users'preferences over time - becoming smarter and more personalized every time they use
it.

choice in how they input text, and now interprets a user's personal language style -
providing an amazingly fast, flexible, and accurate experience. New features include:

   
    - Next Word Prediction: Swype's next word prediction is incredibly
      intelligent as Nuance has integrated capabilities from its renowned XT9 portfolio.
      Swype gets smarter based on historical usage, so prediction becomes more accurate with
      each use. For even smarter predictions, the user can choose to have Swype learn from
      emails, texts and tweets.
    - Multi-Modal Keyboard: Swype now delivers multiple input modes in one keyboard.
      People can Swype from letter to letter; or type rapidly with predictive text input.
      Further, users can switch back and forth between modalities on the fly - providing the
      ultimate in keyboard personalization.

simple and with the growing popularity of Hinglish as the medium of communication in
India, we are proud to introduce Swype with Hinglish support," said Sunny Rao, Managing
