Kannada is coming to Keygram

Type Kannada in English letters,
without the fights.

Kanglish is Kannada written in English letters, the way you already text. Keygram is a private iPhone keyboard that learns the way you type and keeps your words in English letters. Kannada support is on the way — join the waitlist and we’ll tell you the moment it lands.

The everyday annoyance

You write a real Kannada word. Your keyboard “corrects” it into a wrong English one.

Stock keyboards were never built for Kanglish. So they fight you, one wrong autocorrect at a time. Keygram learns your words instead.

How Keygram helps

A Kanglish keyboard that learns you, on your phone — coming soon

Every Kannada word you type builds a private vocabulary on your iPhone, alongside the English you mix in. New words earn their place; words you keep correcting away fade out. Predictions, learning and autocorrect all run on-device, so nothing you type ever leaves your phone. There is no language switch button to hunt for, so a sentence that mixes Kannada and English just works.

FAQ

Kannada keyboard, answered

Does Keygram support Kannada in English letters?

Yes. Keygram handles Kannada typed in English letters — yenu, maadi, hege. Stock keyboards turn yenu into menu; Keygram keeps it as yenu because it learns your words on your iPhone and corrects against your own vocabulary first.

Does Keygram type in English letters or in Hindi script?

Keygram keeps your words in English letters. You type Hinglish, Thanglish, or any Indian language the way you already do — kya, yenu, enna — and it stays that way. Unlike transliteration keyboards, it never converts your typing into Devanagari or native script. Your Romanized words stay Romanized.

Will Keygram stop autocorrect from changing my Hinglish words?

Yes. Keygram corrects against your own vocabulary first, so genuine typos get fixed while your real words are left alone. “Yenu” stays “yenu”, not “menu”. “Tussi” stays “tussi”, not “tissue”. The more you type, the better it gets at telling your words from mistakes.

Is Keygram private? Does my typing leave my phone?

Nothing you type leaves your iPhone. Predictions, learning, and autocorrect all run on-device. Keygram sends no typing data to any server, builds no ad profile, and keeps no “anonymized” copy. Your vocabulary is yours to back up, export, or delete at any time.

Which Indian languages does Keygram support?

Keygram works with Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bangla, Marathi, Punjabi, Gujarati, and Malayalam — all typed in English letters — plus the English you mix in. There is no language list to manage. It simply learns whichever words and languages you actually type.

How is Keygram different from Gboard or the iOS keyboard?

Gboard and the iOS keyboard predict from a generic dictionary and often “correct” your Romanized words into English. Keygram learns your personal vocabulary on-device and ranks your words first. It is built for code-switching, so you type Hindi and English in one sentence without switching keyboards.

Do I need to switch languages to type Hindi and English together?

No. Keygram is built for code-switching, so a sentence like “kal office mein meeting hai” works with no language toggle. It predicts across your languages at once. There is no globe button to hunt for and no mode to set before you start typing.

Is Keygram free, and when does it launch?

Keygram launches on July 1, 2026 and is free at launch. Join the waitlist with your email and you will get one message when your spot is ready. There is no spam and no payment required to get in line.
