Sponsored App Review: ai.type Keyboard

Description: One of the biggest advantages of using Android is that we have more choice. We can better customize our devices and more important, choose key aspects of our devices such as our keyboards. ai.type is another third-party keyboard for Android that aims to be faster, more accurate and more customizable than other keyboards available for the Android platform. With lots of themes and endless customization options available, side by side with a top-notch ‘next word prediction’ capabilities, it seems that ai.type keyboard is one of the better keyboards available at the market. Take a look at the video below and read on to see what we think about ai.type:

How it Works: To start typing faster with a.i.type, you need to download the keyboard from the Play Store. When you launch the app from the app drawer, you’ll be taught how to properly enable the keyboard using a friendly installation wizard.

For those that have tried a different keyboard on their device before, this setup will be familiar. A very important step is choosing your desired theme of course.

Once you’ve done setting up the ai.type keyboard, you may use it by opening any app that uses a keyboard. It will work just like the original keyboard that was pre-installed on your device, only better.

You may change pretty much anything you want in ai.type’s look & feel with lot’s of settings available for users to tweak.

You can even change the size of the keyboard whenever you like.

For those that love Emoji, the Emoji plugin brings all the emoticons you could ever ask for.

Throughout my testing, I found the auto-correct and word suggestions features to be accurate and of genuine use. However, if for whatever reason you think these need some tweaking, you can do so in the settings menu.

Opinion: For a long time, I’ve always said that the stock Android keyboard is the best, I certainly prefer it to SwiftKey but, ai.type has perhaps changed my mind. I don’t like how the app feels like it’s designed for Gingerbread, rather than KitKat, but there’s more I like than I dislike. The keyboard’s speed for instance, is something that I particularly like and the ability to make it bigger or smaller whenever I like is a real advantage. So too is the ability to change pretty much any setting I like, allowing me to create a perfect typing experience to how I type on my phone. It works well on my tablet as well, but I do far more typing on my Nexus 5 and while I’d appreciate a KitKat theme out of the box, the Urban themes included will appeal to most users. With a lot of feedback options throughout, ai.type is a keyboard that most users will be able to get used to very fast.
