Standard keyboards are based on a century-old layout. They were never designed for typing with two thumbs. Typewise takes a different approach with larger keys and a familiar yet different layout that reduces errors by up to 80 percent. Intuitive gestures allow you to quickly capitalize letters and edit text, and Typewise’s intelligent autocorrect learns from what you type to provide accurate predictions. The app also includes multiple themes, the ability to create your own text replacements, support for multiple languages, and much more.

You want to become a more efficient typer.
