About

Branah Keyboard

Features
Read full description

Branah Keyboard types in 101 languages, in one app. One keyboard you set up once and move between with a long press on the space bar. Add it in Settings, and it works in every app. WHAT YOU GET - 101 languages, 155 keyboards. Switch on the ones you want; the rest stay out of your way. - Several layouts for many languages: QWERTY, Extended and three Dvoraks for English; InScript and phonetic for the Indian scripts; Kedmanee and Pattachote for Thai; two scripts for Mongolian, Sindhi and Uzbek. - Word suggestions and spelling correction in English (US and UK), Amharic, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Korean, Tamil and Burmese. Type "recieve" and it offers "receive". - Chinese, Japanese and Cantonese conversion: type pinyin, jyutping, Cangjie, Sucheng, romaji or kana and choose the characters from the bar. Whole words, not one character at a time -- zhongguo gives δΈ­ε›½; nihon gives ζ—₯本. - Korean Hanja conversion on the AltGr key. - The full emoji picker. - A dictionary that learns the words you choose -- names, slang, jargon -- and offers them next time. What it learns stays on your iPhone. - Light and dark, following your phone. SCRIPTS THAT NEED MORE THAN A KEYMAP Some writing systems need real work rather than a table of keys, and they have it. Devanagari, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Odia, Sinhala, Gujarati, Kannada, Punjabi, Khudawadi and Sundanese join their consonants with a virama. Thai, Lao, Khmer and Burmese put the marks of a syllable in the order the standard stores them, whichever order you type them in. Vietnamese fuses its tones onto the vowel. Amharic composes its fidel. Korean builds its syllables from jamo. PRIVACY Branah does not collect what you type. It does not ask for Full Access -- the permission iOS requires before a keyboard can send anything off your device -- so nothing you type ever leaves your iPhone. The words the keyboard learns stay on your device too. FREE Free. No ads, and nothing to buy. LANGUAGES Akan, Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Assamese, Azerbaijani, Bambara, Bashkir, Belarusian, Bengali, Bosnian, Buginese, Bulgarian, Burmese, Cantonese, Cherokee, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Coptic, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dhivehi, Dutch, Dzongkha, English (UK), English (US), Esperanto, Estonian, Finnish, French, Fula, Georgian, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hausa, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Igbo, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Javanese, Kannada, Kazakh, Khmer, Khowar, Korean, Kurdish, Kyrgyz, Lao, Latvian, Lisu, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malayalam, Maltese, Marathi, Mongolian, Mossi, Nepali, Norwegian, Odia, Pashto, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Santali, Sindhi (India), Sindhi (Pakistan), Sinhala, Slovak, Slovenian, Sora, Spanish, Sundanese, Swedish, Syriac, Tagalog, Tajik, Tamazight, Tamil, Tatar, Telugu, Thai, Tibetan, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Uyghur, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Wolof, Yoruba.
