To call it a barebones keyboard app with the power of Grammarly would be over-selling it. That said, even though Grammarly does help often, this keyboard app can be rather disappointing if you’re expecting… anything, really. You can also turn on/off vibration, sound, popup and the voice input key. Language Preference lets you select between British and American English. So it does offer some typing customization such as the ability to turn on or off double space for a period, auto-capitalization and auto-correction. Its aim is not to improve your typing experience. First, let’s talk about what it does have. The Grammarly Keyboard is relatively straightforward and solely dedicated to improving your grammar, and spelling. There are a few things you should know before you go ahead and install it though. You have to be on your toes when typing to make sure you don’t make mistakes. It’s even worse if you’re a grammar nazi and are quick to point out typos and errors in everyone else’s typing. People are more prone to typing errors and it’s exactly why most of the typing is for texting, even for professionals. But typing on your phone is not exactly of a professional level. Given that most of the typing is happening on mobile phones these days it was only a logical move by the company.

Grammarly has existed as a browser plugin for most popular web browsers and also as an online platform where you can type your article or whatever if you don’t use the browser plugins. The online service has now been made available as a keyboard app for Android and iOS. It checks your typing as you go and checks for typos and grammatical mistakes and makes you feel miserable about your English like your third grade English teacher. It can be a bit annoying and set in its ways at times but that’s okay. If you’re not aware, Grammarly is an online text and grammar correction tool that makes a life for people like me a bit easier. Grammarly has taken things a step further by integrating its grammar and writer’s voice correction technologies into a new keyboard. In retrospect, they’re not as satisfactory if you have Auto-correct turned on. Most keyboard apps on Android are fairly satisfactory when it comes to predicting words and showing correct spellings.
