We're no strangers to SwiftKey here at Engadget HQ, and today TouchType is launching a major new version of everyone's preferred Android virtual keyboard -- SwiftKey Tablet X for devices running Honeycomb, and SwiftKey X for devices running Android 2.x.

share this: phrase system which learns how you write. New lineaments include cloud learning, which analyzes how you type in Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, and text messages to predict phrases in your style, plus keypress telecommunications which continually monitors your typing precision and adapts the touch-sensitive area for each key to improve outlook accuracy. SwiftKey now supports 17 languages (with more coming soon) and is smart enough to interpret three languages at once. There's also a handful of other enhancements, including support for themes which allow users to customize the look and feel of the keyboard. And that split keyboard option we first encountered at CES? It's there of course, in the tablet version.



We've been testing SwiftKey Tablet X on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 for a few days now, close by SwiftKey X on a handful of phones (including the Nexus S and the EVO 3D), and it's seemingly the best virtual keyboard we've used on Android yet. In fact, it's now replacing the stock keyboard on all our HTC Sense-equipped handsets. projection accuracy improves quickly after you start using the keyboard, and we liked having the option to turn off the spacebar-triggered auto-completion of words and phrases. Another useful feature is the ability to display arrow / cursor keys on the phone version. The supplied themes are sexy (especially Neon), and the layouts are intuitive -- much as we'd have preferred the numbers to be arranged in a row instead of mimicking a numpad. Both applications are attainable today only for $1.99 in the Android Market. Regular pricing is $4.99 for SwiftKey Tablet X, and $3.99 for SwiftKey X. Take a look at our screenshot galleries below, and hit the break for our hands-on videos and more.
