querty keyboard they would never adopt it
The rate at which it makes wrong assumptions about the word, or I have to fix it is probably 10% to 20% of the time
However because it’s so easy to fix this is not an issue and it doesn’t slow me down at all. So within the context of the different types of text Systems out there, I t’s the best thing going for me personally, but it takes some time to learn how to use it.
This is every product.
If you demonstrated to people how something will actually work after 100 hours of habituation and compensation for edge cases, nobody would ever adopt anything.
I’m not sure how to solve this because both are bad.
(Edit: I’m keeping all my typos as meta-comment on this given that I’m posting via swype on my phone :))
