Where did that duck come from?

[jorhett]

I use Android phones and the fastest way for me to enter text is to Swype or Flow the words. This is where you press the first key then swype your finger from one letter to another without picking up your finger. It was incredibly fast way to enter text…until keyboards decided that predicting your words is so important that you can’t turn it off.

I sometimes find myself accidentally using the Swype/Flow systems instead of just typing words. And even when I'm just typing, the damned phone keeps suggesting ridiculous substitutions. Drives me crazy.

you can disable flow/swype

if you don't like swype/flow you can disable it with every keyboard I've seen.

I can't survive without it. It was the only thing that make it plausible for me to give up on the (disappearing) physical keyboards.

Ah--I'll dig around and see if I can find the setting to disable it. I really, really miss my Blackberry keyboard and my Palm stylus. I was good with those.
