Hi Product Hunters! David here again to let you know about our newest product, Typewise 3.0. We have developed a new Autocorrection AI together with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. Over the last few months, we’ve worked hard to develop the world’s best Autocorrection, with special focus on typing in multiple languages, incl. regional dialects (such as Swiss German). Isn’t it annoying when you are just trying to get your point across, but the autocorrection of a “normal” keyboard keeps “correcting” that word you want to “duck” 😉 With Typewise 3.0, our Autocorrection is equipped to handle your lingo too! Besides, we’ve thought of the most common issues we encounter every day when typing on a smartphone: 🤖Unlike standard keyboards, Typewise learns and remembers your individual slang or terminology that you use at work ⏪In case you disagree with the Autocorrection, you can easily adjust corrections with a tap on our unique Undo Button 💬Good news for those who speak multiple languages: Typewise automatically detects and switches to the right language, this feature is currently available in 40+ languages 🔒Typewise doesn’t transmit any typing data, the keyboard is sandboxed. For privacy lovers, we even have an Offline Mode that severs any internet connection completely We’d love to hear your feedback so far, so please share your thoughts with us! Cheers, David

@davideberle Great and innovative UI/UX job you do. Keep up going!
Ken Moo
Really hard to move to another app as I'm very used to swiftkey now. Anyone have tried this, how's the UX? Qn: -Does it support voice text to speech? uses Google API? -Support chinese pinyin input? Congrats on the launch :)
David Eberle
@kenmoo I presume you mean speech-to-text? This is something on our roadmap, where we also want to build a privacy-friendly / on-device approach. Currently we don't support Pinyin input, but it has also been requested by our users, so it will come :-) https://suggestions.typewise.app... - Cheers, David

Great product! Congrats on the launch!

If this is a Gboard alternative, where's the support for emoji search, GIFs, and web and YouTube search? This is a swipe-keyboard, sure — but it's not a Gboard alternative.
David Eberle
@chrismessina great to re-connect! Emoji search is on our short-term roadmap, in terms of search, fair point, but there we'd want to collaborate with a privacy-friendly search engine. For GIFs we are in discussions with GIPHY but are wondering whether users don't rather use the app's built-in GIF functionality? Most social media apps and messengers have that, so not sure how much value it adds on the keyboard (but immediately requires internet access). What's your view?
Stan Chernitckii
@chrismessina Agree, Chris. But Gboard doesn't have the great honeycomb keys! I think it's just an MVP for now. On the other hand, any Google product always respects and supports Cyrillic languages - here we don`t see it. I

What a pity there is no Russian layout :( Looking forward!
David Eberle
@sergey_glushakov thanks for your comment! Indeed Cyrillic (incl. Russian and Greek) is planned. We have a feature request community and Russian tops the list :-) https://suggestions.typewise.app - Cheers, David
Kirill Tereshchenko
Like privacy and AI suggestions:) I would like classic keyboard so addon for standard ios keyboard will be great for me. Congrats guys!
David Eberle
@rtkirill thanks! There is the option to switch to the traditional layout, in case you mean that by 'classic keyboard'... :)
Kirill Tereshchenko
@davideberle perfect!

Isn't all keyboards work offline? I think you are talking about AI. Anyway, looks amazing. I will have to give a try.
David Eberle
@knilkantha we mean the app as a whole, including the AI. Most keyboards have internet access (see the permissions they use), which even can't be switched off. While our app itself also has internet access, it can be turned off (Offline Mode), and the keyboard itself is completely sandboxed (incl. the AI). More information can be found here: https://medium.com/startup-grind...

@davideberle Thank you for awesome product. I just installed it in my phone. to be honest, I had to set back to traditional keyboard after giving some try on hexagonal keyboard. I am heavily missing clipboard history feature that many other keyboard has. Also, I would like to see Nepali language in keyboard selection. I didn't have good experience while typing in Roman Nepali. I had to switch to other keyword to prevent the auto correction.
David Eberle
@knilkantha yes we offer both layouts, depending on your preference. We currently don't support Nepali language, so I guess the keyboard was set to English and you typed Nepali words which then got autocorrected to English? In that case I agree it wouldn't work well. We will add new languages in the future, incl. Nepali :-)
Eugenia Russell
?makers Hi, does it support Greek? Many thanks.
David Eberle
@eugenia_russell thanks for your comment! Indeed Cyrillic (incl. Greek) is planned. We have a feature request community and Greek is on there as well: https://suggestions.typewise.app... - Cheers, David
