- Learns phrases you repeat and offers them back after two words.
- Writing styles you can switch per app, and 16 languages for suggestions and the app itself.
- Insights on time and keystrokes saved.
Switching takes two minutes
Download TypeBlink, follow the setup assistant, and pick a model; your keys stay familiar (Tab for the next word, ` for the rest, Esc to dismiss). Quit Typeahead first so only one app suggests at a time.
