Yá'át'ééh, welcome to the best and only Diné/Eng Keyboard of its kind! We offer a fully featured keyboard, targeted to native speakers as well as those who want to learn. This keyboard gives word completion suggestions to what is being typed in both languages at the same time! Don't want to do both, easily switch to English only, Navajo only, or no suggestions at all.
We offer many ways to customize the experience. Full explanations and details can be found on our website. However, the default settings are intended to have the keyboard working without any changes.
We currently offer thousands of words, and we continually add to the word base. This keyboard will easily be the most comprehensive Navajo keyboard ever created. Future versions will improve and optimize the word completion algorithm, making the keyboard better and have quicker response time.
The keyboard now offers the Study option. This is our latest feature to help learn the languages. The keyboard will help you study word lists in a flash card, multiple choice, or spelling style! Check the website for details.
With support, we can continue to improve this keyboard and together we can help to preserve and teach Diné Bizaad in a way never before done. :)
We appreciate all those who are and have been supporting us! We will continually strive to improve and make the keyboard better. 🙏🏽

Ratings and reviews

Ahéhee! I needed a solid Android-compatible keyboard for a Diné Bizaad class I'm taking, and this fit the bill. I'd been struggling along with my Samsung keyboard, which is fine until you have to type something like "naadą́ą́". This has been very helpful: easy to use, good word prediction, and doesn't glitch when switching between it and my regular keyboard. It's worth the $3.99 I paid for it.

Yá'át'ééh! 3 reasons I'm very happy with this keyboard: 1. FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SUPPORT! I had requested assistance late one afternoon and received a most helpful response before dawn the next morning. 2. WELL ORGANIZED KEYBOARD! The characters unique to Diné bizaad are at the top, so I can easily type both languages. 3. EXTRA STUDY FEATURE. This is a wonderful bonus and is still being expanded. About half the current topics correspond to Duolingo's lesson clusters. Well worth the price!

my experience with app has been excellent. i love it! i got the previous release and the app didnt work, so i reached out to the support team and they helped work through the issue with me and now it works really well! good job guys! i probably wont stop using this app.

What's new

Yá'át'ééh, welcome to the latest update! We've added more words. Three different study styles. The latest study list is Money. We've made it easier to use the Study feature, use the upper right key on the keyboard, similar to 📖 (read the app description or visit the website for details)!!! 😮
Thank you to our supporters, we appreciate you! 🙏🏽
