AI based keyboard application for predicting texts

Overview

SwiftKey is a keyboard application that uses artificial intelligence for predicting the next word the user intends to type. Some of the features include GIFs, stickers and emoji to express oneself, a central toolbar with quick shortcuts, swipe-to-type or touch-to-type functionality, spell checker and auto text with A.I, support of over 300 languages, among others. The company claims that the application learns from previous SMS messages and outputs predictions based on the inputted text and what it has learned. It is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. The company won multiple awards including Sunday Times Hiscox Tech Track 100 2014, Meffy Award for life tools 2014, Appsters Champion and Best Consumer App 2013, to name a few. In February 2016, it was acquired by Microsoft for approximately $250 million and as of 2018, it operates as the latter's fully-owned subsidiary.
