Swype BETA (v3.26.92.38303) has new Dragon GO! integration. Now, in addition to tapping the “Dragon” key to use Dragon Dictation, U.S. Beta users can press-and-hold the “Dragon” key to launch Dragon GO! You can download Dragon Go! from the Android Market, or just check the new “Add-on manager” section of the Swype Settings menu to download it directly (*Please note that at this time, Dragon Go! is available exclusively to Swype Beta users in the U.S.)
First, Ice Cream Sandwich users are strongly encouraged to DISABLE ICS’S BUILT-IN SPELL-CHECKER. Swype’s dictionary is stored separately from the dictionary that ICS uses for spell-checking. Therefore words you add to the Swype dictionary will still show up as “misspellings” according to the spell-checker. This produces a poor user experience.
