Been using SwiftKey for years (since the very beggining, probably 10 yrs at this point) and it always had very good predictive performance (i.e AI in its own right).
do you use the swiping function of it? I've found that to be TERRIBLE at "prediction based on context" e.g. understanding if I want "if" or "of" it does the one that doesn't make sense in context. and it doesn't understand that if I type a word, and then delete it and retype it, maybe it should give me something different the 2nd time around (particularly irritating for if/of).
I use it occasionally when I have only one hand available. Never had much trouble with it but I noticed you must be quite precise when swiping. As for suggestions, usually one of the three words at the top is the one I need so I rarely need to delete a word unless I really mistyped it badly.
