Since the last award, we’ve grown rapidly to over 1.6 million downloads following continuous improvements and recognition from the world’s tech media. Building on the success of the keyboard, we have exciting new developments which include the launch of a brand-new product – Typewise Desktop – powered by the same core text-prediction engine which will enable enterprise and individuals to ‘fast-forward" their writing and compose higher quality emails, messages, and documents. We also will be launching v4.0 of our keyboard which will feature further significant enhancements.
