Google creates its own smart keyboard for Android phones
It seems that the people of Google want to make the rest of the terminals known Android the advantages of its own range known as Nexus And that is, if you have already opened the season with applications such as Google Calendar, which a few months ago could only be installed on terminals with pure Android, withoutcustomization layers manufacturing companies, now presents its own keyboard, the one that only users of devicescould use NexusIt is called Google Keyboard (Google Keyboard in Spanish) and it is already available for download in several countries for the rest of terminals Android Of course, for now Spain is not one of them
This is a very complete keyboard that offers different functions for users who prefer to type letter by letter, those who are always in a hurry and slide their finger to form words like Swype and, of course, those who don't even type and prefer to use the Google voice recognition fordictate messages, emails and all the texts they need. All this through a set of very comfortable buttons that, of course, fully respect the design and style lines of the latest versions of the operating systemAndroid
Just install the application and access the keyboard menu by pressing long press on any text box to be able to choose between the default keyboard of the terminal and Google Keyboard With this it is now possible to write on it using the word prediction just by typing a couple of letters, the commented one sliding system, or by pressing the microphone button to dictate All this in a fluid way and with a good system of autocorrection, thus avoiding any misspelling and errors Issues that are not surprising given the huge variety of keyboards currently available in Google Play.
And it may seem that the movement of Google is a bit late, even more so when other systems like Swype are already extended to the point of being used as the default keyboard for some brands of handsets, if applicable that they no longer have their own keyboard.Also note that Google Keyboard is not yet extended to all languages and also not available in all countriesBut they affirm that in the coming weeks these issues will change, reaching more usersprogressively
However, as can be seen from the words on their Google+ page, where they have confirmed this launch, the fact of offering their own keyboard is a decision of the philosophy of Android, to accommodate the terminal to the taste of the user. They even reference other popular keyboards available like SwiftKey and TouchPal, which are alsofree
In short, a question that will allow the user of Android devices to choose the keyboard that best suits their needs, either by features, vocabulary, operation , etc.For now in Spain we will have to wait to be able to download Google Keyboard, which is already available in some countries for totally free through Google Play For now it has 26 language dictionaries , so it is to be hoped that your arrival in our country will not take too long. Of course, it is necessary to have a terminal updated to Android 4.0 onwards
