Type
Type is an Android keyboard that runs a language model entirely on the device to correct typos and predict the next word. It uses a small neural network trained on 50 million words to suggest completions and ranks them based on the preceding words. The keyboard includes adaptive keys that fade letters that cannot continue a word, and it can offer whole-word completions when only a few words are possible. It also learns the user's phrasing on-device with a personal layer that can be toggled and erased. The app is free for personal and noncommercial use under the PolyForm Noncommercial License, with commercial use requiring a separate license.
Type is an Android keyboard. InnovaAI scores it 3.3/10 for agency resale.
Agency Audit
Type is a niche, privacy-focused keyboard that offers on-device AI correction and prediction. It is open-source and free for noncommercial use, making it suitable for developers and privacy advocates. However, it lacks agency-specific features and integrations, limiting its appeal for most agencies.

Platform Features
Core capabilities of Type
On-device typo correction
UniqueCorrects typos using a language model running locally, with no data leaving the device.
Adaptive key visibility
UniqueFades letters that cannot continue a word, making typing faster.
Personal learning layer
UniqueLearns user phrasing on-device with a toggle and forget button.
Whole-word completions
UniqueOffers whole words as keys when only a few are possible.
Next-word prediction
Predicts the next word after each space using a small neural network.
What Makes Type Different
Unique advantages vs similar tools in this niche
On-device processing ensures complete privacy
vs Cloud-based keyboards that send data to serversThe model runs inside the keyboard process through llama.cpp, and the only network use is downloading the model file.
Correction accuracy is verified against a dictionary and edit distance
vs Keyboards that blindly apply model outputModel output is checked against edit distance and a 56k-word dictionary before it may touch your text.
Adaptive keys that fade impossible letters
vs Static keyboards that show all keysLetters that cannot continue a word shrink and fade, while hit areas never change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about setup, alternatives, implementation
Type's most distinctive features include: On-device typo correction (Corrects typos using a language model running locally, with no data leaving the device.); Adaptive key visibility (Fades letters that cannot continue a word, making typing faster.); Personal learning layer (Learns user phrasing on-device with a toggle and forget button.). These capabilities differentiate Type from alternatives and create unique value for agency clients.
Type's key advantage over Cloud-based keyboards that send data to servers: On-device processing ensures complete privacy. The model runs inside the keyboard process through llama.cpp, and the only network use is downloading the model file. Overall: Type is a niche, privacy-focused keyboard that offers on-device AI correction and prediction. It is open-source and free for noncommercial use, making it suitable for developers and privacy advocates. However, it lacks agency-specific features and integrations, limiting its appeal for most agencies.
Type is a strong fit if: You need a privacy-first keyboard for a client app; You are building a custom Android keyboard and want a reference implementation; You have clients who require on-device text processing. Consider alternatives if: You need a keyboard with cloud-based features or multi-language support; You are looking for a tool with agency management or white-label capabilities; You need a product with commercial licensing flexibility. Key trade-off: The main trade-off is that it is a single-purpose keyboard with no agency management or integration capabilities, so agencies would need to build their own solutions around it.
Initial setup takes approximately 8 hours with InnovaAI Academy SOPs. Most agencies can have their first client-ready configuration within 1-2 business days. The learning curve is manageable with structured onboarding materials.
