Hello Product Hunters! Have you ever thought that QWERTY keyboard layout was created in 1873 for typing machines and it hasn’t been changed a lot since then? So you are most likely to use 150-year old technology on your smartphone! During the past year our small multicultural team from Switzerland has been working on reinventing the smartphone keyboard, adapting it to typing with 2 thumbs. As a result, we’ve created Typewise – the keyboard that helps you type faster and reduce your typos by 80%. This is achieved by our patented hexagon layout, own autocorrection and word prediction algorithms, which we develop together with ETH Zurich, one of the leading universities in the field of AI. Our algorithms work fully offline (in comparison with widespread cloud-based algorithms), so the data is kept safe on your device, and you can enjoy 100% privacy using Typewise. Here are some of my favorite features: -Modifying auto correct – when autocorrection does a wrong correction (I type a lot in my native language Swiss German, where there is no standard spelling), I simply tap on the grey button in the smart bar, which undoes the correction and also improves the algorithm -Capitalizing word prediction – when I want to capitalize a prediction word, I simply swipe up on the word in the smart bar, which capitalizes it directly -Customizable shortcuts – I simply type “ilu” which automatically expands to “I love you 🥰” to express my love to my wife -Themes – when I feel blue, I switch to the rainbow theme to get up my spirits We are cooking up even more cool features, that will save you time and make your texting more productive. We’d love to hear your feedback so far, so please share your thoughts with us! Cheers, David

Great product! I've been using it for 2-3 years now and it keeps improving my typing. It's about time that we have some innovation on the classic keyboards. Keep up the good work.

Excellent keyboard, need some time to adapt but once you did you can't switch to any other keyboards!

This keyboard started in 2015 on Kickstarter, meaning it had 5 years to mature. It brings a lot of novel ideas and I love the focus on privacy, but the prediction/autocorrect capabilities are still non-existent. And that's English, can't imagine how poor it would be in other languages. What makes keyboard productive is not a couple of nifty features like swipe to delete, but the overall speed of accurate writing. SwiftKey might have way less intuitive controls, but I can make 20x more typos compared to TypeWise and still produce the final text faster and more accurately. That is the only thing that matters. I hope this project keeps improving, but at this point, I can't recommend it. I still vote for it and I sincerely hope it one day becomes better than SwiftKey and Gboard. Premium pricing feels more than fair, I would argue it is even cheap. However, missing a dark theme in default package seems tone-deaf in 2020.

It's very weird to me that 99% of all people still use a layout that had its origin in the age and physical design of typewriters🤯 Since I am a clear keybord-layout optimization enthusiast you guys have my biggest support. I've switched from QWERTZ to ADNW and never looked back a year ago and now this. Wow. I'll definetly share it with the ADNW community at groups.google.com/g/adnw/ 🙏🏼 But I also have two questions: - What exactly means: 80% less errors, and 33% faster and how did you arrive at those numbers i.e. what was the setup of those tests? Those numbers seem unrealistic high to me. - Also, after what practicing time or words your test subjects reached this improvement?

Best keyboard I've ever used, developers are super responsive and caring about the community!

That honeycomb ui is looking amazing! Will try

If it ain't broke don't fix it is great advice... if you don't want to make a difference in the world. I never imagined we needed a new keyboard! Rock on Typewise!

It's always a hassle to change people's habits, specially when it comes to type on a keyboard. However, it looks like a very nice product. I just downloaded it and subscribed to the free trial. Let's see how it goes now. I'd maybe suggest to extend it to 14 days if it takes approx 7 days to get use to the keyboard? @davideberle

Love the Ui! Will try

But I still cannot change the keyboard layout on my macbook...

Thanks for your product! Looks really useful

Love this! Thanks for sharing and continuing to evolve the product.

Sounds like an interesting idea!

Great keyboard! Love all the gestures. Once you get used to it you won't go back.

Little difficult to get used to, but once you do there is no going back.

Great product! There is a bit of a learning curve (~1 wk), but well worth the time investment.

This is good.

Amazing product! Got PRO immediately. But how do I pay for lifetime?

Congrats, guys! I made HEROkeyboard.com awhile back, trying to save the same problem, so I always enjoy seeing the innovation. It's a tough market for sure, but it sounds like you have a good team in place. Good luck!
