6 Best Android Keyboard Apps to Take Your Writing to the Next Level! | Type Like a Pro
3If your phone's stock keyboard isn't good enough, we'll show you the best Android keyboards to help you type faster. In today's world, most people either use the stock keyboard or Gboard, or SwiftKey. This space is simply not as competitive as it once was, so the options aren't as plentiful. The following are the top six third-party Android keyboards.
Number 6. Fleksy
One of the most popular Android keyboards is Fleksy. It includes the essentials, such as swipe and gesture controls, web search, GIF and meme support, themes, extensions, and more. Some of the themes are completely free. However, some are also costly. Fortunately, they weren't prohibitively expensive. Pinterest purchased the company and retained the developers. However, another startup restarted development on the app. The keyboard is completely free, and the majority of the in-app purchases are simply themes.
Number 5. ai.type Keyboard & Emoji 2022
AI. Type has been around for quite some time, and it is still a very good keyboard. Thousands of themes, hundreds of emoji, and a plethora of customization options are available in the app. You can also create and distribute your own theme. It has swipe typing, a number row, voice typing, and other useful features. The keyboard checks off all the boxes. In practise, it isn't quite as good as Gboard. The swipe is less accurate and feels clunkier. It takes some getting used to, but swipe typists may prefer something more accurate.
Number 4. Grammarly
Grammarly is a newer Android keyboard. It started as a Chrome extension that corrected your grammar as you typed. The Android keyboard version will do the same thing. Grammar, spelling, and punctuation are all checked. It is still in development because it is newer. Future updates will include additional features. Meanwhile, you get a very clean-looking keyboard that helps you correct grammar errors. We also like how it can explain your corrections so you can learn from them if you want.
Number 3. Yandex Keyboard
Yandex Keyboard is a usable keyboard. It has all of the usual modern features, such as a plethora of emoji and stickers. There is also a built-in translator for multi-lingual users, voice input, and support for 70 languages. You also get a heme builder, auto correct, and the app claims to use machine learning to learn how you type so it gets smarter the more you use it. It appears to check all of the boxes and performed well in our testing.
Number 2. Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard
SwiftKey is without a doubt one of the best Android keyboards ever. It has top-of-the-line prediction and auto-correction, as well as gesture typing, cloud syncing to keep all of your devices up to date, themes, keyboard customization, a number row, and more. It also has above-average language support, with over 100 languages supported. The keyboard and all of its features are free, but most of the themes are not. Microsoft bought the keyboard a few years ago, but it still works. The app is also completely free.
and finally Number 1. Gboard - The Google Keyboard
Gboard is Google's official stock keyboard. It includes many basic features such as auto-correction, multi-lingual typing, and various customization options. Its claim to fame, however, is that Google Search is built-in. This means you can conduct searches without leaving the keyboard space. There's also a GIF search, voice typing, and Google Translate. Google updates this keyboard on a regular basis. As a result, it is no longer the minimal, simple keyboard it once was. However, it is still acceptable.
