In terms of keyboard, it is difficult to get any surprises with one that surprises us, although there is always a developer who will find a niche of users who are looking for other forms of interaction, as is the case with Slash, a keyboard that uses bots so that you can even search from Google within the application and thus be able to share with your friends or family what you want without having to leave the application. But what has been said, it is difficult for us to find many novelties in this category in which it seems that everything is invented, until sometime in the next few months we can get our hands on the Microsoft keyboard that will launch on iOS and that will supposedly also end in Android.
The list of four keyboards that you will find below does not bring anything new, but it does include the best apps that use gestures to write quickly and quickly. Surely almost everyone knows them and among them are the sacred cows that seem untouchable and that based on updates and improvements are emerging to make things very difficult for those developers who set the goal of launching a keyboard app for Android. The reality is that not all keyboards allow gestures to type; I have talked about Slash and also Fleksy, another of the most popular, does not offer this feature that many got used to since Swype broke the corduroy a few years ago.
Google keyboard
It takes the first position, although this does not mean that it is the best, Google Keyboard. The day that Google finally decided to remove it from the system to bring it as an app to the Google Play Store, many developers almost shouted for the great quality it treasures and for being a keyboard that performs excellently. It always gave me the feeling of being the one that launches faster when one wants to start a keyboard, and this is perhaps one of its best virtues when one does not want to waste time.
Although don't offer much in customization, it does hit the right key for word prediction and offers great performance when one uses gestures or swipes to type devilishly fast. It is in the swipe where we find another of the features that define it as one of the best keyboards. You have it for free and if you did not try it you are almost committing a sin.
SwiftKey
It is often said that there are not two without three, but we could say that no Google Keyboard without SwiftKey. It is this app that has been able to adapt to the difficulty of the times to offer one of the best user experiences and great customization in every way.
He knew embed gesture typing when Swype started to wake up and spread among those millions of Android devices. It is the keyboard app par excellence when you want to have everything you can expect from a keyboard. It is almost a matter of taste that one prefers SwiftKey over Google Keyboard, although the former takes the cake around customization. One of those indispensable apps on Android.
Swype
One of the classic keyboard apps who started the gestures to write and who has also known how to adapt to the times to show greater strength with those updates, not as periodic as those of SwiftKey, but they did towards a very clear objective.
Predictions work great, though your dictionary is not so complete like other apps. It is in the gestures where one of its greatest virtues is found, and it is that when one gets used to this method, being able to use shortcuts from the A or S keys, saves time to select a whole word or search. One of its peculiarities is that Swype uses Dragon Dictate for voice recognition, an alternative to Google's own and that frames it in a very interesting position. For 1,13 euros you have it available in the Play Store.
chroma
One of the best additions as a keyboard in Android and that came as a non-free app which had to be accessed by paying an amount of euros. One of its best qualities was its chameleonic ability to transform the color of the keyboard according to the app where you were typing. This initiative, for a keyboard that looks like Google's, allowed it to collect very good reviews and to become one of the most downloaded new ones.
Already, when it has become free, it has managed to be one of the best alternatives those best known to all. It includes a good amount of options that go from the style of the keyboard, mode one hand, gestures to type as well as search in Google Now of what you have typed. It's free, although it's worth paying to get all its premium features like multiple languages, custom keyboard, colors and fonts, and much more.
Planets biggest that super fan!
