Swype typing can get pretty fast tbh. But that greatly depends upon the software.
Despite the hate it got, Windows Phone's default keyboard had a far superior swype experience as compared to Android and iOS. Probably because they didn't try to inculcate all user words into their dictionary and used the sentence structure as a reference to rank the predicted words.

Had this one been OSS, it would have been a great service. But now it has been scrapped along with the rest of Windows Phone. One of the reasons why I hate to think of what would happen to any high effort thing I make in a company.
