"The Swype keyboard has already evolved several times since it debuted a few years ago, adding Dragon Dictation for voice texts and later introducing personalized dictionaries and culturally relevant \"hotwords.\" The latest update to the the beta introduces Swype Living Language, which is meant to further personalize your keyboard by analyzing your texts and providing predictions based on your most-used words -- provided you opt in, of course. There's also an editing feature that flags potentially incorrect words and suggests likely alternatives (think \"ged morning\" vs. \"good morning\"). In addition to making texts more accurate, the goal is to track trending words, not just globally but also based on location -- you know the word \"CES\" is gonna blow up in Vegas this week, for instance. That information will make for some interesting statistics in the future, but for now you can download the Swype beta for Android via the source link and see how accurate the feature is for you.Show full PR text      Nuance Unveils Swype Living Language      Nuance Innovates Crowd Sourcing for the Keyboard; Swype Living Language Learns from Users around the Globe      Burlington, MA and Las Vegas (CES 2013) &amp;ndash; January 7, 2013 &amp;ndash; Nuance Communications Inc.
