iOS 8 – Delivering Speed, Accuracy and Simplicity
BURLINGTON, Mass. -- (Business Wire)
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that its
popular Swype keyboard is now available for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
users who have downloaded iOS 8. Swype, the input style, has been
deployed on over a billion devices around the world – and now iOS 8
customers can experience the most intuitive touchscreen keyboard
available on mobile. Swype’s continuous touch technology lets users
effortlessly glide their finger from one letter to the next – with words
and phrases appearing as they go.
“The keyboard is perhaps the most used feature on a phone, so it has to
be intuitive, fast, and of course, it has to deliver incredibly high
accuracy,” said Aaron Sheedy, vice president of mobile solutions, Mobile
Division, Nuance. “These have long been the guiding principles behind
Swype – the original continuous touch innovation that changed the way
people input text on a mobile keyboard, and gave rise to the era of
keyboard choice. With iOS 8, now anyone can experience the power of
Swype on their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.”
Swype for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch also features:
- Quick and Easy Punctuation: Users can enjoy built-in Swype
gestures to enter punctuation and symbols for an intuitive and
accurate typing experience.
- Next Word Prediction: With advanced next word prediction, Swype
users will enjoy a natural, proactive text input experience.
- Adaptive, Learning Vocabulary: Swype learns the words and
phrases users use the most so they automatically appear as people
input text. So the more it is used, the smarter Swype gets.
- Themes: Five themes will be available at launch to give users
the option to personalize their Swype experience.
- Broad Language Coverage: Swype for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
will include language support for English, French, Italian, German and
Spanish -- more on the way!
