[Update: Official Statement] Swype Keyboard for Android with Dragon Dictation has been Discontinued
Nuance, the company behind the popular Swype Keyboard for Android and iOS that also offers Dragon Dictation, has been discontinued. The company will no longer actively develop for the app.
For the longest time, one of the advantages of Android over iOS was the ability to use third-party keyboard apps available on the Play Store. These keyboards each provide their own unique features to make text entry a better experience. One of the pioneers in swipe-gestures in mobile keyboard apps, Swype, has been a mainstay on many users' devices. The app is so popular that it is even pre-installed on smartphones from Huawei. However, it looks like those days may be over in the future as Nuance has confirmed that they are discontinuing Swype for Android and iOS.
