SwiftKey has saved people hundreds of billions of keystrokes.
Today the wildly popular Android app released an iOS app called SwiftKey Notethat brings its typing prediction technology to iPhones and iPads.
“Today’s launch is a big moment for us – bringing the magic of SwiftKey technology to millions of potential new users,” CEO Jon Reynolds said in a blog post. “Over the years, we’ve had thousands of emails, tweets and inquiries from people with Apple devices keen to use our technology.”
SwiftKey is the best-selling Android keyboard and one of the top ranked Google Play apps by revenue. VentureBeat’s Devindra Hardawar described it like “autocorrect on semantic steroids.”
It works by predicting not only what word you’re trying to spell on your phone’s keyboard, but also what word you are going to type next. The keyboard taps into your Gmail, blog, and Twitter accounts to get a sense of your writing style and uses this data to make better predictions.
