HB Blog 147: Explore 50+ Keyboard Applications On Google Play.

People are now expecting variety in all things even in Android apps. Then Why not in keyboard.
Yes, there are more than 50+ keyboard applications on Google Play. You may have never thought to change the keyboard on your Android device. Why would you? The one that came with your phone is almost certainly usable and inoffensive. But it may not be the best keyboard for you.

There’s a whole world of keyboards out there, and your default Google/Samsung/HTC keyboard is nowhere near the most useful, most productive, or the prettiest. The keyboard you choose will depend on what you’re using it for: Are you looking for a keyboard with more keys and options? A simpler more elegant keyboard with fewer keys? All the keys aligned in a straight line at the bottom of your screen? The options are almost limitless.

Once you have a keyboard enabled, you can use it whenever you’re typing in a text box. Your default keyboard will always come up first, but you can quickly switch between keyboards by opening your notification bar menu.

That means autocorrect and predictive text that actually works because it adapts to you. SwiftKey Keyboard caters for all typing tastes - all colors, designs and themes. Support for 150+ languages. Tapping or swipe-to-type. Tons of emoji (smileys, emoticons).
2) Gboard - the Google Keyboard: - Gboard has everything you love about Google Keyboard-speed and reliability, Glide Typing, voice typing, and more—plus Google Search built in.
