Typewise Keyboard is an App That Claims to Reduce Typos by 80%
Gboard is one of the best keyboard apps for Android. However, if you often end up making a bunch of typos, then you might want to check out this keyboard app called Typewise Keyboard. The single keyboard app claims to reduce typos by up to 80%. Although, before you install your favorite keyboard app and download Typewise Keyboard, there are a few things you should know. It is a renowned keyboard application that was first launched in 2016 under the keyboard name WIRO. I remember buying the WIRO Keyboard app in 2016 and ended up switching to Gboard.
However, the app is back with a new name and, more importantly, the PRO Typewise Keyboard version will be available for free for those who have already purchased the WIRO keyboard. Fortunately, you can try the Typewise keyboard without purchasing the PRO version. Therefore, there is no harm in checking the application that claims to reduce typos by 80%. Another fun fact to know is that the app started out as a Kickstarter campaign. However, here is what you need to know about the Typewise keyboard.
Keyboard layout
Unlike most other keyboard apps that use the traditional keyboard layout, Typewise Keyboard claims to be designed for smartphones. The hexagonal layout offers 70% larger keys, which is one of the main reasons why it is effective in reducing typos. In addition, the automatic correction function also helps to correct any typos you make. Of course, it will take you a while to get used to the new keyboard layout.
The first time you launch Typewise Keyboard on your smartphone, you will be greeted with a quick tutorial. I suggest going through the entire tutorial to fully understand all the functionality of the keyboard application. In addition, it will also allow you to familiarize yourself with the new layout. As a bonus, you can also return to the traditional keyboard layout by simply pressing. However, this defeats the purpose of the application because there are better keyboard applications that use the traditional keyboard layout.
Other useful features
There are several other useful features included in Typewise Keyboard. You can launch the Typewise Keyboard app and play a game that helps you improve your typing speed and accuracy. This is useful for new users as it helps to create “muscle memory”. The app also comes with a bunch of additional themes so you can change the look of the keyboard. And there is also a dark mode that helps reduce eye strain at night. The keyboard also supports swipe actions and users can delete words or move the cursor also with gestures.
There are also several other advanced settings that you can modify to customize the typing experience. In the advanced settings, you can even switch the Emoji style of Native, iOS or EmojiOne. There is also a tablet mode which makes the keyboard more usable on tablets.
For privacy-conscious users, Typewise Keyboard only works on the device and is not tied to any cloud service. In addition, the application does not require any authorization to run. Therefore, your contacts, GPS, calendar and other information will not be used by the application.
Final thoughts on the Typewise keyboard
While the keyboard app offers a unique typing experience, I suggest that you try the app first instead of replacing your existing keyboard. On the other hand, if you are comfortable and quick on a traditional keyboard application, there is not much to gain by switching to the Typewise keyboard. However, if you are someone who has trouble typing on your smartphone, I highly recommend that you check the Typewise keyboard. The app is free to download, however, you can purchase the PRO version for life to unlock some additional features.
