Traditional T9

About this app

TT9 is a 12-key T9 keyboard for devices with a hardware numpad. It supports predictive text typing in 40+ languages, configurable hotkeys, text editing with undo/redo, and an on-screen keypad that can turn your smartphone into a Nokia from the 2000s. And, best of all, it doesn't spy on you!

This is a modernized version of the Traditional T9 Keypad IME by Lee Massi (Clam-), with many new features and languages.

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 ads, no premium or paid features. It's all free.
- No spying, no tracking, no telemetry or reports. No nothing!
- No unnecessary bells or whistles. It only does its job, typing.
- The Full version operates entirely offline with no Internet permission. The Lite version connects only when downloading dictionaries from GitHub and when the voice input is active.
- Open-source, so you can 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, backgrounds or other customizations. "It can be any color you like, as long as it is black."
- Not intended as a clone of Sony Ericsson, Nokia C2, Samsung, Touchpal, etc. It is understandable to miss your favorite old phone or keyboard app, but TT9 has its own unique design, inspired by the Nokia 3310 and 6303i. While it captures the feel of the classics, it offers its own experience and won’t replicate any device exactly.

Thank you for understanding, and enjoy TT9!

Ratings and reviews

this is good the one thing that's not good is the location of the mic it should be listed on the top it would definitely be easier to reach and almost everyone uses the mic! you also have to press and hold it and it doesn't last that long you can let go after it says speak but if you pause for a Split Second it stops working and you have to hit it again

Hi there, love the app. Unfortunately, i'm unable to switch between languages easily. I`ve read the faq but can't seem to get it to work. However I can easily flick through English capitals, etc

Has a t9 feature...which is the main thing I was after after the Samsung UI 7 upgrade. Doesn`t have contractions in the dictionary?? The symbols should be in the same spot you move through the t9, numbers, and alpha, but they`re not. The symbols go back to alpha after each use so my ellipses take 2x as long The limited emojis are disappointing. I can't seem to move through languages except through settings. When trying to add a contraction, it only wants to add the part of the word after the `.

What’s new

This version is mostly focused on fixing bugs. Besides that, it brings official support for Android 16, and small dictionary improvements.
