SwiftKey 6.0 Beta for Android brings double-word prediction and more

SwiftKey has released a new version 6.0 update for its Beta version that brings a lot of new features. New Double-Word Prediction feature will now predict the next two words you’re likely to type at the same time. It just shows two words in your usual prediction bar, instead on one and will offer 2x better input performance, says the company.

It also has revamped, more accessible emoji panel to find the emoji you’ve recently used. You can longpress on the ‘123’ key on left side of the keyboard to access the panel and swipe left or right to switch between emoji categories. It also has new settings menu, a major change since SwiftKey’s launch. It includes clearly labeled sections for all of the most important SwiftKey features – Languages, Themes, Typing style and SwiftKey Account (SwiftKey Cloud previously) , said SwiftKey.

SwiftKey 6.0 will be the third in a series of recent milestones for the SwiftKey team, which also includes SwiftKey Neural – software using neural networks inspired by the structure and workings of the human brain – and the announcement that we now support over 100 languages in our extensive library.

• Double-Word Prediction adds a new dimension to the predictions you see, helping you type faster than ever.
• The settings menu has been rebuilt from the ground up to make sure you can find settings and fine tune your experience.
• Inserting emoji is now faster, smoother and more intuitive.
• Carbon Light is another free theme that’s a distinctively SwiftKey flavor of Google’s Material Design approach.
