Microsoft Word Flow Keyboard

@lbrkr for good reason, there is no international support. I'm happy to have a US account though, allowing to test it in Germany. Of course, it doesn't support German (and I wonder if that will work in the sideways display, since the keys will be even smaller). After a while of testing, I like the sound it makes, the fast swiping (and little error) - but the emoji display is less attractive than say Swiftkey, and the lack of key division makes typing a bit less clear. It's a good start though, especially on 6+ devices I see the advantage.

@kees_romkes Sorry that's not what I meant. I meant on product hunt it could be flagged up as specifically US (in this case) Outside users of PH will attest to this that we come across this issue enough to comment. Anyway what "international support" would Microsoft need when we're dealing with the same language ,give or take a spelling here and there? I have a 6+ myself and this is why I'm more than interested in this

The one hand typing looks strange. But works surprisingly well.

@mscccc better than vanilla?

@rometty_ not sure yet. I'll let you know! It's certainly prettier.

@mscccc Swiftkey is pretty key (see what I did there?). But srsly, I can hardly use Apple keyboard after using SwiftKey.

@andym_dc The problem with swiftkey is that it's strangely inconsistent and unreliable. Most notably when using spotlight search on my iPhone 6+. Just me?

@eli_sultanov All third party keyboards request this—it's not unique to Microsoft; Swype and other apps ask for the same things. If anything, Apple makes the setup for third party keyboards scarier than it needs to be, honestly. But it's worth keeping in mind that you can only type in sensitive info like credit cards and passwords using the default Apple keyboard.

@shortformernie thanks!!

@shortformernie @eli_sultanov Just to play devils advocate, switching to the stock keyboard for sensitive info assumes Apple doesn't record everything you type.

@shortformernie @eli_sultanov yeah, you need to trust the keyboard company first IMO ;) - what is key here is that as you say, Apple makes it scarier than what it actually is and this is a bummer!

@shortformernie @eli_sultanov Google does the same thing with Android and I see tons of reviews on keyboards along these lines: "Instant Uninstall!! They read your passwords and credit card info!?!? They should be banned! I would give 0 stars if I could!!" It's annoying.

@goelv Yeah, definitely passed on this one. Looks cool though!

@askdaylen I'd say that the autocorrect is around the same, but yeah, the one handed typing and design of the keyboard are IOS specific and aren't available on Windows phone.
