The seemingly clairvoyant nature of SwiftKey when it comes to typing prediction can be readily implemented into a world of other use cases.

Put simply, this is all about artificial intelligence. Bear in mind that SwiftKey isn't actually available on Windows Phone, so what is the rationale behind the deal? Microsoft recently acquired the company for an impressive reported price tag of $250 million. SwiftKey then offers predictions for words a user might want to type - with these predictions becoming stronger over time. SwiftKey not only has a great "swiping" offering that allows users to type without lifting their finger from the keyboard, but also does amazing things by analyzing a user's typing history (including their emails, social media missives, and text messages) and incrementally learning their usage patterns. SwiftKey is an incredible little offering that replaces the native keyboard on an iOS or Android device and makes typing much better.
