So I had to uninstall my SWIFTKEY keyboard
By: Beelzeboop Date: June 15, 2020, 12:33 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I've had SWIFTKEY for years .
Autocorrect and predictions were excellent .
I could add themes and other language fonts .
Custom themes too .
Yes,I had a Godzilla keyboard .
In the last month ,2months ,I noticed everything typed has to
be completely retyped .
Utter gibberish was comomg out in some cases.
All my years of saved words ,seemed to be gone .
(And yes you vapid c*nt ,youre ,your etc,were not coming out
correctly ,especially if was typing fast.)
So ...I noticed ,it now says MICROSOFT SWIFTKEY .
The scumbags bought it ,and ruined it .
So I had to get rid of it.
Its disabled ,but I left it until I'm sure I can get Japanese
fonts on this keyboard .
No idea yet .
I may activate it for just when I need to write in japanese .
But,its a very popular app . I don't Care what ppl say about
Gates selling stepping down .
He absolutely still has his gnarled mits in everything
Microsoft.
Ergo,they're logging all your conversations ..
If you have swift key ,get rid of it .
So I've installed this .

And there is !!

Why did Microsoft buy SwiftKey? Hint: It's not about keyboards
Here's a counter-intuitive one for you. Microsoft acquires one
of the best-known vendors making iOS and Android third-party
keyboards. But this deal has nothing to do with keyboards.
SwiftKey is an incredible little offering that replaces the
native keyboard on an iOS or Android device and makes typing
much better. SwiftKey not only has a great "swiping" offering
that allows users to type without lifting their finger from the
keyboard, but also does amazing things by analyzing a user's
typing history (including their emails, social media missives,
and text messages) and incrementally learning their usage
patterns. SwiftKey then offers predictions for words a user
might want to type - with these predictions becoming stronger
over time.
Microsoft recently acquired the company for an impressive
reported price tag of $250 million. Bear in mind that SwiftKey
isn't actually available on Windows Phone, so what is the
rationale behind the deal?
Put simply, this is all about artificial intelligence. The
seemingly clairvoyant nature of SwiftKey when it comes to typing
prediction can be readily implemented into a world of other use
cases. SwiftKey is continually sifting through billions of
different word and letter combinations, both from an individual
and, more generally, in an anonymized way across its entire user
base. All of this data is collected and analyzed in an effort to
predict what a user is trying to type before they physically
enter the words.
This deal is about much more than typing, and it's much broader
than a Microsoft-specific acquisition. Artificial Intelligence
(or Ai to the cognoscenti) is a massive area of growth, and one
in which a huge number of players are investing. From IBM with
its Watson technology made famous by winning Jeopardy, to Google
with its AI solutions being applied to email scanning and more,
AI is the hallowed ground upon which vendors believe future
value will be driven. Microsoft's recent offering of a facial
recognition service that could intuit a person's emotions based
on their facial expressions was one public-facing example of
this, but more often we see these sort of AI tools being applied
internally to power-specific parts of an application.
It's an area with much acquisition activity. Back in 2014,
Google acquired DeepMind for $400 million or so. DeepMind was,
coincidentally, another London-based company like SwiftKey. More
recently, Apple acquired an image recognition startup,
Perceptio. These companies are acquiring these startups to apply
their technology to a broad range of their products and
services.
While SwiftKey will likely live on, at least in the short to
mid-term, as a user-facing keyboard offering, I suspect its
technology will end up applied across the Microsoft product
line. With this deal, SwiftKey gains the ability to truly become
more than a product and morph into being a broad platform play.
