About

It used error-correction algorithms and a language model to predict intended words, supporting handwriting and speech recognition. Swype Inc. was acquired by Nuance Communications for $100 million in October 2011, and Nuance discontinued the product in February 2018, pulling it from both the Android Play Store and Apple App Store.
