I use it, and combining it with autocorrect and suggestions I find it really easy and fast to use.
I tried it several times and couldn't get the hang of it. I'd always overshoot the character I was going for. I had a colleague who was amazingly fast with swiping to type.
I tend to swipe (on Android btw) whenever I only have one hand available, and type when I have both. It works really well and barely ever comes up with a wrong with.
Yes. I was the last last person I knew to get a smart phone.
Swiping is the only way I can possibly type on a non-tactile keyboard. It works even better than I first expected.
iPhones can natively do swipe to text and I love the feature. It also seems to have improved accuracy as a result of the iOS 17 keyboard updates. I always find myself mixing swipe to text and regular typing together. I hardly even think about it really.
swipe for common 3+ letter words, tapping for unusual words and uncommon pronouns, and very short words. I guess I've learned what swipe is good at guessing and what it's bad at.
The only time I've ever used swipe was when Nintype/Keyboard69 was still supported. The two finger swipe was the only time swipe could keep up with my tap typing speed, and sometimes exceed it, but since then nobody has come in and done anything as revolutionary with the typing game, and Nintype is simply too out of date and buggy, but man, I really miss it.
