Introduction
Microsoft is upping its game by integrating cutting-edge AI functionalities into its popular SwiftKey mobile keyboard app for both iOS and Android platforms. This third-party keyboard is not just about replacing your phone's default keyboard anymore; it's about enhancing your typing experience with AI-driven features like camera lenses, stickers, an editor, and more.
AI-Powered Camera Lenses
One of the standout features is the AI-powered camera lenses. In collaboration with Snapchat's parent company, Snap, Microsoft has introduced over 250 tools and filters. These lenses allow you to create photos, videos, and GIFs with a variety of effects, offering a new dimension to your digital expression.
Create Your Own AI Stickers
SwiftKey now comes with AI-generated stickers, thanks to Bing's Image Creator. This feature enables you to create personalized stickers using your own photos or selfies. These stickers can be shared across various messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Messenger, adding a fun element to your conversations.
In-App Bing Image Creator
The Bing Image Creator is now directly accessible from the SwiftKey keyboard. You can either take a new photo or upload an existing one to get Visual Search results from Bing without leaving the app.
AI-Driven Editor for Better Writing
The app has also introduced an AI-powered "Editor" that aims to improve your writing by correcting grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. To use this feature, simply highlight a sentence, and the editor will provide instant feedback and suggestions.
Continuous Upgrades
Microsoft has been consistently working on enhancing SwiftKey. Earlier this year, the app was integrated with Bing, allowing users to search directly from the keyboard, engage with Bing Chat, and even customize the tone of their text using AI.
What's Next?
The new features are currently being rolled out to SwiftKey users on both iOS and Android platforms.
