Try Gesture Typing
Gesture typing is available for Android 4.2 and higher and works
best for English. Quality varies for other languages, and some
don’t support it yet.
To input a word using Gesture Typing:
1. Touch the location where you want to type to open the
keyboard.
2. Slide your nger slowly across the letters of the word you want
to input.
3. Release your nger when the word you want is displayed in the
floating preview or in the middle of the suggestion strip. To
select one of the other words in the suggestion strip, touch it.
If the word you want isn’t shown while using Gesture Typing, you
can type it out manually.
