Swype was emailed by an editor (Lars Hjorth) requesting that we make a Wikipedia entry. the competitor ShapeWriter has a wikipedia entry. Swype is also one of Tech Crunch 50's 52 companies they are evaluating this year. It was founded by T9 founder and inventor Cliff Kushler.
for these reasons, I believe Swype should have a Wikipedia page.

I definitely belive Swype deserves a wikipedia page, but be wary of conflicts of interest as I don't think you're really supposed to write/edit articles about yourself (or your company). It looks good so far, keep up with the references. Lime in the Coconut 19:09, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Small problems

How can swype differentiate "tout" from "tot" or any words that requires exactly the same path ? On my phone, swype doesn't always display a choice, even if the path is very ambiguous.. 88.160.146.82 (talk) 15:55, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

how fast is it actually?

I came to this page to find out how fast swype is, and it just says how fast the makers says it is. Sounds fishy to me. Especially since it's only 9% slower than the founder brags about doing himself. Anybody have data on how fast normal people actually enter text on this thing?

Inaccurate file size?

The Symbian^3 (Anna) version is 3mb, not <1, in both the Ovi Store (1.x) and Nokia Beta Labs (2.x) versions... 115.64.12.216 (talk) 06:12, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On Android it exceeds 10MB for the Western language pack. This is huge on, say, an HTC Desire with 147MB total storage.
