I use it almost exclusively on Gboard. Works well when you get used to it and in combination with the suggestions at the top of the keyboard it’s faster than manually typing. Not sure how it fares on iOS though.
I swipe about 90% of the time, but it’s so frustrating sometimes. It’ll occasionally give me the wrong word. I’ll delete the weird and slow down my strokes, ensuring I stop at each specific letter, and it’ll give me the same wrong word every time that doesn’t even make sense in the sentence context. When it works, it’s great though.
I use it and find it’s the fastest way to type on glass
It appears to work by matching the path your finger traces to likely words, it also works if you’re slightly off the letters
The biggest problems are errors like “if” and “of” that start right next to each other and finish the same, it also capitalises anything that is also a name and you need to select the uncapitalised version from the suggestions row
I swipe a lot in Russian because I learned it late in life and am horrible at writing things correctly. So I swipe across the most likely letters and then usually get the correct word out of suggested.
You just drag your finger to all the letters in the word you’re trying to spell. If you need two of the same letter you just do a little loop while going over that letter.
Does anyone actually swipe on their phone keyboards? How the hell does it even work?

Well if I know correctly, gboard is also compatible with ios, so it can work the same way.

If I understand correctly, you slide your finger on the letters instead of pressing and it is somehow faster, but I don’t understand how.
My friend once told me he wqs practicing swiping to type once
I use swipe sometimes, but every now and then it refuses to type something simple. So i hardly use that feature.

I use it a lot it’s pretty useful
I’ve tried 2 or 3 times, but there was nothing explaining how it worked and what I tried did nothing useful. It just seems stupid.
