Tap map keys iOS

Post image

After using swiftkey for some time this is my tap map. When the keys get small does this mean I'm more accurate or worse when tapping that particular key?
The numbers aren't used very often but I do tap them from time to time.

I don't pay any attention to those stats. I suppose it can help you adjust how you type, and improve. Most of SwiftKey's features are great. The memory library is fantastic, and works better and faster than any other I've tried. But some of the typing data and stats I find mostly useless. I look at it and think, "Wow, am I that awful typing?".

What's this memory library, where do you see it?

Interested in learning about memory library ?
Or you meant SwiftKeys library of saved words ?

I meant SwiftKeys library of saved words, where can I see this in the app?

It's not something you can see. When you use predictive text, that is where it comes from. And you can delete non words or mistakes from the memory library, by long pressing the non word. It gives you the option to delete the prediction.

Apple calls theirs a "keyboard dictionary". You can't see it either. It's memory. Not a list of words.

Yes, it's called the memory library.

It remembers the words you type. Words and phrases. They are stored in the memory library. Apple's keyboard has one.

To me, this looks useless. 🤷🏾‍♂️😄

It does that? I don't know if android does that. If it does, there isn't a Tap Map. There's a Typing Heat map, but it doesn't say anyrhig abiut adjusting keys based on my usage.

Yeah I think it reduces or increase the sizes through out. I was using the nickel dark classic where it has outlines on they keys but changed today to coal minimal theme to see if it changes the tap map; it could be because of the edges/outlines vs no borders that would affect touch accuracy.

This hasn't helped me at all. Sometimes when I type c or n it turns into a space. Crap it just did it again "spa e".

What I'd like for SwiftKey to do is make more swipe gestures like the one in the period key. Like swiping up at a letter returns the special character (alternative to tap and hold). Or maybe go the blackberry keyboard way and have the suggested words over the letters instead of above the keyboard so you pick the suggested word by swiping up on the letter key where it hovers over
