Gboard - the Google Keyboard

Gboard, the Google Keyboard, brings you an enhanced typing experience with a range of features designed to make communication easier and more enjoyable. From Glide Typing to Voice Typing, and support for multiple languages, Gboard is packed with tools to suit every user's needs.

Glide Typing allows you to type faster and more efficiently by simply sliding your finger from one letter to another. Say goodbye to tapping and hello to smooth, continuous typing.

Voice Typing makes it easy to dictate text on the go, ensuring you can keep your hands free while still staying connected.
