Swiftkey alpha adds multi-touch support

Swiftkey, which along with Swype is one of the best virtual keyboards out there, has finally started adding multi-touch support. Still in Alpha, the Android application is still being tested out but we are hoping the beta release will be launched in few weeks.

Here is what Swiftkey folks had to say at itsVIP track site:

We have made improvements for rapid typists. We now properly support multi-touch so you should not get accidentally repeated letters or accidentally missed letters when typing at speed with more than one finger. If you could try this out and in particular look out for issues with long-press keys, alternative character selection or keys where the highlighting gets stuck. We are particularly interested in results from tablet users touch typing as well as phone users with two thumbs.
