Gboard

Gboard is a virtual keyboard app developed by Google for Android and iOS devices. It was first released on iOS in May 2016, followed by a release on Android in December 2016, debuting as a major update to the already-established Google Keyboard app on Android.

Gboard features Google Search, including web results and predictive answers, easy searching and sharing of GIF and emojicontent, a predictive typing engine suggesting the next word depending on context, and multilingual language support. Updates to the keyboard have enabled additional functionality, including GIF suggestions, options for a dark color theme or adding a personal image as the keyboard background, support for voice dictation, next-phrase prediction, and hand-drawn emoji recognition. At the time of its launch on iOS, the keyboard only offered support for the English language, with more languages being gradually added in the following months, whereas on Android, the keyboard supported more than 100 languages at the time of release.

Gboard has everything you love about Google Keyboard—speed and reliability, Glide Typing, voice typing, and more—plus Google Search built in. No more app switching; just search and share, right from your keyboard.

Glide Typing — Type faster by sliding your finger from letter to letter

Voice typing — Easily dictate text on the go

Speech recognition is one of the most powerful aspects of many Google products, particularly in the Google app where Voice Search relies on being able to understand what we’re saying. The same is true of Gboard, which is capable of typing up entire messages based on what you dictate to it. We may take it for granted somewhat these days, but it truly is a marvel. Now, this feature can now be enjoyed by many more around the globe as Google has added support for 30 further languages.

Google has vowed to make the internet more inclusive, and these efforts are just one part of that. The update adds ancient languages such as Georgian, with its 10th-century alphabet, and two of Africa’s most spoken languages, Swahili and Amharic. Also included are numerous Indian languages. Google has worked with native speakers to collect the voice samples necessary to train its machine learning models, which are now capable of processing the additional languages. You can see the full list of what’s new below.

In US English, it’s been possible to search for emoji in Gboard by text or drawing, and now Google is introducing the ability to search for them by voice. Saying “grinning face emoji” should bring up the emoji you’re looking for, or a range of similar ones if your query is a bit ambiguous. Don’t worry, this feature will also be coming to other languages in the near future, just in case any of you are dying to use it.
