Type on your computer with the keyboard you already know
Type or swipe on your phone the way you always do — autocorrect and all — and the words appear on your computer. With the shortcut keys your phone doesn’t have.
No new keyboard to learn. Remotype uses the one already on your phone, so swipe typing, autocorrect and your languages all just work — and it adds the keys a phone keyboard is missing.
What you can do
Your own phone keyboard
Swipe or tap exactly as you normally do.
Shortcut keys
