Armenian Latin Keyboard lets you write in Armenian using the Latin phonetic spelling you already know — no need to memorize a new key layout. Type As you type, the keyboard transliterates your Latin input into Armenian in real time and uses a 65,000-word dictionary to pick the correct spelling automatically. KEY FEATURES • Latin → Armenian transliteration Type the way Armenian sounds in Latin letters and watch it convert as you go. • 65,000-word dictionary Real-time autocomplete and spelling suggestions powered by the open HySpell Armenian dictionary. • Four keyboard layouts Prefer typing Armenian directly? Switch to Phonetic, Alphabetical, or Classic layouts in the app — or stay on the Latin transliteration keyboard. • AI writing assistant (optional) Tap the AI button to fix spelling, grammar, and Armenian punctuation, and to rewrite your message in a warm, professional, or friendly tone. Pick the version you like and apply it with one tap — or revert. The AI feature uses your own OpenAI API key and is completely optional. • Personal predictions The keyboard learns your most-used words and suggests them as you type — all stored privately on your device. • Native iOS feel Press-and-hold space to move the cursor like a trackpad, double-tap shift for caps lock, long-press keys for letter variants, a full emoji panel, and optional key haptics. PRIVACY Your typing stays on your device. The personal prediction model never leaves your phone. The optional AI feature only sends the single message you choose to improve, over a secure connection to OpenAI, using your own API key. See our privacy policy for details. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 17 or later • iPhone and iPad supported • "Allow Full Access" is required for the dictionary, settings sync, and the optional AI feature. The bundled HySpell dictionary is licensed under GPL 2.0.
