As our keyboard doesn't require internet, the AI and the dictionaries are entirely within the app. So while it seems large it does pack quite a punch, so to say (write).

So, concerning privacy: >How can you guarantee that you protect privacy? For our offline version (Offline Privacy Keyboard), you can find in the Google Play Store that we do not require permissions to access the internet. ( https:/

Peach UBI follows a very interesting concept, but we do not support them financially. Luckily, there are other way ways to support a good idea :)

Wow, thank you for the detailed feedback! Minuum indeed takes a different, nonetheless interesting approach. Our focus lies with the data privacy of users' typing data and the hexagonal layout. In terms of switching languages, our keyb

Thanks for the feedback, Ben! We built the Typewise keyboard with two-thumb typing in mind, so while a full swipe functionality is not yet on the horizon, we are first building a one-hand mode.

Thanks Ben! Well, we are continuously expanding the langauges available, we started with languages using the latin alphabet, but we hope to add more soon. The AI in our keyboard already does recognize the language you are using and switches

That's certainly true. However, just because it's difficult doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Especially because current solutions have not solved the problem of tedious typing on phones, and many are violating user privacy

Our AI learns on the device itself. We've designed the AI in a way that this is done efficiently without consuming much power. What we'd like to add in the future is a way that you can load your Whatsapp/etc. history into Typ

It's not only about the actual words you're typing. This is one thing and you can opt to "trust" Google that they do what they say (which is not always the case, as previous scandals show). But it's also about other

Haha, actually it's the single most praised feature from our users :-) It's that benefit you get instantly, as typically the user "gets" it within seconds and really speeds things up. As I wrote in my lengthy comment, wh

There are three components to my answer :-) 1.) The actual keyboard, due to its mobile-optimized design, leads to 4X less typos; this is irrespective of privacy 2.) Our neural network performs 'at par' with the others, even though

And here's exactly the challenge. Google will not tell you how exactly they use your data. What you can check though is what data the keyboard is able to access, and then imagine the worst. Here's an excerpt from Play store, of Gb
