Swype vs. Swiftkey : Best keyboard for Android

[Zinc]

^ Someone above also mentioned about potential security risks about SwiftKey. Something to be concerned about?

I don't think it is a problem as such.
If you allow it learn words from your Gmail, Facebook, etc then it can read the data there but then this is what the feature is supposed to do.

@mk76 : as a sample pl. read this one : link.

I had a scare when my password got inserted by SwiftKey; so decided never to use 3rd party keyboard.

But, the app was indeed a real pleasure to use - no two thoughts about that!

Damn - that is bloody scary. Have they fixed the issue?

SwiftKey's response: link. They dumped the responsibility of checking the "custom" words periodically on the user, to weed out the passwords, if picked up due to website or app.

does swype also upload your words ie. if you put in your password via swype it'll share it with its database?

Using SwiftKey and it has beaten Swype(atleast for me).
Swype is bit heavy on 512mb ram phones with Internet/Wifi on, while Swiftkey takes 2-3 seconds to initialize but then works smoothly with even flow.
It learns very fast from you and prediction is awesome + voice to speech is damn accurate.
