all right what's going on folks is Clayton over to android authority calm today i'm bringing you a head-to-head comparison of the adapt x keyboard the slideit keyboard the swiftkey x keyboard and then i'm throwing in the Ice Cream Sandwich stock keyboard so without further ado let's just check out some of the user interface of these keyboard on my LG optimus 4x i am running the adapt x keyboard as you can see here we've got our clean user interface throw suggestion bar at top you can check out a review on the website of this keyboard and then on the Galaxy Nexus i'm running the slideit keyboard if we compare the two user interfaces um you can see that there's like more of a clean user interface here on the adapt x keyboard and then i'll be slided there's like this 3d thing going on but of course we can change the themes on each of these so i'll just go through the themes of both ok so first off we'll just go to the settings on both of these phones you can see we have the settings open on the slideit keyboard and we're just going to open the settings on the adapt X now we have the dictionaries for both the look and feel for both but we'll go to the look and feel for the slide it you can see that we have to slide it 3d and then we got the classic skin but i'll apply the classic skin will use that we have the themes here for the adapt x and i will change that actually I'm going to keep that on the dark theme the light ones kind of cool but you can see what was going on there we have our automatic text replacement on the adapt X and we don't have that on the slide it but we're just going to go back and compare the user interface right now anyways on our adapt X you see here we have our clean black user interface with our suggestion bar here at the top and then on our slide it you have a nice white user interface with some black buttons and we can either choose slide it or ABC where we cannot slide because sliding is not allowed in ABC mode but anyways the two main features going for each of these the adapt texts are a word prediction and our automatic text replacement then our slider is our ease of use and a speed of typing by sliding the keyboard so let's just do a practice sentence with each and we'll compare if I can actually get one off faster on the sliding keyboard Iran the adapt X using the prediction so for our sentence i will put of android authority and I type that pretty sloppily but as you can see it's still a god I love android authority on there and that was a pretty quick time you know like I didn't really have to use the tech suggestion or the auto prediction on their kind of knew what I was going to type because I imported my dictionary from facebook and from my android dictionary but will kind of do the same thing here on the Galaxy Nexus running the slide keyboard right now lock open it up and we will use the slide I love android authority oh and it didn't even get the last one and it actually spelled live so maybe I was going a little fast on the sliding keyboard but we will try it again right now just to see if I can do it I'll take my time a little more now so and it automatically puts the spaces in after i press I so I love Android and it didn't get authority again slideit keyboard took a little more time than the adapt text keyboard anyways the slide it can be very useful and you know you can even get sentences off pretty quickly using the slider keyboard we'll just compare a few of the other functionalities now anyways on the adapt ex keyboard we have our numbers and punctuation button which when we press we have two options of menus to go through where we have our punctuation in a few emoticons and then on the slide that we have the same on numbers and punctuation but we have four different panels and the numbers stay constant but we do have four different panels including some arrow keys on there and then anyways on the slideit keyboard we do have our setting this cut copy and paste so that's pretty convenient and then we can actually pin to our clipboard and whatnot but uh you know kadapa ticks on the slide it comes down to preference if you prefer the automatic text replacement and the text prediction of the adapt x over the speed and ease of use if you slide it keyboard you know it's just all your choice so that's those already so next we've got our adapt text keyboard versus the swiftkey x keyboard now these are both more similar this time and we type on the swiftkey x we actually get a few you know predictions they're like we do on the adapt X keyboard so these are more similar than the same ballpark as opposed to the slideit keyboard versus the adapt text but anyways we can go ahead and check our numbers and punctuation buttons and we press that on the swiftkey X we get our numbers that we can easily hit with our left finger pretty easily get our numbers in there and everything them in our punctuation is there on the right and then we have our most cons there anyways when we press that on the adapt X of course we have our two pages of text and we can go to our settings on each actually that would be this key and when we are in our settings on the adapt X as we previously saw we have our themes the auto correction and all that and on the swiftkey X we have our personalization and our themes of course and then we have our swiftkey at stats which are pretty cool because it shows us how much more efficient we are just by using the swiftkey keyboard anyways let's do some typing tests on this one and same with the adapt X keyboard we'll see if our prediction is better on the swiftkey X or on the adapt X so I'll just go ahead and type a sentence in on the Galaxy Nexus running the swiftkey and we will put the auto prediction on this keyboard is great now oh my god most of them it did say predictions instead of prediction and bhutto instead of auto but I was typing pretty sloppily but I'm kind of trying to do that just to see how well I cannot predict a word from something that it's not anyways we'll try that on the adapt text the auto predictions on this keyboard is great so um I kind of did that one sloppy again but it says thaw auto prediction on this keyboard mistreat now i don't know if i was typing too sloppy but it would seem that the swiftkey got it a little better than the adapt x keyboard now i was typing pretty sloppy but then again i was doing that on purpose to try and you know basically say oh well these two keyboards can create words based on their context and whatnot but anyways it does look like the swiftkey was a little bit better than the adapt text so uh you know it's all preference again you guys all right guys to last but not least we have our adapt X beta keyboard versus the stock Android Ice Cream Sandwich keyboard that comes on phones like the Galaxy Nexus anyways when we compared the user interfaces of these two we can see that the stock keyboard is lacking the secondary you know numbers and punctuation above these letters that you can get while you long press on the Adept X keyboard but it does not lack a auto text prediction and you know the learning of words that you type anyways we have our number 123 ABC where we can go to our pages of punctuation and characters and whatnot just like we can on the adapt text keyboard and both of them work pretty nicely you know when you're typing they have a good prediction on both and you know they're both solid keyboards we'll just do a quick typing test and this we will put let's see if the stock keyboard can stand up well type perfectly no errors and it was a moderately fast pace you know about as fast as i can go accurately and we will type the same thing on the adapt x keyboard let's see if the stock keyboard up it timed it perfectly there and I think I you know I tried to go a little bit fast around the adapt X keyboard anyways but so yeah it typed it on the adapt X keyboard perfectly and it also typed it on the stock keyboard perfectly too so when it comes down to it you know you're basically just going to have to choose your own personal preference a lot of the keyboards we've seen today are great keyboards and the adapt X keyboard can run with the pack and all the other ones can run with the pack so you know it really does come down to preference you guys but that was our video if you liked it
