Swaytype AI Translate Keyboard
Type in yours, send in theirs
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Type in your language. Send it in theirs.
Swaytype is a keyboard for iPhone that translates while you type, in any app. Write in your own language, tap Translate, pick theirs, and your message is ready to send. Any direction, any language. No copy and paste, no switching apps.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Open any chat and type with the Swaytype keyboard, the way you talk.
2. Tap Translate and pick their language.
3. Check it and send. Changed your mind? Tap Undo and your text comes back.
NATURAL, NOT WORD FOR WORD
Swaytype uses AI to translate what you mean, the way people really text in that language. Type with slang and typos: it reads what you meant, and slang comes out as real slang, not a dictionary translation. Casual stays casual. Formal stays formal.
READ THEIR REPLY IN YOURS
Got a message in another language? Copy it and the keyboard translates it into your language with one tap, right above the keys. Nothing gets pasted into your chat.
FIX IT IN ONE TAP: CASUAL OR PRO
Tap Improve to fix typos and grammar, in any language. Casual keeps your slang and your voice. Pro makes it clear and polite, for clients and work.
WORKS IN ANY APP
Your chats, texts and email, anywhere you type. Keep up to 3 favorite languages one tap away.
READY IN A MINUTE
The app walks you through it: add Swaytype in iPhone Settings and turn on Allow Full Access. Full Access lets the keyboard use the internet to translate. iOS shows the same warning for every keyboard.
FREE TO START

more No enough language like the Greek
Developer Response Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and sorry that Greek wasn't available when you tried us! Good news: we've just added Greek, along with more than 100 other languages. Just update to the latest version and you'll find it in the language settings. We'd love for you to give it another try and let us know what you think! 🇬🇷
