Tips to Type Faster in Android's Keyboard

Tips to Type Faster in Android's Keyboard: 


Most of us missing a lot of great features in our Android phone or Tablet's Keyboard to tapping out the words! 

In fact, we just press the keys to make a word without paying attentions to any of these in-built excellent features!! Knowing these features will make you master then help you to type faster and save time while entering texts. 
Note: Android Keyboard is a piece of software utility with its own unique tricks. It can also be swapped-out or replaced by another keyboard that you might like better.

Swipe Typing: Android 4.2's default keyboard has the ability to type words simply by swiping your finger over them. To type a word (by swipe), simply touch the first letter then glide your finger over the letters. For instance, to type Porto, touch 'p' then glide your finger to 'o' further to 'r'. Android's software will guess the word and displaying it above the keyboard. Lift your finger, the word will be typed. You can follow the way to type many words as sequence quickly, and lifting your finger from the screen between each word(s).  

Prediction of Word and Auto Correction: When tapping a word, Android 4.2's keyboard will try to predict then guess the word you're about to type. For example, when you type messa then the word message will be displayed above the keyboard. Then tap the space bar to move for next word and Android will automatically fill the rest of the word that you're going to type.      
The keyboard will even be useful for the guessing context that you're wishing to type.  

Voice Typing: This feature can be used when your hands are not free, and just dictate the texts over the microphone. For voice typing, you should tap the microphone button to be on from the keyboard then enter the words by speaking them. This feature sends your voice input to Google's speech recognition service, where it is examined and converted as text then send back to your phone. 
An internet connection is required for this feature and you may feel the massive computing power of Google, which makes a wonderful accuracy of input. To entering the special marks such as punctuation - say PERIOD, for comma - COMMA, and for question mark or exclamation mark - QUESTION MARK or EXCLAMATION MARK then Android will enter the appropriate marks to the speaking words.  

Offline Speech Typing: To use this option you should have 4.2 or higher versions of Android and need to install the appropriate Offline Speech Recognition language dictionaries, too. This dictionary, by default, for English probably installed on your phone. Any how to install other language dictionaries, Settings > (tap) Language & input > (again tap) Settings Button, which is in the right of Google Voice Typing. The voice recognition will be less accuracy in this offline mode. 

Keyboard Settings: Customizing  keyboard  of Android supported phone is simple. Settings > (tap) Language & input > (again tap) Settings Button to the right of (e.g., Samsung) keyboard. After tap this, a screen shows many options like Portrait keyboard types, Input languages, Predictive text, Continuous input, Keyboard swipe and etc., From these options you can customize your phone's keyboard settings depending on your requirements.  

Replacement of Third Party Keyboards: Android supporting keyboards of third-party and they can be installed from Google Play to switching on your device.
