Octopus Keyboard is a tweak that I talked about a few months ago when I told you that its main function is to ease the procedure of typing sentences using the iOS keyboard. The tweak is made after the keyboard available in BlackBerry 10 terminals and practically the tweak implements in iOS a prediction system that "guesses" the words that we are going to type using the virtual keyboard of iOS. The words of the prediction system are displayed above the letters of the virtual keyboard, and their introduction is done using a simple upward swipe.
Octopus Keyboard is a keyboard tweak that predicts what you are about to type and shows the suggestions above individual keys. Simply swipe up on a key and the whole world is inserted into the text! If your typing is not super-fast, Octopus will speed it up considerably! It is also a great accessibility tweak, saving you precious keystrokes.
Features:
- Integrates smoothly to standard iOS keyboard
- Supports all major languages (except Japanese, Korean and Chinese)
- Next word prediction
- Proximity suggestions
- Learns new words as you type them / learns from Messages and Contact apps
- Installable dictionaries
- There is no demo included yet – this version will not work until a license is downloaded.
- iOS autocorrection will be disabled after installing this tweak (we are working on making it compatible).
- Options configurable via Preferences.
- Language packages with dictionaries available for free.
Octopus Keyboard has a dictionary that constantly learns what we write to make the best suggestions for the words to be entered and the interesting part is that the tweak should work with more languages available in iOS. A few days ago I told you that the tweak arrived in a certain Cydia repo, but it is now also available in the BigBoss repo. Of course, the tweak is not free, it works for a few days based on a trial license, and then you have to purchase a full license for $4.99.
Together with the full version of the tweak, dictionaries for the keyboard also appeared in Cydia, so you have a choice of everything that interests you.
