paul c pretty much summed it up in his post. I'm always switching between Swype and SwiftKey, so I'm very curious to see how this keyboard works if it's a hybrid between the two. I can't wait to try it out. Looking forward to testing it out.
[Android Apps and Games] Devastator88:
looking forward to test TouchPal because Swype lack so many feautures :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dj Telo:
Applying right now!

Both Swype and SwiftKey are great keyboards but, as you say in the first post, both lack some basic features and the feedback with the dev's barely exists. This new version of TouchPal looks promising and developers asking for feedback in this forum will get a huge amount of information to code the perfect keyboard.

Can't wait to try it!
[Android Apps and Games] Durthquake:
I would love to give this a try!

I use swiftkey right now for its predictions, but loved swype for its sliding... If this has both those and is anywhere near as good, you will have a user for life!
[Android Apps and Games] djorke:
Touchpal is keyboard I've been using a while. I hope new version will offer more customizations
[Android Apps and Games] sparkie6point0:
I'd be interested in trying and contributing my feedback. Always game to try new (and hopefully better) things.
[Android Apps and Games] tahiriqbal:
so many people liked it, i wanna give it a try too. let's see what's my experience with touchpal like.

thanks!

Swiftkey - Touchpal

I love the predictions of Swiftkey, it is making typing very easy and fast, but i also like the concept of Swype, and this here is a great chance to put them together in one keyboard :D
[Android Apps and Games] sangiro:
Feel the speed!--TouchPal Keyboard V5 Beta Testing Invitation!

Would love to see if TouchPal will support prediction on Afrikaans my home language. One of the main reasons I use SwiftKey
[Android Apps and Games] xxquicksh0txx:
I used to use swiftkey, saw your post on xda about earlier versions of Touchpal and have been using it ever since.
[Android Apps and Games] yudi7:
I like TouchPal keyboard. But the only reason I'm not using it is because Hinglish language is not present in it. As I'm an Indian, I really need Hinglish. At the moment I'm using Swype(Because Hinglish is present in it), but its not perfect. Though living learning feature is great in Swype.
[Android Apps and Games] Gremaldin:
I used TouchPal when it was first released and I liked it. I thought it had great potential. If the new version combines the best of Swype and Swiftkey, I would definitely like to try it out
[Android Apps and Games] khngkaho:
Can't wait to be a part of the test group! Looks great:P
[Android Apps and Games] shaneel1491:
Looks promosing, can't wait to take it for a test drive!!
[Android Apps and Games] Cloaker:
I've tried every swipe keyboard I think.

SlideIT doesn't have very good accuracy. Swype beta for my device has a lot of bugs.

I would love to try this out and see what I can dig up on it, because so far I haven't found a keyboard I love yet.

:)

Im expecting this to epic as i ditched swypeand swiftkey when i was using touchpal 4

Beta Test

Looking forward to testing this keyboard
[Android Apps and Games] AnnonymousFalcon:
Last version wasnt too tablet friendly,lets see how this goes!
[Android Apps and Games] pulser_g2:
I'm after something that can merge the learned predictions of Swiftkey with the speed of input of Swype... I can get to a good speed on both, but if Swiping input could give some sensible predictions, I think you've hit the nail on the head!
[Android Apps and Games] Punggol:
Love this app:) Would like better word prediction.
[Android Apps and Games] xelin0:
Looking forward to testing this, currently swype is my go to keyboard, but will be interesting to see competition!

