Data logging could be a problem, apps are not disassembled and the full APIs are probably not checked, there have been some apps which have remotely activated some action or after a certain time/date. This would not need to be a full app so it could be easier to sandbox.
Has anyone tried 'Fleksy' it is a mix of auto-correction and swiping it does an amazing job. even without looking at (or being able to see) the keyboard.
The enhanced autocorrection should come in handy for multi-lingual people.
A while back, I loaded the Dutch keyboard on my iPhone, just to show my Dutch speaking relatives and to help with entering Dutch text in Google Translate. Usually, during texting, the switch between the emoji keyboard and the regular English keyboard is straightforward, but for some reason, I once ended up on the Dutch keyboard without realizing it. I thought my autocorrect was completely broke! It was coming up with the weirdest words for some very common (and properly spelled) English words. I was stuck in a state of "what the hell?" for a while before I figured it out.
What I said: I feel bad for future anthropologists who will need to decipher Siri's voice-to-text translations of our communications.
What my Android phone heard: I feel bad for future anthropologist who will need to decipher Siri's voice to text translations of our communications
Not perfect, but dang close.

What my iPhone 5S got: I feel bad for future anthropologists who will need to decipher series voice to text translations of our communications.
Besides confusing her name with "series" that was spot on accurate even though that was a rather strangely worded sentence. I really don't have issues with voice to text except for not always being alone, or in a quiet place, or not having LTE or Wifi. It just takes good enunciation and practice.

Couldn't one mitigate that threat by preventing keyboards from transmitting or receiving anything over the network?
what i would love to see is, for those of us who communicate in multiple languages often, to allow "misspelled" words to have a second language option that could show auto-correct options in the second language of choice. I find when communicating with second langue users, inserting words familiar with both, auto-correction can be torture.
What if you want to use more than language? In the same text/email? I often have to quote a foreign language when writing in English, and if I cannot change the language manually, it will seriously affect me.
I think Samsung has an implementation wherein they suggest previously used sentences when typing.
It made me think about Samsung putting out a 65-bit phone - "screw word suggestions, we will give sentence suggestions"!
Having said that, the person who told me about it was a doctor and said she loved the feature as it allowed her to SMS generic prescriptions without having to retype all the medicine names again.
Not being able to send any data is what i meant by sand-boxing, These new keyboards are heavily dictionary dependent they may require downloading data, or be obliged to use the in-build dictionaries.

She could add those difficult medicine names to the keyboard shortcuts.

An invention to correct auto-correct. I think I know what Steve would have said if you pitched that idea to him.
The current version sometimes doesn't work very we'll.
Contractions using autocorrect give me fits. Really like to see that fixed. It seems much more pronounced since iOS7.

Their's truth in their. Well see how it we'll evolve.
