14 DAY TRIAL // As we told you only a few hours ago, Microsoft started a closed beta program for the iOS port of Word Flow keyboard, as the company wants to bring its top Windows Phone keyboard on iPhones too.
While for the moment the program still takes place with a limited number of testers, a video showing the app in action has gotten leaked to also reveal some of the exclusive features that the Word Flow keyboard is getting on iOS.
Basically, Word Flow will bring on iOS the same super accurate swipe word prediction engine, but in addition to this, it’ll also get support for keyboard themes, plus an arc-shaped layout that makes typing with one hand extremely easy. This should really come in handy on the iPhone 6/6s Plus, where typing with a hand is quite a challenge.
The video also shows some of the settings that will be offered within the app, and these include auto-correction, contact prediction, and new word learning. Users will be allowed to delete any learned words and start from scratch should they want it.
Of course, in order to predict contacts, Word Flow keyboard would need access to contacts on your iPhone. An option to send Microsoft keyboard usage data is also provided.
There are no details as to when this app could hit the store for all users, but it’s believed that the debut could take place in the summer, most likely in June.