Looking forward to beta test, hopefully better than my SwiftKey :D
[Android Apps and Games] mamouton:
I am interested in seeing if Touchpal can replace Swype for my daily use.
[Android Apps and Games] KonstantinKeller:
Looking forward to test this app! I really hope that it has great word prediction and fast sliding input. I used to use Swype due to it's fast input, but am currently using SwiftKey because of it's insanely accurate predictions. I hope this app will combine both of those features to make an insanely awesome keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] foxsdaddy67:
sounds great! always looking for better options!
[Android Apps and Games] mikebrodesky:
Can't wait to try the new beta, I've used the current version and liked it except for the predictions.
[Android Apps and Games] pdane:
Would love to have the best features of the two other keyboard options out there.
[Android Apps and Games] cordell507:
Been looking for a replacement for swiftkey, it uses way to much RAM
[Android Apps and Games] Mooncalled:
I would like to give this a try. I've been using swype for a long time and I feel it's infinitely superior to the stock keyboard that came with my HTC One S. I'm always looking for improvements though.

I would expect accuracy in my predictive text more so than speed.
[Android Apps and Games] Andy3105:
Looking forward to testing thisout, I have used the last version previously and loved it.

Just hoping for the next thing better than swype beta. Since swype was purchased and re-written it does not seem as useful. I have to do more manual corrections than previous.
[Android Apps and Games] shut_down:
Did you expand languages? Serbian perhaps?
[Android Apps and Games] Toisan:

[Android Apps and Games] Jass5991:
Comments and Expectations

I have used TouchPal before and was very pleased with it. However, it would be nicer if:

Text prediction on user speech patterns (Like swiftkey)

Reconfigurable layout of keys

Longer sliding line

Easy theming support

custom gestures (for instance, typing e-mails)

Hope this helps. It is an excellent (and free) alternative to Swype, and is an excellent replacement either way.
[Android Apps and Games] daeshawn:
Yes txt prediction on user speech would be great
[Android Apps and Games] sydbarrett55:
It's amazing

Thank you very much
[Android Apps and Games] nathantaylor:
I like touchpal and want to try the beta!
[Android Apps and Games] TraumaX:
I am definitely looking forward to a new version of TouchPal. It was my keyboard of choice for a long time and for tap input I still believe it second to none.

However, I am now converted to input through swiping and I switch between Swype and Touchpal Curve.

I use Swype as my main though as I actually find it more accurate than TouchPal for entering text, and ultimately this is the most important issue. TouchPal is more intuitive to use and the one I would prefer to use though.

Keep up the great innovation!
[Android Apps and Games] alexandrepr:
Bridging the gap

I am an avid user of touchpal and invite android users in my company to use it too.

Most of the time users are split between swiftkey and swipe (best press and pre installed…)

I believe you were already quite close to bringing the best of both worlds, looks like v5 might be it.
[Android Apps and Games] a43:
Wanna test it too! :)
[Android Apps and Games] LivingPerson:
I expect a light keyboard application. Will TouchPal be as light as default AOSP keyboard?
[Android Apps and Games] ppa25:
I tried your keyboard in the past and was disappointed with the accuracy. Loved the look though. Looking forward to see the improvements made.
[Android Apps and Games] 052:
I kinda grew tired with swiftkey, I really need a speedy keyboard, can't wait to try TouchPal!
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
I am a mostly satsified Swype (Beta) user. It sure took them a long time to give individual languages as download options. It works mostly well but I often need to go to Hacker's just to input some simple text or command. So a simple way to toggle so-called predictions/"corrections" is needed--one click. And even if I want it, the substituted text is sometimes off the wall.

So I am eager to try this one!
[Android Apps and Games] shoey-n:
Looking forward to trying out the beta
[Android Apps and Games] Medlock87:
Wow..I can't wait to possibly help test this keyboard. SwiftKey's (my main keyboard) prediction capabilities with Swype's gesture-based input can be nothing short of pure win! :D
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
Just want to say that after a few days use of the beta I am truly amazed at the accuracy of the predictions! I am now a swipe convert! My only complaint is speed in which the predictions are entered after pressing the spacebar to insert.
[Android Apps and Games] Blasphy62:
Hello there, I was also part of your original Touchpal beat. Would love to help with this also. Cheers!:good:

[Android Apps and Games] Dh258:
Looking to pick up a better alternative to swift key x, and thumb keyboard for my tablet. I'm liking what I'm hearing so far!
[Android Apps and Games] wd5gnr:
Swype is one of the first things I download on a new device. But I often wish Sywpe did predictions like some other keyboards. Also, it is mysterious to me why more keyboards don't have a clipboard manager like the Samsung keyboard where I can store things I type a lot, access them easily and paste them. Or even better if the keyboard would just type them. Sline keyboard kind of has this but not what I would consider a good implementation (big icons, no sliding, etc.)

