Is there something new? This has been around since the early days of Android. And for me, Swype has made Graffiti truly obsolete.

Seriously, if you're a fan of Graffiti, check out Swype. After a few days of use, Swype on a phone is almost the same as pen on paper. Really.

The scribles are a bit longer than Graffiti characters, but you get whole words instead of a single characters. If it gets the word wrong, the alternate word list almost always has the word I want. VERY few times do I need to re-write the word or tap it in letter by letter. Now if only swyping were allowed on the numeric pad...

Also, the latest Swype has a character HWR mode that is almost as good a Graffiti. I hope they add a training mode that would let me teach it Graffiti. That would be awsome.

My gf has compared the HWR in the Note II against that in Swype and, with her handwriting and mine, Swype is far less accurate.

An issue seems to be that Swype will try to recognise individual letters even if the word itself makes no sense; the built-in one seems to make good use of its dictionary.
