Gboard - the Google Keyboard

Gboard - the Google Keyboard is an Android keyboard application for entering text on compatible devices. It is listed in the System Tools category because it provides core keyboard functions used across Android. The product is intended for Android users who want a keyboard with speed, reliability, and several alternative input methods.

Glide Typing lets users enter words by sliding a finger from letter to letter. Voice typing supports dictation while text is being entered, and Handwriting supports both cursive and printed letters. Emoji Search helps users find emojis, while GIF search supports finding and sharing GIFs from the keyboard. Multilingual typing can provide autocorrection and suggestions from enabled languages without requiring manual language switching. Google Translate is also available directly while typing in the keyboard.

Gboard supports hundreds of language varieties, including languages such as English, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and many others. The listed Handwriting, Emoji Search, and GIF features are not supported on Android Go devices. Wear OS support provides keyboard functions on watches, including Glide Typing, Voice Typing, emoji typing, and supported languages.

For distribution, MirrorNest links straight to the official release instead of mirroring the software. The catalog identifies the license as demo trial, so that licensing information is part of the product listing. Android users can use MirrorNest as a catalog route to the official release while reviewing the product’s platform, category, and distribution details.

Free to use — a paid version with additional features is also available.
