Tools v2.0.82
AltKeys - AI keyboard adds AI writing, translation, OCR text extraction, web search, and voice typing to your Android keyboard. Includes file drive and contact sharing. Note storage permissions, Android 8.0+, and download from trusted sources.
AltKeys - AI keyboard packs text generation, translation, web search, image text extraction, and voice typing into one Android keyboard. It's built for users who live in messaging apps and need quick drafts, replies, or translations without hopping between tools. The real selling point is how many small utilities sit right on the typing surface.
One of the most practical tools is the image text extraction. When you're typing in any chat, snap a photo of a document or sign, and the keyboard reads the letters and inserts them into the input field. In my testing, the translator handles Spanish and Hindi drafts smoothly. It won't replace a dedicated OCR scanner for heavy document work, but it's fine for quick copy-paste moments.
There's also a file drive for storing documents, images, and videos, plus quick contact sharing that drops a phone number into a chat with one tap. The built-in browser search handles factual questions mid-conversation, so you don't need to leave the chat. Multilingual typing autocorrects across enabled languages, which cuts down on manual language switching. A deals section surfaces discount links, though you can't confirm the savings source inside the app.
The feature load creates a crowded keyboard. If you're only typing in English and want a plain layout, the extra buttons, deals icons, and content tabs add visual noise. I found the resize tool useful on a tablet during long typing sessions. Still, on a standard phone screen, the default density can feel cramped until you adjust the settings.
Before installing, check the permissions screen carefully. A keyboard with translator, file drive, and deals shortcuts asks for storage and network access, so it's worth understanding what you're allowing. Version 2.4.1, released in early 2024, won't run on anything older than Android 8.0 and sits around 58 MB. Downloading AltKeys - AI keyboard from a trusted source matters, since fake APKs often bundle spyware.
Can AltKeys - AI keyboard be used with WhatsApp and other messaging apps?
Yes, it works as a system keyboard, so any app that accepts text input will show it. You'll need to switch the active keyboard in Android settings first.
Does an AI keyboard need an internet connection for every feature?
No. Basic typing, themes, resize, and emoji search work offline. AI writing, translation, and web search need a data connection and won't load without it.
How do you extract text from a photo with this keyboard?
Tap the text extraction icon, take a picture or choose one from storage, then confirm when the extracted text appears in the input area. You'll want to retake the photo if the capture quality is poor.
