SwiftKey, an Android app that replaces your device’s on-screen keyboard to help you type in an easier way has launched a cloud version that lets you personalize your language insights – all the words, phrases and habits SwiftKey has learnt from you – to be backed up safely. So the moment you get a great new phone or tablet, your language data is already there waiting for you.
To try out SwiftKey Cloud for free, just click on the links below from your phone or tablet to install the beta version of SwiftKey 4.2:
Here’s a rundown of the three main features included in SwiftKey Cloud:
Backup & Sync
The words and phrases that matter to you will now be securely backed up and seamlessly synced across your devices. If your phone or tablet gets an upgrade, or gets lost or stolen, there is no longer any need to teach SwiftKey the people, places and things you mention most as you type.
Trending Phrases
The technology will now analyze Twitter and other news sources to sift out the most relevant daily discussions and trending topics. Sports fixtures, news events or celebrity gossip – the things getting everyone near you talking will be captured and your predictions updated each day to ensure you have the words and phrases you need at your fingertips. It’ll launch first for US and UK English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese, with support for more languages coming soon.
Enhanced Personalization
SwiftKey learns from your writing style so you get next-word predictions and auto-corrections that are completely tailored to you. Gmail and Facebook personalization can be authorized in just one click and they’ve also added Yahoo! Mail, with more sources on the way.
All this is available as a free beta right now. When beta testing is complete, these features will be part of a free update, called SwiftKey 4.2, for all existing paid users and will be available for new users to purchase from Google Play, Amazon Appstore or Android PIT.
