Typewise was started in Switzerland with the vision is to enable a digital world that genuinely respects user privacy. Our mission is to build the most secure and intelligent human-machine interface by developing text prediction technology using artificial intelligence (AI) that is private-by-design.
We envision Typewise's technology to power every human-machine interaction across mobile, desktop, wearable, and brain-computer interfaces. Our purpose is to deliver productivity through intelligence that safeguards user privacy.
Our first product, Typewise Keyboard, is the next-generation keyboard designed specifically for two-thumb typing on smartphones. The idea behind Typewise Keyboard originated after realizing that our current keyboard was designed for typewriters in the 19th century and is not fit for the mobile age. Yet, it is the most central interface of the smartphone. We use it 76 times every day across all kinds of apps.
Typewise Keyboard reduces typos by 4X through our patented honeycomb layout, enables typing in multiple languages simultaneously, and features autocorrection and text completion that truly understands the user. Most importantly, it doesn't transmit any typing data to the cloud but performs its AI magic fully offline. Our growing user base enables us to continuously improve and demonstrate the scalability of our text prediction technology.
In our quest to deliver advanced and private text predictions, we are supported by ETH Zurich and Innosuisse, Switzerland's innovation agency. We’re currently working on bringing our private AI technology to applications beyond the keyboard.
