FOUR times fewer typos and 100% privacy with the first keyboard made for your iPhone. Featured on: TechCrunch, Wired, Houston Chronicle, Esquire, Evening Standard, Tech Radar, Mac Observer, App Advice DID YOU KNOW? Current keyboards are based on the 140-year-old mechanical typewriter layout. Typewise is different. It’s the first keyboard that is specifically designed for smartphones. It’s revolutionary yet easy to use, and after a couple of messages you’ll love it. 4X FEWER TYPOS A recent study with 37,000 participants showed that on current keyboards 1 out of 5 words contains typos. With Typewise you finally get rid of these ARRGGHH-moments. Thanks to the hexagon layout, keys are 70% larger and much easier to hit. It helps you to make four times fewer typos. AI POWERED KEYBOARD All your editing needs are now met in one keyboard. It features the ability to translate, proofread, adjust tonality, shorten, extend and create inclusive language with just one click. INTUITIVE GESTURES Swipe up to capitalize a letter, swipe left to delete or swipe right to restore. It's as simple as that. 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. To improve tutorial, game and settings in the app, we rely on basic and anonymous usage tracking, which can be turned off completely using the offline mode feature. The keyboard itself is not tracked at all. https://typewise.app/privacy-policy-app/ SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGES Having to switch between different languages is cumbersome.
