It’s revolutionary yet easy to use, and after a couple of messages you’ll love it. 80% FEWER TYPOS A recent study with 37,000 participants showed that on current keyboards 1 out of 5 words contains typos.

SMART AUTOCORRECT Stop getting annoyed by wrong autocorrections or senseless predictions. 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.
