SlideIT Keyboard: Conclusion

     Tweet

Conclusion

When it comes right down to it, SlideIT Keyboard offers a fairly compelling input option. It's fast, relatively easy to learn, and accurate. It won't outdo a hardware keyboard, but it offers a lot of potential for people using touchscreen-only devices. I think it's going to find a permanent home on one or more of my own gadgets.

Pros

• Fast, accurate input
• Wide compatibility with Android OS phones
• Highly configurable

Cons

• The only free version is a 15-day trial
• Punctuation is inconvenient
• SlideIT's speech-to-text doesn't rival Google's
