Swiss German is not a clearly defined language. There are many different ways of writing a certain word. Current predictive keyboards do not consider languages that have flexible writing styles. This is where we come in. Our app quickly adapts to your style of writing and keeps you from having to type out every word you want to write.
This app is based on the Google Open Source Keyboard. It preserves the robust functionality and visual appeal of the popular app that has been developed and tested over a number of years. Our extension work focuses on allowing you to improve your user experience by keeping your individual writing style.
Our app is optimized for compatibility with Swiss German input. However, it still performs well with commonly typed languages like English, German, Italian, French and others.
This app is being developed at the Disco research group of the ETH Zurich as the product of a master thesis.

In order to improve the app and thus your user experience, we do extensive logging of everything you type. We collect the following information from your phone/tablet:
