While there are number of input keyboards available in Google Play Store, Swype Beta keyboard offers swipe gesture based input for text. This keyboard learns from your text input style and offers more accurate words once you link it to your email and social network accounts. Besides that, it also integrates Dragon voice recognition for letting you input text using voice.
