Hey PH guys, I’m David and together with @janis_berneker we are the co-founders of Typewise. Our vision is to make it simple and natural to interact with our beloved gadgets. The keyboard is the most used interface, but it hasn’t really changed since it was designed for the typewriter over 140 years ago. While this is fine for ten-finger typing, for us it simply doesn’t work well on a small touch screen. That’s why we designed a keyboard specifically for smartphones, with larger keys that are easy to hit, and swipe gestures that make use of the possibilities of touch screens. What’s the result? Mainly a lot less (approx. 80%) annoying typos (read more about this on Medium, including results from a large-scale scientific study: https://uxdesign.cc/why-we-strug...). A few things we think are cool (and are not on the screenshots): - When you modify an autocorrection, Typewise learns from that - Typewise looks at where exactly you hit the keys, and optimizes in the background - No need to switch between your selected languages - Long press on space to move the cursor - You can pretty much customize anything - We have an awesome community that is very welcoming to new joiners 🤗 Right now we’re in public beta and by registering I’ll add you on TestFlight / Google Play asap! We’d love to get your feedback and happy to answer any questions 🙏 Cheers, David

I've been using beta versions of this product for more than 6 months now and saw it getting better and better. Very dedicated and responsive developer crew🥰. It does take some initial training but is worth every minute of it!

Great Keyboard, type more precisely and with less typos, much faster! I'm using it since some years (former WRIO) and it's still getting better.

@markus_blaser_banz nice to hear from our long-standing users, it gives us a lot of motivation to see how we're not just a one-day fad but really have an impact on people's productivity in the long run :)

Nice keyboard! I've been looking for an alternative keyboard for quite some time, and I'm going to have fun trying it out this week.

@thatwhichendureth awesome to hear & happy to answer any questions you might have!

just subscribed but haven't tried it yet. It would be a lot better if I can get the download instructions right after I subscribe instead of waiting for 24 hrs. Anyway, I'm hyped and can't wait to give it a try!

@ciyao_ I'll add you right away - we're trying to be as fast as possible, but sometimes (very rarely though) we need to sleep a little bit :-) Once it's in the app stores this nuisance will go away ^^
Mark Beare
The link you have here goes to TestFlight. Is that by design?
David Eberle
Maker
@mark_beare yes, it's public beta so right now goes through TestFlight... :-)
Suvam Sibasish
Loved the concept, especially the swipe features. I just have once concern, my colleagues or friends might need to look something up on my phone at times. It becomes a hassle to change the keyboard to default one for them immediately. If you could add an option where the keyboard switches to standard layout to allow a friend to use it, it would be great.
David Eberle
Maker
@suvam_sibasish absolutely! there is a "learning mode" that can be switched on and brings the keyboard back to its Qwerty layout (while retaining all other cool features). But aren't the surprised faces fun to look at...? :-)

Tested for accessibility? Tested with age 50+ 70+ users?

@phil_wolff1 my dad who is 70+ is using it, and appreciates the larger keys and option to increase the font size of the keys, probably the two major issues arising with age (eyesight and motor precision) 👋

@saucey_seana_quental how come? I've been using it for quite some time on the iPhone 7. What problem are you facing? Here to help :)

Hi @davideberle When will it be available on the AppStore?

@jinesh_d we don't have a release date yet but the Beta is its final stretch :)
Jose Mejia
he recibido la versión beta, que seguridad hay de que la información sensible que escribimos (contraseñas por ejemplo) sigue siendo privada
David Eberle

@jose_mejia2 Hola José, todo tu información queda en tu teléfono, nada sera transmitido sobre internet. Typewise has no internet connection at all and do not require "full access". Saludos, David
Jose Mejia
Ok, gracias, jose

I’ve only just started using the keyboard. I have arthritis in my hands which makes using a touchscreen keyboard difficult sometimes. The unique layout and larger keys is already made a big difference. My input skills have improved a lot.
