New Swype beta adds 'Living Language,' uses crowd-sourcing to predict your texts

The Swype keyboard has already evolved several times since it debuted a few years ago, adding Dragon Dictation for voice texts and later introducing personalized dictionaries and culturally relevant "hotwords." The latest beta introduces Swype Living Language, which is meant to further personalize your keyboard by analyzing your texts and providing predictions based on your most-used words. There's also an editing feature that flags potentially incorrect words and suggests likely alternatives (think "ged morning" vs. "good morning"). In addition to making texts more accurate, the goal is to track trending words based on location -- you know the word "CES" is gonna blow up in Vegas this week, for instance. That information on will make for some interesting statistics in the future, but for now you can download the Swype beta for Android via the source link.
