The folk behind the ever-popular Android keyboard have today announced SwiftKey Flow, which it’s billing as a “new approach to typing”, combining the predictive capabilities of SwiftKey’s main engine with the ability to glide your finger across the screen to type words.

Just to recap, SwiftKey offers up a smart replacement keyboard to the one that comes bundled with the Android OS, one that learns how you use language in to offer one of the best predictive typing systems out there.
