How can we improve SwiftKey?

switch automatically typing style depending on typing speed

It would be great if the keyboard automatically choose the typing style that best fit to the current typing speed as i often switch between rapid and precise. Alternatively a key for rapid switch between the two would be nice.

        I am against manual change. Let the swiftkey detect it automatically. I am still unsure what kind of typer I am. Auto detection would be brilliant!

        Add to this the auto changing of the type while typing based on the typing speed. The type can be determined with each new word and judge using the speed of the first 2 taps for any given word to know which algorithm to use.

        My vote goes to the manual quick-change. This would best be triggered by right-swipe.
        Whenever I have two free hands, I prefer rapid, whereas precise suits me better for one-handed typing.
