SwiftKey Beta 6.0 Brings Double Word Prediction, Better Emoji Access And Material Design
SwiftKey, developers of the intuitive and predictive multilingual keyboard app, launched SwiftKey Neural, which uses a neural network to predict and correct user input, and its 100 language milestone earlier this month. Less than two weeks later, SwiftKey has launched the SwiftKey 6.0 Beta for Android.
The company notes that the SwiftKey 6.0 beta contains an extensive list of new enhancements and features. The list includes Double-Word Prediction and a readily available panel of emojis. Building upon the functions of SwiftKey Neural, the company came up with Double-Word prediction, an app that is described to take “mind-reading accuracy to the next level.”
“SwiftKey will now predict the next two words you’re likely to type at the same time, resulting in a much faster (up to 2x) experience for you than ever before,” said the developer. “The Double-Word Prediction feature will continue to capture the phrases that matter most to you to truly embody your personal writing style.”
SwiftKey now supports prediction for up to two words at a time, meaning that while you type, it won’t only detect the word you’re typing, but also detect the word that follows. Moreover, the feature will be applied to the more than 100 languages that were added.
SwiftKey 6.0 beta will also host a new panel of emojis, which were rebuilt to make them load faster and easier to spot courtesy of the ribbon found in the upper portion of the panel. To bring out the panel, a simple prolonged press of the “123” key, which is now located on the left side of the virtual keyboard, is all that’s needed.
SwiftKey has also completely recamped the settings menu to be more intuitive and prettier:
The 6.0 Beta build is available now in Google Play, and SwiftKey has made the beta program publicly available on the Play Store.
