About this app

Add some zest to your messaging experience with a smart and slick auto-correct feature, smooth swiping, a dedicated translator, and voice commands that support emoticons, GIFs, and stickers. Chat away like never before.


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.

I need a keyboard that doesn't bring back words I've deleted, and they all do that. Thought I'd found the one in Yandex, but it keeps using Russian quotes. No way to change it, as far as I can tell. I've gone through every setting on the keyboard, Word, and in Android, and it keeps defaulting to Russian. It also tracks everything, hundreds of times in the hour I had it installed.

Solid product, better than most of the swipe keyboards I've used in the past few years. Two things that would get it to five stars: 1) set the dictionary to differentiate between capital and lower case words. I want to have lol in my suggested words but for some reason it will only do LOL and most stuff isn't that funny 2) The swipe from delete to remove a whole word function deletes way too many words, should just be the letters to the left until it hits a space. Otherwise it's a very solid!

I'm another Swype refugee. Best keyboard I've found so far. Long pressing backspace deletes whole words. Biggest complaint: I can't turn off the auto-space between predicted words, which means I cant swipe new compound words or modify words that were predicted incorrectly but close. Like if I swipe "incorrect" then try to add "ly" at the end, I get "incorrect ly". I have to tap out "supergiant" instead of just swiping "super" and "giant". Edit: I get why. I'd just like the option.

Thank you so much! Your kind words make us happy. In this situation, it is assumed that you have selected a hint and plan to type the next word, so a space is added. Thank you for sharing your experience. We are constantly working on suggestions to better handle such cases.
