There are two major keyboard apps you can use on your iPhone: Grammarly Keyboard and Swiftkey. Both offer sophisticated grammar review and real-time writing suggestions to improve your typing.
Grammarly and Swiftkey are available for both Android and iOS. The Grammarly app supports iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches running iOS 11 or later.
What’s the difference?
Grammarly Keyboard is a typing app that automatically corrects and improves anything you type on your phone. It looks for mistakes in spelling, punctuation and grammar and provides a quick explanation of each correction.
The keyboard can be customized to fit your device and use a variety of colors, backgrounds and gradients to create your own theme. You can also adjust button positions and the number row.
The app supports seven adjustable keyboard heights (Short, Normal, Mid-short, Short, Mid-tall, Tall and Extra-tall). This is handy for writing long documents or emails as you can easily adjust the height of each key to accommodate a different font size.
Grammarly’s autocorrect feature
Grammarly’s autocorrect feature works well for both long and short-form content. It is not a substitute for human proofreading, but it can be a helpful tool when writing.
The free version of the app will check spelling, grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure, while its premium version will also look for passive voice use, wordiness, plagiarism, and other grammatical errors. It also helps improve your vocabulary and word choice.
It is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. It can be integrated with Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Google Docs, among other apps.
The Grammarly editor is a great way to check your grammar and punctuation, and to improve your writing style. It also includes a personal assistant that will point out mistakes and suggest possible corrections.
Swiftkey’s emoji support
If you’re a fan of emoji, Swiftkey has a new feature to offer that puts them right within the keyboard app. You can now swipe on the smiley symbol to access emoji characters, or use a predictive emoji tool that learns which ones you’re using most often and suggests them while typing.
The iOS app also has a “frequently used” and “popular” screen that surfaces the trendiest emoticons based on Swiftkey’s data. It’s a handy way to find what you want fast, even when you’re on the go or not using your phone.
However, the company has also made it clear that the emoji suggestions you get will be based on your own usage patterns and not on their underlying social stereotypes. That’s important, because, as we pointed out back in March, emoji can reinforce or counter existing social prejudices.
Which one is better?
If you’re a writer, you know how much time and effort it takes to write a piece of text that looks clear and perfectly worded. It can be frustrating when a grammatical error goes unnoticed in the process, but it’s possible to make your writing look more polished and professional with the help of Grammarly Keyboard.
Grammarly is one of the most popular Android keyboard apps out there, and it’s a good choice for any Android user looking to improve their grammar skills. Its major advantage is that it checks for grammatical errors as you type, and suggests corrections as you go along.
Using Grammarly’s artificial intelligence, the keyboard also suggests better phrases and words to use. It will also notify you if you misspelled a word and points out where you should add a comma, period or apostrophe. It also offers a handbook of tips and fixes that will help you improve your writing.
