[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]BlackBerry has rolled out an update to their BlackBerry Keyboard for Android app, currently only officially available for the BlackBerry Priv.
The updated app brings an improved prediction engine, which now processes a user’s email and social messages to better understand the user’s typing style and provide a better out-of-box experience.
The BlackBerry keyboard is probably the best virtual keyboard that exists on Android and on the Priv, it also brings improvements to the physical keyboard.
The BlackBerry Keyboard includes a number of components that work together to deliver an optimal user input experience:
- A reinvented physical keyboard that optimizes accuracy, ergonomic comfort and precise control.
- A market disrupting touch sensitive keyboard to help you get things done fast.
- A complementary set of on-screen virtual keyboards for touch interaction and fast access to the most critical text elements
- An intelligent input engine that allows the keyboard to learn and remember words you type often and then offer them as next-word suggestions.
- A set of software capabilities that allows shortcuts to user-defined words and phrases, and more…
Key Features:
- Quick and easy creation of text with the renowned BlackBerry Keyboard, featuring auto correction, next word prediction and a Personal Dictionary.
- More efficiency through learning and personalization. The keyboard gets more accurate over time as it learns your style and word selection.
- Text Selection and Fine Cursor Control make it easy to format your work properly and give it a polished and professional appearance.
- Settings that put you in control of your keyboard experience
