SwiftKey's new keyboard corrects whole phrases

SwiftKey Clarity Beta

SwiftKey has a new Android keyboard that will autocorrect entire phrases. Named Clarity Keyboard Beta, it aims to constantly scan the last few words typed in order to offer better corrections than rival apps. Like other SwiftKey keyboards, it'll also learn from your typing style, picking up on your most-used words and phrases.

As its name suggests, Clarity is still a work in progress. We gave it a quick test and weren't particularly wowed by its corrections, although most of the company's keyboards have gotten better with age. Despite SwiftKey launching on iOS last year, this beta is Android only for now. There are already some reported problems, such as compatibility issues with certain Samsung and LG devices, but SwiftKey is looking for feedback on the work in progress. It's available as a free download from Google Play, so you haven't got much to lose by giving it a spin.
