What is Gboard?

Gboard: Google Keyboard – this utility combines three of the most popular Google services: search, translator and the actual keyboard. Input methods: voice, keyboard, continuous – gestures on the screen.

Emoticons – emoticons or stickers: Gboard displays emoticons as a hint for descriptive words that the user enters on the keyboard.

Gboard supports Gif-images – these are animated photos that users exchange with each other in order to make communication more informative.

Multilingual input: Gboard supports 120 languages. The keyboard automatically selects the language in which the user writes. This means you no longer need to switch between languages ​​manually – Gboard will do it for you.

Google translator: right in the text input window, the keyboard translates the text into the language selected by the user.

Google search: The search service is available to the user in the keyboard toolbar. This means that you don’t have to close your keyboard to activate the search function – do it right in your keyboard.

Gboard – how does it work? – some features:

  • Long press on the ENTER key brings up the emoticons panel.
  • The keyboard automatically generates a user dictionary – these are specific words in the user’s lexicon.

The keyboard displays words from the user’s personal dictionary as a hint. To delete words from the user’s dictionary, long press on the selected word.

  • The user’s personal dictionary is synchronized across multiple user smart devices that have Gboard installed.
  • Swipe to the left on the “delete” key deletes several words at once.
  • The keyboard interface can be styled in one of the stylized themes. You can choose from: nature, space, high technology, cars, minimalism in the style of tiled (material) Windows design, 3D and others.
