This is not true. I have Beta tested there last build and gave them feed back both through email and through twitter. They responded better through twitter. I have received twitter feedback from both Swiftkey and TouchPal. For Swype support your best going to the forums. I am liking this new build better then Swype as it works better on my old phone then does Swype. Swype started getting bloated after they went to the Horizontal text selection from that of the old Vertical text selection.

I like that the menu buttons are smaller and less intrusive on this version of TouchPal Keyboard. I only ran into one problem which I did email.
[Android Apps and Games] thyttel:
Good for you. I've never gotten a single response from them. Neither on Twitter or email. And if you check their tweets, its full of retweets of users praising their app. None actually answering users asking them questions on Twitter. So you must be using a different Twitter than everyone else:P
[Android Apps and Games] Lesicnik1:
Might be good.

TouchPal keyboard is the only keyboard I've stuck with for over a year :)
[Android Apps and Games] sdotmouse:
I've been using TouchPal keyboards for a long time and would jump at a chance to help improve the product.
[Android Apps and Games] eman3316@optonline.net:
Sorry, the email requests not to share or post a link. Must obey the devs wishes.

You sure you are adding your username to the email as it requests?

Hoping to see something akin to SwiftKey's prediction!
[Android Apps and Games] Zeus20:
I'm using this product right now to type on, how much better it is then the first touch pal. I have been typing on this keyboard for a couple days and love it.
[Android Apps and Games] ba_hamilton:
How do you get the alternate symbols to show up on the second row of keys? I can't get my keyboard to look like the picture :confused:

I'm beginning to think I like this keyboard better on my Nexus 7 than I do on my Gnex. I'll give it some more time.

Has anyone who sent email since Wednesday received beta invitation? I don't know if they are still sending invites or not.

I wish the OP would just let everyone know one way or another
[Android Apps and Games] atpiggy:
This keyboard looks like just what I need...Swype is awesome but with short words it can fail a lot..so can't wait to see how this keyboard's contextual recognition works out!
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
Just got the beta link. Took a little over 1 day. Stoked to try this.

Edit. I have never been much of a Swype user but so far I am very impressed. The predictions also work very well too. My only complaint so far is the speed that the predictions are entered. There is a bit of a delay.
[Android Apps and Games] dandrumheller:
Would love to try out your beta!
[Android Apps and Games] i_m_jughead:
Just received my beta link..typing this message using TouchPal.

One suggestion would be to put short cuts to email which can be accessed by long pressing @

Hope you guys didn't forget about me. I requested before some of the people who just got it.
[Android Apps and Games] traskers:
Do the themes work with the beta? Attempted to download a few but I just get a notification about the download without the theme appearing?
[Android Apps and Games] Krep3:
Never knew about this keyboard before until I saw the beta announced here a couple of days ago so I downloaded the app from the play store and I was amazed by it. Looking forward to what this beta has to offer . Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] hatnim:
I like touchpal for it having the curve with predictions more than swype but still behind swiftkey... I hope this beta proves me wrong...

I tend to switch between touchpal and swiftkey but use touchpal a lot since it also has pinyin input ..i hope the english hotwords get updated as often as the chinese ones...
[Android Apps and Games] meethere:
its just amazing :)
[Android Apps and Games] SimonHenryz:
I'd love to try it.
[Android Apps and Games] xxmicloxx:
My expectation of TouchPal is that there will be some animations added.
[Android Apps and Games] syikho:
My only expectation is that this is as good as it sounds.
[Android Apps and Games] gaurav9291:
Was waiting for this update for so long!!

If it has got better than Swype and Swiftkey, then am not going back to them ever.
[Android Apps and Games] technut:
My expectation of touchpal is that while I am typing,I am not constantly hitting the space bar instead of the letters near it.It is very frustrating to me using any keyboard thus far.I have tried many including swiftkey.Thanks for the beta offer,I look forward to testing for you.
[Android Apps and Games] Patrick-Mav:
Gonna try it out...
[Android Apps and Games] biffcoorbit:
I would like to be a beta tester.
[Android Apps and Games] Enterprise-D:
The best of swiftkey and swype?:laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] ba_hamilton:
What animations are you looking for. There is an animation option for keypress popup in options that is pretty cool.
[Android Apps and Games] SirFork:
If I were to keep touchpal as a keyboard I would expect an input experience as accurate as competitors like Swype, with a tolerance for user error superior to all others. The other big feature is next word prediction, which needs to adapt to the user in order to have any use whatsoever. Once the core features are put together in a quickly loading package, I would expect support for allowing the community to create themes and customizations to the interface. Thanks for allowing the community to test your new version!
[Android Apps and Games] shadowxaero:
Been looking for a replacement. Can't way to try this out.
[Android Apps and Games] firephoenixctk:
I had previously used touchpal but found it to be harder to use and less accurate than swype.

