Swype has released a new beta version to a select portion of its users for testing before it’s released to the general public. The new version will come with several new features.
Watch on Mobile
Swype Gestures and Personal Dictionary Management are two of the new features being previewed in this beta. Gestures gives users quick access to some of the most common tasks on the phone, such as editing (cut/copy/paste/select all), tweeting and maps (highlight text and send it straight to Twitter/Google Maps/Facebook). Personal Dictionary Management lets users manage the words that they add to their Swype dictionary directly through the settings menu.
Swype Connect, another new features being introduced, allows the company to verify the license of each version of Swype without using a separate installer, and lets it gather statistics about how users interact with the app, so it can continue to improve its accuracy. Swype Connect will bring increased license stability, improved accuracy, and opens the door for additional new features in the future, according to the company.
