Scribe is a pack of iOS and iPadOS keyboards for language learners! It provides features to help users remember grammar rules so they can effectively communicate without ever leaving their keyboard. Included Languages: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish. Current Features: - The Translate feature can translate single words or phrases from English into the language of the current keyboard. - With the Conjugate feature, a user is presented with the grammar charts for an entered verb instead of the keyboard. Pressing an example in the charts inserts the chosen conjugation into the text field. - The Plural feature allows a user to enter a noun and then insert its plural into the text field. - Scribe further annotates noun genders and preposition cases in the command bar to help users understand the context of what they're typing. Annotations are displayed once a user has typed a given word and pressed space, by pressing the Scribe key while a word is selected as well as under autocompletions and autosuggestions. - For languages with pronoun declension, Scribe also allows for the case annotation to be clicked and then the user can select the pronoun they want based on case, subject and object. Being fully open-source including data from Wikidata, the Scribe team loves to get both feedback and contributions. Please visit us at https://github.com/scribe-org/Scribe-iOS!
