The Cloud functionality isn’t the only new things in the 4.2 update either.
What else is new in SwiftKey 4.2?
As well as SwiftKey Cloud, SwiftKey 4.2 also includes:
-
Better contextual predictions: SwiftKey will recognize the kind of field you are typing in and suggest more relevant predictions. For example, a contact field will learn contact names over time as they are entered
-
Smarter learning: recognizes deliberate actions e.g use of punctuation and delete keys and includes these in all suggestions
-
Fewer keystrokes needed when searching contacts: SwiftKey will now emphasize what was previously typed in name fields
-
Quickly return to previously entered search terms: Words previously used in URL fields will be emphasized in predictions
-
New settings for physical keyboards: including space bar behavior and punctuation settings
-
Improved layouts for Russian (compact and phonetic) and Ukrainian (compact)
-
New layouts for Bulgarian (BDS), French (Bepo) and Swedish (Svorak)
-
Improved settings layout
-
Removed “.com†key from keyboard when typing in a URL bar (at our users’ request)
-
If you choose “large†or “small†key height (in Settings – Theme & Layout) your prediction keys will also be large or small
Any users out there pretty excited to get to playing with the new update? Head to the Play Store now to update it or to pick it up for half price. (Usually $3.99, only $1.99)
