Gboard

Gboard focuses on speed, reliability, and easy typing on phones and watches. It offers multiple input options for different situations, accurate correction, and tools that make everyday messaging simple. It supports a wide range of languages and scripts for bilingual and multilingual users. The Search button inside the keyboard now centers on in‑keyboard utilities such as finding emoji and GIFs on Android, since web results were removed.

Features

Glide Typing

Gboard lets you slide your finger from letter to letter to form words. This reduces taps and helps you write messages quickly. It also pairs with smart corrections to keep sentences clear.

Voice typing

You can dictate messages directly from the keyboard by tapping the microphone. This is useful when your hands are busy or when long texts feel slower to type. Gboard converts speech to text with clear punctuation options.

Handwriting input

Gboard supports writing in cursive or printed letters in the keyboard area. This suits notes, names, and non Latin scripts where handwriting feels more natural. It also works well when you prefer a pen or stylus.

Multilingual typing

Gboard suggests and autocorrects across your enabled languages without manual switching. You can add multiple languages and keep one keyboard layout. This saves time for bilingual chats and mixed-language messages.

Emoji and GIF search

It includes fast search to find emojis and GIFs by keyword. On Android, the Search button focuses on in keyboard tools such as emoji, stickers, and GIFs. Web results inside Gboard were removed, so you can expect search to stay within the keyboard.

Translate as you type

Gboard can translate your text inside the keyboard before you send it. You type in your language and choose a target language to see the translation. This helps you reply in chats without switching apps.

Gboard on Wear OS

Gboard is also available on Wear OS for quick replies from your watch. You can swipe with Glide Typing, use voice input, and send emojis without reaching for your phone. This makes short responses and on-the-go chats straightforward.

Languages supported by Gboard

Gboard covers hundreds of language varieties and writing systems, including complex scripts. You can enable multiple languages and set preferred layouts to match your needs. For details, see the official help center for Gboard's language list on the support site.
