Swipe style keyboard
-
There used to be MyScript Stylus and cell writer for hand writing recognition. But I haven't seen anything like that for a while. MyScript stylus was very close to what windows or palm or blackberry offered for years. But, I don't know if that could be adapted for UT
-
Maybe a possibility? Written in QT for sailfish. Supposedly as good as swype.

source code on git. Link in the above post

Does Ubuntu Touch use Presage? Sailfish's swipe keyboard uses a forked version of this.
-
Before UT I used Meego and swype was such a treat! I would love to see this as a feature!
-
Hi rocket2nfinity. I too miss a swipe keyboard option. It's far quicker.
-
Is swype really faster and accurate? It is dependent on the language right?
Sometimes I try it but I don't see it being accurate and fast to my taste. -
@kugiigi it's an acquired taste, really ^^
-
On Meego it was accurate, it did a great job with capitalizing and spaces and everything...
-
@mihael if it existed on both meegoo and sailfish there must be a way to extract it from the sources, don't you think ? They were both Linux AND open source so maybe we could just compile it for UT with the help of a script the way some .deb packages can be made to be installed for archlinux ? I'm not a developer but it looks like less hassle than trying to copy some gboard...
-
@Emphrath Unless the technology was licensed by both project sponsers...
-
@arubislander it is, for sailfish, as for the dalvik clone used for android compatibility. But the community version of sailfish made their own, based on presage, which I guess is under GPL license (if any)
