SwiftKey Android app becomes language-friendly

SwiftKey now has new adaptive layouts for nine Indian languages to its predictive keyboard app for Android. SwiftKey is an input method for Android and iOS devices such as smartphones and tablets. SwiftKey uses a combination of artificial intelligence technologies that enable it to predict the next word the user intends to type.

SwiftKey learns from previous SMS messages and output predictions based on currently input text and what it has learned.  According to thenextweb.com, the latest update helps speakers of Bengali, Punjabi, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Assamese, Oriya, Konkani and Manipuri to type in their native languages.

Also to support for the new languages, the update also brings emoji prediction for Bengali, Punjabi, Kannada, Telugu, Assamese, Oriya, Sinhala and Urdu. The company has already added adaptive layouts for Hindi, Tamil, Gujarati and Marathi, with a new interface and a new theme.
