One of the features that I really like about Android is the ability to install feature rich third-party keyboard like SwiftKey, Swype etc.
At the D11 conference in June, when Apple’s CEO Tim Cook said that the company plans to open up a “lot more” on the API front in the future, I was hoping that Apple would introduce APIs for the keyboard in iOS 7, so developers could launch third-party keyboards in the App Store.
Unfortunately, as you all know that didn’t happen. This has forced developers to release standalone keyboard apps such as Hipjot, and SDKs such as Fleksy that could be used by other third-party developers to use the custom keyboards in their apps.
evleaks, who has an immaculate record when it comes to Android related leaks has just posted a photo, which indicates that SwiftKey is planning to release a Note taking app called SwiftKey Note for iOS devices. Swift is an extremely popular keyboard app for Android based smartphones and tablets that learns from you to offer better auto-corrections and next-word predictions.
We can expect SwiftKey Note to offer similar functionality. I also won’t be surprised if they release an SDK so that third-party developers can incorporate the award-winning SwiftKey keyboard in their apps.
