Nuance Communications has announced that its Swype keyboard app for iOS
is now available in more than 20 languages; supports intuitive emoji
input, and features new keyboard layouts.
The Swype Keyboard app version 1.1 for
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is now available to download from the App Store.
The Swype keyboard app update for iOS devices running iOS 8 and higher
also brings access to all available Swype themes for iPad users.
The
16 new languages added include Czech, Danish, Dutch, UK English,
Finnish, Greek, Hinglish, Hungarian, Irish, Norwegian, Polish,
Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Swedish, and Turkish. Earlier, the app
supported English, French, Italian, German and Spanish languages.
The
third-party keyboard maker claims that with the new update, Swype will
predict emojis based on the words users enter, and supports six
languages - English (UK and US), French, Italian, German and Spanish.
Lastly, the update also brings new keyboard layouts including QWERTY,
QWERTZ and AZERTY keyboard layouts for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users
running iOS 8.
The company has also released a keyboard layout
designed for the iPad. Swype's App Store listing lists two more
additions in the updated app including options added for the sound on
key press (though it requires full access) and auto-space.
Commenting
on the announcement, Aaron Sheedy, Vice President of Mobile Solutions,
Mobile Division, Nuance said, "The response to Swype for iOS 8 has been amazing, and we're
thrilled to have quickly updated the app with 16 additional languages -
the most currently available for any third-party keyboard for iOS 8.
People love the speed and ease of quickly Swyping from one letter to the
next - and it's incredibly cool to see the words and phrases you are
about to Swype automatically appear as you go - almost at the same time
you're thinking them."
The Swype iOS app was released in June soon
after Apple announced support for third-party keyboards on iOS 8.