I currently use Swiftkey but would like something with accuracy of switfkey and swype like abilities.
[Android Apps and Games] conantroutman:
I'm pretty sure they don't want the apk floating around freely considering the steps outlined in the OP. Until we hear from these guys that it is ok to do so I'd rather not see that happen.

Anyway, count me in. I used to use Touchpal but was lured away by another keyboard which will remain nameless, the previous version I used was excellent and I'd very much like to try this out.
[Android Apps and Games] slomo90:
I've been using TouchPal ever since I got my phone (second hand). Would love to test the new beta.

There's a few things I'd suggest coming from the current version.

- add automatic 's when you Swype a name from contacts and end with an s.

- disable auto correction when typing normally by tapping when prediction is on. When its off, it works but auto caps don't.

- make the auto spacing smarter? For example when you want to add few letters to an existing word or adding a word that right now adds an unnecessary double space.

- make shortcuts to punctuations and symbols more accessible. (With long-pressing)

So far that's what I can think of for ways to improve this awesome keyboard :D

[Android Apps and Games] marcedli:
ok, I use Swype for a year now. Convince me that this is better.
[Android Apps and Games] bobtentpeg:
I used the old version of TouchPal but Swiftkey beat it hands down, lets see how this one goes
[Android Apps and Games] jdstrydom:
Would love to try the beta. Bring it!
[Android Apps and Games] chrisp304:
Tried Touch pal a couple years ago, but went back to Swype. Looking forward to trying this new version.
[Android Apps and Games] Dalek_Caan:
Would be great to try out a new touchpal . I have used it along with several other keyboards and found it to work very well
[Android Apps and Games] xt720:
I use Touchpal a lot and would love to help improving it, especially the German layout.
[Android Apps and Games] CKal:
TouchPal came with stock Xperia X8 I think, and that was defifintely one of the best keyboards I've used. It isn't my first choice keyboard anymore just because the Cangjie Chinese input method in TouchPal can't type some of the characters used onlly in Cantonese, such as 喺, 嘅, 嚟. I hope to see a huge improvement in v5 so that it'd become my first choice keyboard again.
[Android Apps and Games] intuition34:
Contextual prediction is key. Not ha ing to type any letters and it guessing the next word correctly is priceless.
[Android Apps and Games] crazaytalent:
This sounds great... I loved swype when I had it, and love SwiftKey currently, a combo between the two sojnds awesome...

I too would love to see multi language packs, particularly english and spanish. And with a great adaptive dictionary, on that can pick up common words I use and hopefully with a better ability to differentiate between informak/casual text input, and more fornal and proper text input! Buuut maybe that's asking for too much
[Android Apps and Games] jsanta11:
Can't wait to try out a user since the touch pro wm phone back in the days :D

Slim SG2.....
[Android Apps and Games] cultofrobots:
I am definitely interested in a swype alternative as the last couple of betas have been less than admirable. I've used touchpal in the past but found it clunky on a tablet so here's hoping for a decent tablet ui.
[Android Apps and Games] ranjaheer:
I use swype on phone and Nuance's T9 on tablet..

My success criteria:

1. Cool theses like swype

2. Is quick and memory efficient

3. Easy on battery consumption

4. Has better next word prediction (lacking in swype)

5. Good voice recognition

Hopefully this version fairs well on these.

I think it's the Best keyboard for Android

Currently using Swiftkey, all my friends use TouchPal - I want to join them but need something to woo me over !!
[Android Apps and Games] calico12:
I think the memory consumption is important & good predictive text.
[Android Apps and Games] 37vincent:
Also in between swype and swiftkey, the combination would be perfect :)

I used TouchPal when I had my HTC Evo 4G but I'm currently using

Swype Beta on my S3. I can't wait to see the improvements that have been made.
[Android Apps and Games] nos2k5:
Hi guys,

I'm highly interested in testing. Last swype update causes lot of fcs and reinstalling of earlier version too.

Swift Key X drains my battery in a few hours.

So it's time for a new keyboard!
[Android Apps and Games] traskers:
Remember to report issues via email, guys.
[Android Apps and Games] Imperticus:
Interested in trying this out, SwiftKey's predictions has gotten pretty bad in recent weeks. Maybe because I used it too often.
[Android Apps and Games] chromor:
What I'd like to be improved is how words are written with a capital letter or not. I'm a German user and we do have some words, that exists in two variants: 1. with a capital letter; 2. with no capital letter. If TouchPal suggests this word, there is only one possibility to choose.

