## What is TransKey?

Understand messages and reply without leaving the conversation.

TransKey combines a complete keyboard with translation tools, so the next useful action stays close to the input field.

CHAT TRANSLATION
- Copy a message and view its translation from the keyboard.
- Insert a translated result into the current text field with one tap.
- Use Apple on-device translation, or configure supported online providers.

CHINESE AND ENGLISH INPUT
- Full QWERTY Chinese input powered by Rime.
- Nine-key T9 pinyin with expanded candidates and user learning.
- English suggestions, symbols, emoji, and practical keyboard controls.

IMAGE AND PDF TRANSLATION
- Scan a photo or choose an image, detect text, and create a translated overlay.
- Render PDF pages for visual translation and export a translated reading copy.
- Keep text, image, and PDF history organized in one workspace.

REPLY TOOLS
- Save custom quick replies for repeated conversations.
- With TransKey Pro and your own OpenAI key, generate suggested replies and rewrite tone.

PRIVACY AND CONTROL
- Apple translation can run on device when the required language package is available.
- Online translation is only used according to the providers you configure.
- Full Access is required for clipboard-based and network translation features. TransKey explains this permission before you enable it.

TransKey Pro is available as a one-time purchase. The free version keeps the complete base keyboard, Rime input, and Apple offline translation.
