OnePlus One gets SwiftKey in a new CyanogenMod 11S update
OnePlus and SwiftKey have announced an agreement, bringing one of the most popular third-party keyboards to the OnePlus One. The keyboard will be installed via an update to CyanogenMod 11S.
“We always look to improve user experience by working with partners who share our vision of great products and sensible innovation”, said Head of Product, Mobile at OnePlus, Helen Li. “SwiftKey improves the keyboard experience for our global user base with support for 81 languages”.
SwiftKey, when it doesn’t lag, is a great keyboard, with probably the most powerful prediction engine I’ve seen on any smartphone keyboard. It may not be the fastest out there, but when it comes to predictions, there’s no match for it. The keyboard can learn from your emails, SMSs, tweets and Facebook posts, so it’s got all your keywords right from the get-go.