Another thing is that I'd love to delete a word with wiping over whatever letter on the keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] RCOO:
I'd like to try this one... Tired of the stock keyboard =\
[Android Apps and Games] dmoses1969:
Would love to try this keyboard. Huge fan of swiping and very seldom actually use my keyboard by tapping. Started with swype, then Flex T9, and now using Xperia S keyboard. I hate tapping keys. Cant wait to try it out.
[Android Apps and Games] Mushroom.:
I'd love to be a beta tester.
[Android Apps and Games] cheryanne:
A major drawback is with inserting a password on a webpage or app as the keyboard keeps trying to change it even when it has numbers within it. Started to drive me crazy.

Then I found the slide TouchPal button rule to easily disable and enable prediction - brilliant :thumbup:

would this be my daily keyboard app?

it looks like cool..
[Android Apps and Games] harizraze:
I wanna be a beta tester ! .. :D

My typing speed with swiftkey wasn't too great .. I'd love to try this out on TouchPal ..
[Android Apps and Games] stonew5082:
I will beta test.
[Android Apps and Games] mtschill:
I'm excited to see Touchpal provide some real competition to Swype, which provides a useful, regular keyboard function as well. Prediction is so important, and Swype fails at that often.
[Android Apps and Games] Kellicros:
i have been using touchpal for quite sometime and here are a few problem i came across. i use it for chinese mostly but the chinese prediction is BAD, and it doesn't automatically learns words that were frequently typed but keep predicting those i have never used as default.

On English side, there is no options to disable auto capitalization, which is very annoying.

i would love to see some improvements on this beta test.
[Android Apps and Games] wso277:
Would love to check the new improvements in the beta.
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
As long and as random as they are giving out the download link, I'm surprised that the apk hasn't popped up yet.
[Android Apps and Games] r0ck40k:
I hope that that it doesnt lag that much while i'm typing something.... In SwiftKey and Swype it sucks :/
[Android Apps and Games] yerazero:
after using TP5 a lot I decided to back to Swype, that imho has a better swiping recognition, at least in Italian. But I like very much the possibility to write numbers or punctuation by swiping keys up or down..
[Android Apps and Games] matson36:
hope there will be more table for chinese input method :D (cangjie3, cangjie5, scj5 ...etc)
[Android Apps and Games] tristan202:
BAck on page 2 or 3 I requested to be part of the beta test, but haven't recieved anything yet. I am really interested to see if this can be better than Swype and SlideIT. The only thing that has kept me from this was the lack of a danish dictionary.
[Android Apps and Games] gavin-phelan:
You have to email him
[Android Apps and Games] eozen81:
Does it support Turkish? If yes, i would like to try and provide feedback for developments?
[Android Apps and Games] thyttel:
There is no danish keyboard or dictionary. And devs don't answer you when you write them so do like I do and stick with SwiftKey.
[Android Apps and Games] trafalger888:
I would like to find a keyboard that I like other than the aosp keyboard. I would like to see the beta and experiment with the newest keyboard
[Android Apps and Games] domenukk:
Swype was nice but it didn't get many of the words right.

Swiftkey is awesome but you can't swype.

TouchPal tries to offer the best of both worlds? Interesting.
[Android Apps and Games] jt_seven:
At this time Swift Key is my prefered keyboard, but maybe TouchPal will be better. I'm looking forward to test it.

[Android Apps and Games] dan_jh:
Love TouchPal

TouchPal has been my keyboard of choice for over a year, no other swipe to type compares to it, and best of all it's free.

It does fail on some occasions to find the correct word, and I have to manually type, so hopefully this can be improved!

Expectations Sky High

I remember trying this a long time ago and then I left it for Swype/ Swift Key. I personally favor the later and I am using its beta version which includes prediction.

My expectations are:

Good prediction of swypes as compared with earlier versions

Nothing fancy! Please give basic stuff that works good and without wreaking havoc in terms of memory or battery usage

Please integrate. I don't want to install multiple apps from android to get full functionality of keyboard - including language pack

hi i am an old android user but i have been searching for a good keyboard. and this one seems good.

i want something which is solid and seemless at the same time. does not crash often like most others do. and provide ease of use so i can be sure i do not have to change keyboard app every often :)
[Android Apps and Games] xenocide976:
swiftkey is nicely layout, fast typing but not as accurate as swype.

the old swype was good. but the new beta is really bad

can they remove that stupid dragon dictation button and give me a longer spacebar?

i wanna try touchpal to see if it is a replacement for the 2 above.

thanks!
