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.

Very good. There's one thing that really bothers me, though, and that's Brazilian Portuguese being called "Brasileiro" instead of "Português Brasileiro" or just "Pt-Br". It doesn't interfere with my experience, but it's very offputing when I see it. Another thing I've been noticing after using the keyboard for some time is that the word bank includes too many words that don't exist at all, or misspelled ones. This makes slide typing and fixing typos a nightmare even with suggestions on.

I'm not going to change the star rating but. update to my original. the speech engine is very wonky. and I do not like that. cannot speak the punctuation. period. very customizable though. and a lot of features so worth the 5 stars, but I don't think it's for me. if it just had kind of a way to add punctuation with your speech. and not either manually. automatically in the settings. that's kind of odd, I think it's like an oversight. I tried it both ways. either doesn't add any. and you can't sp

Absolutely love this app! Albeit, problem is that its REALLY hard to type. Not just sometimes, but almost everytime. As someone who writes, i love the editor panel, but, its quite annoying sometimes and it wont work properly. Also, i would love this more if it recognises familiar words, and i had problems with it because the blocklist does NOT work. I put some words on my blacklist yet it wouldn't work. Albeit, when i switched to Gboard, the words i put was blocked there. (Have more problems!)

Please, open the Keyboard "Settings", choose "Feedback" and describe your situation in detail. The fact is that there is a limit on characters here — we can use only 350. Therefore, it will be much more convenient if you write to us through the feedback form. We are looking forward to your mail!
