The Mystic Meg of apps, successfully rooting through your previous texts for familiar words.
Free It predicts a riot
Predictive text has come a long way since it first started to appear on mobile phones.
While some see it as a blessing others think it is a curse, sending out texts with sentences that don't make sense because they didn't read their
message through before pressing the Send button.The idea behind predictive text is speed, which SwiftKey offers in spades. SwiftKey is essentially the Mystic Meg of apps, predicting your texts with supernatural accuracy. Downloading the 1.3MB app is swift but you do have to add
a 3M B language pack. The layout of SwiftKey is much like any texting app, except you have the predictive words at the top.
This is the scary part: the words which appear at the top are the ones you will want to add into the text as it analyses the messages you have sent in the past.
Yes,there are some privacy issues, but we don't see a problem with the app rooting through our texts for familiar words and not context.
We do have a problem with the fact that you have to use a full QWERTY keyboard and it would have been nice to have the choice of keyboard size.
Minor niggles aside, SwiftKey is an otherwise excellent texting app. A pro version is also available, costing £1.23/$1.99.
