I've uploaded an alpha build of the advanced keyboard, for those who want to test it out.

Usage: install, reboot phone. Go to settings > System > Text Input > Keyboards and enable AdvancedKeyboard. Then, set Active keyboard to AdvancedKeyboard. It should now be accessible in any application.

To use dictation, tap the microphone key. Note this will work better in a relatively quiet environment.

To toggle swipe mode, tap the button in the top-right. Then swipe words.

KNOWN ISSUES

• In Swipe mode, you cannot enter single characters. You have to go back to normal mode to do that.
• Symbols don't work correctly in Swipe mode.
• There is no word probability training yet. It often mispredicts short words (particularly "us" for "is" and "thus" for "this") and there is not yet any display of alternate possibilities.
• You can't swipe capital letters like you can in Swype. Nor can you swipe punctuation. This will come after I improve the prediction accuracy.
• Voice dictation sends audio in an uncompressed format (WAV). This means it can be slow on a low-bandwidth connection, particularly for long sentences.
• I've implemented basic punctuation in the dictation mode, but Wit.ai's voice model has issues recognizing the word "comma" in the middle of a sentence.

And on a completely different topic: Why does the forum let me upload .deb packages but not .rpms? Sailfish OS has been a section on this site for three years now.

EDIT: package removed as it is broken
