Speak naturally, or rewrite text already in the current field. With nothing selected, KeycoBoard rewrites all the text it detects in the field; select part of it to rewrite only that part. You get the result in the tone, length and language you choose, right in the text field. No prompts to write. No copying and pasting between apps. VOICE INPUT YOU CONTROL Choose a style before you speak: more formal for a work update, more relaxed for a chat, or another language entirely. Tap the mic on the KeycoBoard keyboard and talk. Your words come back cleaned up and written in that style, ready to send. Follow progress on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. REWRITE WITH SLIDERS Set the sliders and tap Apply. With nothing selected, KeycoBoard rewrites all the text it detects in the current field. Select part of it, and only that part changes. Six dimensions give you 9,375 combinations: - Length: from a short summary to a fuller version - Depth: from plain words to expert terms - Tone: from casual to formal - Emotion: from neutral to enthusiastic - Emoji: from none to plenty - Structure: keep it conversational or turn it into a numbered list TRANSLATE IN PLACE Translate all the text detected in the current field, or select just the part you need. You can also speak in your own language and get text in another. Supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Cantonese. Reorder or hide languages in Settings. KNOWS WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY WRITTEN KeycoBoard uses the text already in the field as context, so formatting and wording fit what came before. Keep talking or writing without explaining the background again. WORKS WHERE YOU TYPE Use it in messaging, email, notes and most other apps with a text field. Tap the globe key to switch to KeycoBoard, and tap it again to go back to your usual keyboard.
