iSwipe Brings Swype Keyboard to Jailbroken iOS Devices

The Swype keyboard allows users to input text by sliding their finger across the keyboard, hitting the letters in the order that they're in the word. Software is used to guess what word the user intended on typing, and pops it into the text. Until recently, it's only been available to Android devices, however, if you have a jailbroken iOS device, you can install it right now.

iSwipe is beta software, and free of charge. You'll have to add the developer's repository to Cydia, but once you do, you can download it.

I found that it works well, allowing you to choose from a list of suggestions, while automatically choosing the top selection. However, I found I was able to type a lot faster with normal typing. I'd often have to fix mistakes with the keyboard. I stopped using it, and eventually uninstalled it.

This isn't the fault of the developer. In fact, his implementation of Swype looks like the original, and works well. I just don't believe that swiping your finger over the keyboard is going to be the best mode of input for everyone. But, to each his or her own, so why not try it for yourself?

To install it, you'll need a jailbroken iPhone. Go into Cydia, and add his repository under sources: http://wynd.x10.mx. Once you add the developer's repository, you can install iSwipe by searching for it. Happy swiping.
