Swype Keyboard was launched by the same company behind the ‘Dragon’ natural speaking software back in 2013 and is easily available in Play Store.

A Reddit user has recently emailed the developers to report a bug, but received the following response:

“Nuance will no longer be updating the Swype+Dragon keyboard for Android. We’re sorry to leave the direct-to-consumer keyboard business, but this change is necessary to allow us to concentrate on developing our AI solutions for sale directly to businesses.

We hope you enjoyed using Swype, we sure enjoyed working with the Swype community.”
