mlc894,

I mostly use the swipe method on my iPhone, yep

june,

I bounce back and forth. I’m faster using two thumbs and tapping but if I’m typing one handed swipe is far superior.

HollowNotion,

This is the way to do it. Autocorrect is doing 90% of the work in either case anyway, lol.

Mac,

I have autocorrect turned off.
Full manual baybeeeeee

You’re a brave man

Same. I hate correcting autocorrect.

8BitRoadTrip,

How do i upvote this harder?

model_tar_gz,

Ducking autocorrect.

ritswd,

Same, but even when I type one-handed, I also bounce back and forth at each word. Swiping gets short words wrong more often, but more rarely long words.

So for instance, for “I am on vacation”, the only word I’d swipe when one-handed is “vacation”. If I swiped “am”, I’d probably have a 50-50 chance of getting “an”; which may or may not self-correct later, depending on what else it got wrong.

ZappySnap,

Exact same. Two thumbs when typing longer responses or when both hands are free. One handed always swiping unless I need to type an uncommon word or name.

Varyk,

For a long time, maybe since they introduced it until about 2 years ago, and then I feel like they really got the voice to text down, and I mostly use that now

Midnight_Ice,

I swipe and tap to type. It really depends on what I’m doing. If I’m typing one handed, swiping is really nice and super fast. I’ll also swipe to type if my phone is on the table and I’m only typing with one finger. If I’m using both hands, I will generally tap to type.

Edit to add I used SwiftKeys on Android

sik0fewl,

I've been using SwiftKey for ages, as well.

Kiwibrick,

No I don’t use it, never liked it

Etienne_Dahu,

Both, I use swipe as my go-to method but if it doesn’t write the proper word I tend to erase it and type it one letter after the other (which happened 3 times as I wrote this comment).

Nemo,

No. I tried it but I wasn’t patient enough to get it calibrated to my needs.
