In today's softModder tutorial, I'll be showing you how to download and configure the WordWave Keyboard and see how it stacks up against the standard Samsung Galaxy S3 keyboard options. You can grab the free beta version of WordWave from the Play Store. 

The biggest problem I have with smartphones nowadays is typing fast and typing correctly. I have pretty big hands and typing on the GS3 touchscreen is a tough gig. When using the standard options, Google Voice Typing or the default Samsung Keyboard, I found myself misspelling almost every other word. 

Swype was actually the fast method, and removed the need to tap on each letter, vastly improving my spelling. But swiping all over the place is not something I can get used to. 

WordWave is a great free alternative that allows for instant customization, extremely intelligent word predictions, and a bunch of cool, simple gesture-based actions that help increase speed. 

I cover all these options in detail and leave it up to you to decide which is best for your everyday needs. My choice is Wordwave, but what will be yours?
