Today I'm launching @TryYaps on Android - a voice-first keyboard I've been rebuilding from the ground up!
Ships with everything you'd expect from a modern keyboard - swipe typing, smart suggestions, autocorrect, emoji, GIFs, multi-language, light/dark themes, the whole familiar toolkit. If you're coming from Gboard, nothing to relearn.
But the reason it exists is one shortcut away. Dictation that's genuinely 4Γ faster than typing.
It also comes with some robust note taking features. A reading mode that narrates any text aloud. It also cleans up rambling drafts into something send-ready. Every one of those running on-device - no cloud, no listening, no account needed to get started.
I kept wondering why no one had just built voice INTO the keyboard itself. The answer is simple, it's tough to do well π .
Either way I built it, and will keep improving it. Feels a bit unreal to be shipping a full-stack keyboard as one person but it was fun and a necessary first step for a much broader suite of tools.
If you've ever want to just yap the thing instead of typing it out - link in the comments.

Itβs happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. https://t.co/OVVPJO7VQx
