Gboard - the Google Keyboard

Keyboard for everyday Android typing

Gboard - the Google Keyboard is a mobile keyboard for writing messages, searches, notes and other text on Android. It suits users who want more than tap-by-tap typing, with swipe input, voice dictation, handwriting support and tools for working across multiple languages.

Typing tools

• Glide Typing: slide your finger across the letters to form words without lifting it.
• Voice typing: dictate text when speaking is easier than using the keyboard.
• Handwriting: write printed or cursive characters where supported.
• Emoji and GIF search: look up reactions directly from the keyboard instead of switching apps.
• Cursor control: move through text by sliding across the space bar, and remove multiple words with a gesture from the delete key.

Language and translation support

Gboard can work with enabled languages at the same time, helping with suggestions and autocorrection without requiring constant manual switching. It supports a wide range of languages and regional varieties, including English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Russian and many others. Google Translate is also available from the keyboard for translating as you type.
