Gboard - the Google Keyboard

A keyboard for everyday typing

Gboard - the Google Keyboard replaces your phone’s standard keyboard with a typing tool built for messages, searches, notes and other text fields. It suits people who want more than tap-by-tap typing, especially if you move between languages, dictate messages or often need symbols, emoji and GIFs without leaving the keyboard.

Several ways to enter text

Glide Typing lets you trace across letters instead of tapping each one. Voice typing turns spoken words into text, while handwriting input supports both printed and cursive writing. You can also search for emoji and GIFs from the keyboard, making it easier to add a quick reaction without opening another app.

Useful for multilingual users

Gboard supports a wide range of languages and language varieties. With multiple languages enabled, it can provide suggestions and autocorrection without requiring constant manual switching. Its built-in Google Translate feature can translate as you type, which is useful for short conversations or composing text in another language.

• Slide across the space bar to move the cursor.

A widely used Google tool

Made by Google LLC, Gboard has a 4.5 rating from more than 18 million reviews and lists 10,000,000,000+ installs. That scale makes it a familiar choice for Android users who want a keyboard with typing, voice, language and content-search features gathered in one place.
