Nuance’s Swype launches ‘Hinglish’ version

Nuance Communications said that its next-generation of its Swype touch keyboard will support ‘Hinglish,’ a cross between Hindi and English, in an effort to cater to India’s mobile market.

Going forward Swype will recognize Hinglish words like chai, paani, desi, garam and masti.

The new version of Swype contains unique adaptive capabilities that enable it to understand user’s preferences and typing patterns over time. This allows the application to become smarter and more personalised every time it is being used. It learns from the users every time they type or swipe their fingers to create words and offers them the next time they use the keypad by offering not just word suggestion but whole sentence suggestions as well.
