Your security and anonymity is our top priority

All input data is completely anonymized and won't be collected without your permission. The keyboard collects your input so it can learn and adapt to your personal style (don't worry, you can toggle this feature on or off in settings). None of your passwords, contacts, credit card information or other sensitive data is being collected.

Reads, writes, and speaks like a native

The keyboard uses proprietary machine learning algorithms developed by Yandex in order to make appropriate suggestions as you type. Advanced predictive capabilities even let you receive suggestions for words you haven't typed yet. You can also suggest your own words and let the keyboard adapt to the way you talk, or just forgo the feature altogether.

An interpreter in your pocket

The keyboard knows 70 languages and can easily translate phrases between multiple language pairs, including English, Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Bashkir, Basque, Belarusian, Bengali, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chuvash, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, Gaelic, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Haitian, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malagasy, Malay, Maltese, Mari, Mongolian, Nepali, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Tajik, Tamil, Tatar, Telugu, Turkish, Udmurt, Ukrainian, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Welsh, Yakut, and Zulu. You can use the keyboard to effortlessly talk to people who don't speak your native tongue, without worrying about grammar rules.

Make talking more fun

Spice up your conversations with animated GIFs (built-in search included), emojis, and stickers, and you can even get emoji suggestions as you type along. The keyboard also supports kaomojis, which are fun emoticons constructed with Japanese characters, such as this angry guy flipping a table ( ╯°□°)╯┻━━┻ or a cute little bear ヽ(￣(ｴ)￣)ﾉ.

Enjoy tools for every occasion and a host of useful options

You can change up the keyboard's design: make it vibrant and colorful or go for something darker and sleeker looking. Don't waste your time on toggling and swiping: add numbers and other extra characters to your main keyboard layout for instant access. If you need to turn to the Internet for help, a built-in Yandex search is always right at your fingertips.

Ratings and reviews

I'm not going to change the star rating but. update to my original. the speech engine is very wonky. and I do not like that. cannot speak the punctuation. period. very customizable though. and a lot of features so worth the 5 stars, but I don't think it's for me. if it just had kind of a way to add punctuation with your speech. and not either manually. automatically in the settings. that's kind of odd, I think it's like an oversight. I tried it both ways. either doesn't add any. and you can't sp

Very nice keyboard! Use Swiftkey but the smaller screen on the fold and too many keys I don't need and cannot remove made typing harder. My only complaint with Yandex, as others have said, is the voice not adding punctuation. If I say "This is my sentence period" I want the voice to add the ".", not add the word "period". Same for commas, ! ?, etc. Swiftkey does this well, and it is a must have. The 'enter punctuation in speech' is of no value, just drop in the right punctuation mark.

I'm in love with this keyboard. Effectively esrased gboard from my conscience. Don't backspace with it on average. I turn off auto-correct because the word suggestions tend to distract me, but it's size is just ideal for a smartphone. You are less prone to make spelling mistakes with this bad boy, full stop. It's other functions are pretty good too.
