Offline suggestions and next-word prediction
Completions and next-word predictions come from a large Amharic dictionary on your phone, with no connection required. Tap inside an earlier word to fix it from the suggestions.

Swipe typing
Glide across the letters to write whole Amharic or English words. Typing stays fast on budget phones too, and the letter popup can be turned on or off.

Learns your words
Words you type often move up in suggestions, and you can add your own words and shortcuts. Your personal dictionary stays on your phone, and you can remove any word or clear it all. Nothing is learned in password fields.

AI quick edits
A bar above the keys offers Fix grammar, Casual, Humanize, Professional, Formal, Friendly, Shorten and Summarize. Tap one and the text in your field is rewritten, in Amharic or English; tap undo to get your own words back. It is free with a daily allowance, asks you to sign in once with Google or an email code, and is off in password fields. Reorder the edits or hide the bar in Settings › AI actions.

English layout included
A standard QWERTY English keyboard is built in, so you can switch between Amharic and English with a single tap.
