Microsoft SwiftKey AI Keyboard 4+

Long-time user, but…

I have been using SwiftKey for several years, and it has always been my favorite keyboard for its intuitive text recognition and ability to handle multiple languages. Unfortunately, it recently stopped properly supporting the Czech language, even though it is still listed in the language options and I have it selected. The keyboard suddenly stopped offering Czech words and auto-completion in Czech is no longer working, which is very frustrating as I use Czech daily.

Additionally, as some other users have mentioned, the letters “ě” and “ů” are missing from the pop-up menu. Unfortunately, for me, simply switching the keyboard back and forth does not resolve the issue; the problem persists, making the app difficult to use.

I hope these bugs will be fixed as soon as possible because SwiftKey has always been a great tool for multilingual typing, but these issues are causing a lot of inconvenience.

Odpověď vývojáře ,

Hello Mitakoch! We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Our developers have resolved the issue with the Czech language pack. To update, please navigate to "Languages" in the SwiftKey app, remove the existing Czech language pack, and download it again. This should rectify the problem. We appreciate your patience!

Great, but not perfect

For sure this keyboard is superior to anything else on iOS if you want to swipe. It has some very complex features like web search and AI image generation that distracts it from being a keyboard.

I have the following feature requests:
- allow to use 3 languages. I use CZ EN RU keyboards on a daily basis. The fact that it is automatically detects language between EN and CZ is great. RU keyboard on the other hand switches layout to Cyrillic. I just don't see where the technical limitation to use 3 keyboards comes from, especially if they use different layouts.
- copilot Tone feature is what I use ChatGPT most of the time. It is too deep in the menus for the value it brings. It would be awesome at least to allow changing order of tabs on the copilot view, especially when most tabs are just shortcuts to separate copilot app.

Fantastic, but...

I've used SwiftKey from the very beginning since I switched from Windows Phone (with its great swipe keyboard) to an iOS device - so for 5 years now. I can say that swipe typing is very good on mobile phone and I love that it can recognize two languages with only one keyboard so you don't have to switch it. Once it learns your patterns of swiping, you don't even have to look at the screen and you automatically know that SwiftKey has your back if you misspell something.

I am typing mostly in Czech and switch to English whenever I need and SwiftKey does the job with ease.

It does lag sometimes and currently it has a bug that sometimes you cannot type letters "ě" and "ů", because they are not available in the pop-up menu. But this can be fixed quickly by switching to other keyboard and back to SwiftKey and these letter appear once again.

One last thing I find annoying is the spacebar navigation through text. SwiftKey does not do it as Apple does. It moves the cursor rather letter by letter instead of freely in the text, which can be annoying and not so precise.
