KeyPoint Technologies Adaptxt to make entry on iOS as Apple opens up for 3rd party keyboards
It’s exciting to see the app landscape evolve as Apple opens its doors to third party keyboards with the announcement of iOS 8. Our team is thrilled by the opportunity to collaborate with Apple and to get our award-winning Adaptxt keyboard in the hands of iPhone and iPad users across the globe.
In keeping with the spirit of innovation across connected devices and the evolution of mobile communication, our CEO Sumit Goswami commented on the news, saying: “We applaud Apple on iOS 8 and its decision to open up to third parties for an enriched experience. We have been working for some time on an iOS keyboard app. We are excited that Apple’s iOS 8 will support keyboards like ours in the fall when it debuts. We have been putting a lot into development to fine tune our context-aware typing that identifies the location of the user and what application they are running to provide more accurate and contextual word predictions. We also plan to soon unveil specialized dictionaries for law, health, telecom and other professionals that give our next-word prediction even that much more accuracy. Ultimately, we are aiming for effortless communication for iOS users.”
We ramped up our iOS team and we’ll be sure to update our blog with timely and relevant details on the development of our new keyboard. For additional information on Adaptxt’s existing keyboards, visit the Adaptxt features page.

Adaptxt holiday theme dictionary and keyboard featured on ZDNet
Matt Miller at ZDNet reviewed our winter theme release dictionary and keyboard in a recent article.Matt wrote that he plans to show off his festive keyboard at get-togethers and holiday parties this weekend. But not only is the winter theme eye-catching, “Holiday words can also be turned on so that the Christmas dictionary words appear faster in the predictive engine. It is as simple as swiping across the space bar to switch between the dictionaries you has loaded as well.”
Since our background is in linguistic science as well as mobile application development, we decided that a holiday theme keyboard could not be released without an intelligent predictive dictionary to match. What would you like to see as our next seasonally-themed dictionary and keyboard? A Super Bowl theme in team colors with a football dictionary, or a Valentines’ Day red and white theme with a dictionary full of the sweetest sayings?
Happy Holidays from Adaptxt! Get in to the holiday spirit with a Yule-themed keyboard and dictionary
Hello! One of our New Year resolutions here at KeyPoint is to blog more and shares our opinions and perspectives on current mobile industry issues and innovations with you.
Before we dive deeper in to a serious discussion, let’s first enjoy the holiday season by sending thoughts and sharing memories with family and friends. By using a keyboard app that enables next word predictions using artificial intelligence, users can slow down how fast they type while composing notes and texts more quickly and end up being more productive with little effort. And just in time for the holiday season, Adaptxt has released a festive and intelligent keyboard app in a new holiday theme dictionary and colored keyboard.
Included in the Christmas dictionary are commonly used Yule-time-themed words and phrases. For example, if you type “merry,” Adaptxt will suggest the next word you want to input is “Christmas.” Texting your holiday greeting is now easy! The keyboard appearance has been changed to a traditional red and green, overlaid with images of snowflakes, wrapped gifts and more.
Adaptxt is available for free by updating Adaptxt to the latest version via Google Play and the Christmas dictionary is available for download from the Adaptxt Add-On Manager.
Happy Holidays!
