About this app

TT9 is a Nokia-style 12-key T9 keyboard. It provides predictive text input in 40+ languages, configurable hotkeys, clipboard, undo/redo, and extensive customization. It works on touchscreens, hardware keypads, and TV remote controls. And best of all, it doesn't spy on you!

Supported languages: Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Simplified Chinese (Pinyin), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Farsi, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Gujarati (phonetic), Hebrew, Hindi (phonetic), Hinglish, Hungarian, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese (Romaji), Kiswahili, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (European and Brazilian), Romanian, Russian, Serbian (Cyrillic) Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Moroccan Tamazight (Latin and Tifinagh), Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Yiddish.

Philosophy:
- No spying, tracking, telemetry, reports, or data collection of any sort.
- No ads or unnecessary bells and whistles. It only does its job, typing.
- No unnecessary network connections. The Full version operates entirely offline, and the Lite version connects only to download dictionaries from GitHub. Voice Input may require Internet access, depending on the available voice services.
- Open-source, permitting you to verify all the above yourself.
- Created with help from the entire community.
- Things it will (probably) never have: QWERTY layout, swipe-typing, GIFs, and stickers.
- Not intended as a clone of Touchpal, Sony Ericsson, KaiOS, Samsung, etc. While it captures the feel of the classics, TT9 offers its own experience and won’t replicate any device or app exactly.

Thank you for understanding, and enjoy TT9!

Ratings and reviews

For the most part, I really like this keyboard. I am legally blind, and the button layout is a great option for me. However, the keyboard does tend to crash when completing a search in google or in a website. In addition, i am kindly asking the developers to separate the Voice option from the clipboard button. I keep accidentally selecting the clipboard by mistake when I'm trying to long press to activate the voice feature. Most keyboards designed for accessibility have a separate voice button.

Brilliant app, I've been typing on my cat s22, and it's as simple and functional as can be. The special key customization 🐢, the voice to text, and keyboard modes are great. Switching languages is quick and easy. The Spanish mode works as well as the English. The biggest thing I want is customizable key sounds, but that could be out of the scope of this app. I've been using this for 2 months. Using the time it took to type these words, my WPM on here is about 9.5 🌝

So far it's the closest I've came across to touchpal which I loved. I've found the way to make the space bar wider, I wish I could make it even larger or offset it to the left or right. I also would like to be able to change the bottom keys to what I want. Like I'd prefer the period and comma down there as I use them a lot, overall I'm happy with it. Oh and theme, make one purple lol

What’s new

v59.0 introduces a new, simpler "Retro" layout that makes touchscreen typing feel even closer to classic Nokia phones. It is also a solid replacement for discontinued T9 keyboard apps such as Old Keyboard and Big Old Keyboard.

This release also adds auto-spacing and auto-capitalization to ABC mode, expands the clipboard to hold up to 20 items, improves word suggestions, and updates the Bulgarian, English, and French dictionaries. As always, it includes many bug fixes and small improvements.