Would appreciate a beta invite and will send the email. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] elton.dsouza:
sounds promising .... i want in
[Android Apps and Games] johanlh:
Sometimes I need to Swype and others to tap, neither Swype nor Swifkey are good enough to let me switch from a mode to another. I want to give a try to TouchPal and see if it meets my needs. I want to be a beta tester too.
[Android Apps and Games] NocturnalDroid:
Purchased Swiftkey 3 ... I don't even use it because it's that laggy on my Galaxy Fit. I used Touchpal before but was disappointed, I'm interested in v5 though if the curve feature is being improved.

[Android Apps and Games] moogtheartist:

[Android Apps and Games] Nightshad3:

[Android Apps and Games] djbeck811:
Willing to give it a try.

I am a huge Swype fan but am willing to give it a try.
[Android Apps and Games] micahman:
Swype has been horribly buggy for me and I remember Touchpal from back in the day. Please count me in as a beta tester. Looks very promising.
[Android Apps and Games] kam333:
I'm in,

the current market version is good, just too small for my phone.

would like to see a freely resizable keyboard with the option to show dedicated 5th row for numbers, make use of larger screens, also dedicated editing layout.

edit: forgot to add... themes (if poss')

cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] Humanreflect:

[Android Apps and Games] Robobob1221:
hoping to see improvements

Before Swiftkey this was my go to, but I started to find it a little laggy and the dictionary often forgot my words, gestures.

Hope that the current BETA looks to improve those features. Would also like to see a Japanese dictionary included as this is often overlooked.
[Android Apps and Games] veeman:
I would like to test it out as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Wickedares:
beta

i would like to see how this compares to swiftkey my daily driver since it released. and would like to provide feedback on the experience.
[Android Apps and Games] albyrock87:
I always wanted a sliding input on SwiftKey, so if TouchPal will do it, I'm going to use it! :good:

Anyway, the Italian dictionary is really poor on TP4..
[Android Apps and Games] jbarcus81:
I love Touchpal and use it every day!! V5 coming up?? NICE!!
[Android Apps and Games] hughfollett:
Can't wait to try this new beta! I find this keyboard really great!
[Android Apps and Games] 424aca:
it should have the ability to memorize your typing pattern
[Android Apps and Games] evodev:
Swype sucked on my nook tablet, but okay on my phone. I'm typing this on my tablet using stock cm9 keyboard, so I might as well try out a new one after I gave up a few months ago:) email coming in a sec!
[Android Apps and Games] arnavk007:
I love touchpal. I would love to test it.
[Android Apps and Games] StygiAn TrepidAtioN:
Oh this is terrific!!!

Most pleased to be part of this development!

Honestly, i'd previously reverted back from touchpal to swype coz i somehow found the latter more user-friendly. But i hate the fact that improvements rarely happen on swype and it's prediction really is outdated!

Hope these shortfalls are not to be in the upcoming touchpal :). And one thing i really loved about swiftkey is it's ability to memorize entire text and reproduce it in case it's accidentally deleted. Something of that sort would be most welcome here :)
[Android Apps and Games] schmeichler:
would like to try an alternative to the swipig I have been using...
[Android Apps and Games] jonathanljs:
I agree with this entirely. Swype beta is great, but it doesn't learn very cleverly, so I hope the new TouchPal will.

