Finale Keyboard is a gesture-based minimal keyboard loaded with smart features to help you type faster. Ever used Fleksy (R.I.P)? You'll feel right at home. A new, freshly renovated, modern home. Finale Keyboard is not your typical keyboard. While you type characters as usual, most other actions - like inserting spaces, autocorrecting, adding punctuation, and more - are done using swipe gestures. Gestures allow you to type much faster than traditional keyboards. While they may take a few days to get used to, once they become second nature, you won't want to type without them. Finale Keyboard also has the smallest footprint of any keyboards available on iPhone. So, not only will you type faster, but you'll also reclaim valuable screen real estate. -- Features -- - Smallest keyboard for the iPhone: Save your screen real estate for what matters the most. - Easy-to-master gestures that let you type faster: Type blazingly fast with convenient gestures for your most important actions. - Smart autocorrect: Swipe right after typing a word to quickly autocorrect it and insert a space.

Insert emojis, contact information, perform cut / copy / paste, and more. - Clipboard history: Access your clipboard history to quickly paste anything you copied before.

About

Dzzz

Features
Read full description

Ninety small tools that do their work on your iPhone. Most apps like these upload your file to a server, process it there, and send it back. Dzzz doesn't. The processing engines are inside the app, so your video, your documents and your recordings stay on your device — and most tools keep working with no signal at all. WHAT'S INSIDE Video and audio — compress a clip to fit an email or a message, trim it, mute it, pull the audio out, add a soundtrack, make a reel, grab a frame. Documents — scan a page with the camera and get a clean, straightened PDF. Merge, split and compress PDFs. Pull images out of a PDF. Turn notes into a PDF. Images — compress a batch without visibly losing quality, resize, convert between formats, remove a background, blur people out of a photo, pick a colour from anything the camera sees. Audio and speech — transcribe a recording into text, on your device. Translate subtitles. Clean up background noise. Read text aloud. Everyday — currency, unit and cooking conversions, loan and percentage maths, GPA, calorie and health calculators, a password generator, a QR and barcode scanner. Made for Arabic — every tool is fully translated and laid out right-to-left, not mirrored as an afterthought. Numbers to Arabic words for cheques. Zakat and end-of-service calculators. Hijri dates. Qibla direction. A Baloot scorekeeper. Also in Spanish and English. NO ACCOUNT, NO SIGN-IN There is nothing to register for. We operate no server that receives your files, photos, audio or text. ABOUT OFFLINE Most tools work with no connection. Three need one, and each says so on its own screen: currency conversion and gold prices fetch published rates, and My IP shows you your own address. Some tools fetch a processing engine the first time you open them — the app tells you the exact size first and waits for you to agree. After that they work offline too. A NOTE ON THE HEALTH TOOLS The calculators report a number and its published reference range, and stop. They are not medical advice and they do not diagnose anything. The cycle tracker keeps its data on your device only — no account, no sync, and a control that deletes everything it holds.
