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.

Swipe typer here. So far seems better than Gboard for word suggestions. But it's got the same issue that every keyboard except Swype has. When you swipe the word it gives suggestions related to the shape you made, but if you move on from the word and then return the suggestions are given as if you had tap typed. Also if it suggests an acronym, when you go back to correct the word you get capitalised suggestions. Luckily it's easy to highlight a word and use shift to change case.

Mostly great. Just fix Chinese (Pinyin) input, it's very bad. I still found some vocabulary weren't shown, moreover the options was only in one short line which was totally inadequate. Maybe Yandex need to learn from the most famous keyboard in Android, its Pinyin support was great. Once more, mostly this is great keyboard indeed.

There's bug: Auto capitalization won't disabled when turned off and causing my writing to have way more typos, this was a problem before the last update. Switched to another keyboard for now until this is fixed. (This is a good keyboard, so I'd keep it on your wish lists until they fix this issue.) Remember a keyboard's main job is to type I don't want a bunch of unnecessary junk added to it like has been infecting every other keyboard as of late.
