Fun fact: about 35.7 percent of American adults are obese, whereas about 26.1 percent of adults in the U.K. earn the “obese” label.–Huffington post

Same here, this weekend i couldn’t use speak to text audio, it would pop up but not record/recognize what i was saying, like it couldn’t connect to the network.

Hmm, strange. I have an envelope with an arrow above it that’s pointing up. It is essentially an “enter” button and will send any text that I’ve typed out. It shows up on my GNex running Bugless Beast 4.1.1 and it shows up on my Stock Nexus 7 (using Swiftkey 3 Tablet). Too lazy to upload screen shot at the moment.

Swiftkey’s been broken for me since JB. It can’t predict a word correctly if I miss the first letter. Hit the first letter, and I’m fine. But miss it and it’s done.

My Swiftkey currently isn’t working. I get “Network error. Could not download language pack. Please ensure that you have a data connection available (preferably WiFi) in order to continue. You may need to try again later if the network is busy.”

The issue started happening after I unlocked and rooted my phone. So far, non of Swiftkey’s workarounds have fixed the issue.

I don’t like the look of or prediction of the stock JB keyboard but to each their own.

Now if they would just get the predictions figured out for JB…

This is to all Europeans.. regarding the bag company in London that printed bags with “I just rented my flat to a fat american”
American win in Olympics = 2296 medals
Great Britain win in Olympics = 715 medals

Swiftkey is waayyyyyyy overrated. Stock JB keyboard is so much better.
I guess it works for people who depend on prediction… I would rather have a keyboard that has a fantastic auto-correction system. I can’t seem to get into the habit of CHOOSING predictions rather than focusing on what I need to type.

Stock has slower prediction (in JB anyway). It works great just not as good in a lot of cases. Once you use Swiftkey for more than a week, you realize how damn good it is. It was VERY hard from me to move away from Swype style typing to the Swiftkey style. Once I made it over that hard to change period, my typing speed doubled. Also, Swiftkey scans your Facebook/RSS/SMS/Twitter/& Gmail for keywords you normally wouldn’t go & put in your dictionary. It adapts to your style over time & really does come pretty freaking accurate with its prediction. It also comes with themes + misc other features. There’s a reason it’s so popular nowadays on Android.

Wondering this myself. I feel like Swype + stock keyboard is all I need. People say the word prediction is great, but I feel like word prediction slows me down.
