Dopo
aver risolto qualche bug ed aver annunciato la versione cloud,
gli sviluppatori di Swiftkey sono
pronti per
rilasciare
una nuova versione dell’applicazione ulteriormente migliorata.
Hanno, infatti, annunciato la Swiftkey
4.3,
attualmente reperibile
in
versione beta. Si tratta di una versione completamente rivoluzionata
che intrinseca
una serie di novità che hanno lo scopo di migliorare ulteriormente
l’esperienza utente in
quella che è considerata da molti la migliore tastiera per
smartphone sul mercato.
Una
delle novità più gradite sono sicuramente i nuovi layauts,
suddivisi in diversi tipi, che danno la possibilità all'utente di
utilizzare la tastiera nel modo che preferisce.
Infatti
ora si può
spostarla sul display, dividerla, cambiarne
la dimensione,
visualizzarla sul bordo sinistro o destro del display e chi
più ne ha più ne metta.
Gli sviluppatori ci fanno
sapere
che hanno
risolto anche
qualche altro bug e
che hanno implementato
la precisione delle
predizioni; nonostante
tutto, in questa versione sono tutt'ora presenti alcuni bugs che,
comunque, dovrebbero essere risolti per quando l'applicazione sarà
rilasciata ufficialmente sul Play Store.
Coloro
che sono ansiosi di provare la nuova versione di
Swiftkey, non devono
che scaricare
l’APK, valido per la versione per smartphone e per tablet in
quanto le due versioni sono state unite per l’occasione. Troverete
il
link per il download a
fine articolo. Intanto, ecco
di
seguito
il comunicato stampa ufficiale:
San
Francisco, CA, October 17, 2013 — SwiftKey, the leading Android
keyboard app, today announced public beta access to its latest
version, dubbed ‘Layouts for Living’. The SwiftKey 4.3 update
provides users with new keyboard layouts that can be resized and
moved anywhere on a device, empowering people to type however they
want to, regardless of screen size. Through extensive user experience
(UX) testing and feedback, SwiftKey recognized that an increasing
lack of distinction between the phone and tablet form factor means
users are demanding more flexibility when they type. For example,
commuters in cramped trains may want to type one-handed with their
left thumb, while a professional writing a document on a tablet may
want to type with both thumbs. SwiftKey’s latest update aims to
adapt to everyday situations such as these as well as any number of
others – it’s up to each user. With Layouts for Living, SwiftKey
liberates users with a huge variety of layouts. “Allowing people to
manipulate the location, size and layout of the keyboard not only
makes it easier to type – it gives our users a more personalized
way to interact with their technology and each other,” said
co-founder and CTO Ben Medlock. “We are committed to creating
world-class user experiences that marry our powerful language
technology with interfaces that learn and adapt to each user’s
needs.” In addition to being able to size and place the keyboard
anywhere on the device, version 4.3 of SwiftKey also includes three
preset keyboard modes: Compact: On many larger phones it can be
difficult to enter text and hold the phone with just one hand. This
new feature minimizes the width of the keyboard and allows for easier
typing with one-hand or gesture typing using SwiftKey Flow. It also
frees up more of the screen estate on tablets. Full: Users with large
screens can now opt for a full-width keyboard with left-right cursor
control keys and a backspace key above the “Enter” key. By
placing the keys closer together, this new layout mimics the
experience of two-handed typing on a physical keyboard. Thumb: For
people typing on tablets in landscape and with wide phones in
portrait the keyboard can be split into two sections, enabling fast,
comfortable typing with both thumbs. Consistent Experience As devices
of varying sizes continue to enter the market and the line between
tablets and phones blur, a consistent SwiftKey experience is an
ongoing priority for our fans. Listening to fan feedback, SwiftKey
has merged the phone and tablet apps to eliminate guesswork as to
which version of the app a user should purchase. With SwiftKey
Layouts for Living, current and future customers can use one unified
SwiftKey app across all Android devices. Leveraging SwiftKey
Cloud,
which was introduced in SwiftKey 4.2, the app also creates a
cloud-based hub for each user’s personal language profile to be
shared with any phone or device. SwiftKey Layouts for Living offers a
beautiful user experience for all users, across all of their devices
no matter the screen size. The SwiftKey Layouts for Living beta is
available to the public now and can be downloaded at