It should also embrace multiple languages, and its dictionary should be editable - user dictionary for sure, but also the main dictionary if possible, so it doesn't keep suggesting stupid words that you never use in preference to ones that are more likely...
[Android Apps and Games] placis:
definitely would like to test out the beta...
[Android Apps and Games] RiTZiE_CDN:
I'm currently using Swype and am looking for better prediction and less errors to avoid tons of corrections when writing email/text.
[Android Apps and Games] solidkundi:
OH yeahh......

i'd love to test this out :D
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Currently using Swype beta but I find the prediction and auto correction to be pretty poor, and it doesn't seem to learn either that if its constantly predicting the wrong word and im manually changing it next time i'd expect it to be that word.. Can't wait to try out TouchPal and see how it fares in that arena
[Android Apps and Games] Souler19:
YES!

This look great, i look forward to helping you test the product.
[Android Apps and Games] padalua:
Would love to test this out!
[Android Apps and Games] tcchuin:
I hope that it can be the swiftkey with swype function :D
[Android Apps and Games] Warell:
I´ve been using swype since before it was taken over by nuance. All I can say now, is they are destroying swype.

So, I would love to find a new, better keyboard to replace the (now) bloated, non customizable and bad experience swype has become.

Simple saying, what I expect from a keyboard is:

1) Good support for my language (Brazilian Portuguese) with possibility to quickly change to a second language (English) since many times I need to put a English word in the middle of a Brazilian sentence.

2) Support to fast activate the Google Voice Engine, for the times I can not slide my finger in the keyboard, but I still want to take of send a note.

Here is the main point swype is terrible now. Nuance is forcing all users to use their own, terrible voice recognition system, the Dragon, putting google´s faster, better engine in a place where it is really hard to activate and access.

3) Support for theming, this is good, since you can make the keyboard to look the way you like.

That said, thanks for the chance to give feedback. I would love to be a beta tester, and I´m sending you an email right now.

I like the implication to SwiftKey only due to that keyboard, being my go-to atm, would be perfect in my opinion with the option of sliding as an input. I'm guessing you're aiming for something like that with this revision that you're testing! :cool:

Touchpal

This looks exciting!

I was a swype user for a long time and never really cared for swiftkey! I've switched back to the stock keyboard as of late because its a lot more accurate than using swype!

I've read a lot of the comments in this thread and everyone has some great input to touchpal and i would love the opportunity to be a beta tester for this keyboard! I'm looking for something that is quick and accurate. A lot of the time i am on the go and cant stop to type out a text. So a keyboard that makes typing out a long text or email quick and accurate would be awesome!

Looking forward to downloading the beta soon!
[Android Apps and Games] fdefreitas:
I've liked touchpal since before it got all that swyping thing added to it, the original basic keyboard was superb, and better in every way than Android's default one. It's a shame it wasn't available on Google Play for 2.2 and above, then you launched the new version, wich was great, but it kind of lost the simplicity and lightweight of the previous version. It was great anyway, but since i had a Huawei UM840, a very basic Android phone it couldn't keep using Touchpal, neither Swype. Now i have an SE Xperia Mini Pro. And have been using swype for a while. but it's annoying sometimes. And could be better with small screen phones like mine. Maybe yours could be better.
[Android Apps and Games] myth999:
Great to see a new beta version coming, had beta tested v4.8 in August, 2011.

1. Would love to see the numbers section in the keyboard to be in a dialpad format rather than all numbers in a straight line.

It does come in dialpad format but only while entering pins or smthn similar and not always.

2. The En. language button could be removed and rather be accessed from the settings button (gear icon)

3. Also + symbol could be on the first page of symbols listed, if majority people want it that way.

So far so good.

Hope to beta test the new version as soon as you send it.

Regards

[Android Apps and Games] Flint420:
i would like to see more symbols added to the "asdfg" row. also would be nice to see it learn your swiping patterns a little better. some words are just impossible to swipe. still the best keyboard out there in my opinion. auto caps does not always work though.
