November 26th, 2018 Posted by Blog, Xploree

Autocorrect, next word prediction, themes, emojis. Well, almost all mobile keyboards around can do all of that. Where’s the innovation?

The keyboard is one of the most used mobile applications, is there one that can deliver a unique and exceptional user-experience?

A disruptive and more importantly a useful technology is one that helps solve a problem or make life better and easier for its users. Mobile users are different than those searching on the desktop. Immediacy of finding information, relevance of content and ease of making a quick decision are some expectations of a user using a smartphone.

Users are constantly interfacing with their mobile devices to share, socialize, consume and create content, avail services etc. Facebook and Whatsapp stand out as as the most popular apps based on user base. But the two other engageement touchpoints that see a high engagement –are Call and Keyboard. However, from the mechanical clicks to soft touch and touchscreens, the most widely used input device, the keyboard has not seen outstanding changes in the last few decades. Not many existing keyboards are recognizing the importance of the keyboard is an effective platform to build innovative consumer experiences.

 

The Evolution of Keyboards

It was not until 2007, with the launch of Apple iPhone that the touchscreen and the soft keyboard became the preferred text input methods on mobile phones and soon enough for many other mobile devices.

In the world of keyboards, users have a lot of choices. But the ones that will see more user love in the coming months and years will be the ones that have the capability to bring simplicity to content and service discoveries. Predictive and intent-based targeting mechanism to deliver relevant information to consumers on their mobile devices at that single point of intent is the game-changing disruption that is not present in most of existing keyboards available on Android or iOS. There’s still much to be seen in the new era of evolution of mobile keyboards.
