Typewise learns what you type and helps you write that perfect sentence. 100% PRIVACY What you write is personal. That's why the keyboard does NOT require “full access” and none of your typing data is transmitted to the cloud. SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGES Having to switch between different languages is cumbersome.
