Today, the company "Yandex" has presented its keyboard for iPhone and iPad. Novelty boasts integration with popular services companies, so you can quickly translate text into other languages, insert SIFCO, share location and do many other of things.
At the first start-up keyboard acquaints us with all the possibilities, playing training in the form of an impromptu chat. As you can see, visually "Yandex. Keyboard "is very similar to the standard, but it is rather a plus. Some differences in the interface is still there.
The keyboard has three screens, switch between them easily swipe. In the center is a Russian keyboard layout, the right - the English, and the left - a separate numeric keypad. Familiar globe icon switches English and Russian keyboard layout, but who needs it when there are gestures?
Further, it catches the eye socket predictive dialing, which immediately begins to guess the word, making it easier to enter. There is an interesting feature: after entering a phrase and pressing the keyboard space bar will offer Emoji suitable for the context. By the way, here, too, the gap is not easy. With it, you can move the cursor through the text, tap if you make a deduction. Almost like in the iPhone 6s.
Even the basic functionality of the keyboard "Yandex" favorably distinguishes it from the competition. But it has more and more may be hiding behind the button with three dots. Here we have almost Matryoshka: the screen includes more advanced features five tabs, including Emoji panel gifok directory risovalka sketches geolocation panel and translator. Each of them deserves attention, so we consider them separately.
With Emoji clear. This is the familiar panel with emoticons, are divided into categories, as well as quick access to last used. Differences here are two: Emoji are located not in the heap, and preview is displayed enlarged smiley, rather than the usual.
Pictures from the second tab immediately allow you to quickly insert SIFCO suitable subjects. If you want something specific - a search. Looking for simple pictures, animations and demotivators. Everything, of course, through the company's service "Yandex. Pictures". After selecting a photo is copied to the clipboard, from where it can be inserted into almost any application (iMessage, Telegram, and so on).
Next is a drawing tool. Everything is no frills: you can select the line color, to cancel or clear the canvas. In principle, this is enough to make a sketch and quickly insert it into the correspondence.
Map panel allows access to popular venues and allows you to share your location as well as in iMessage. There is also a regular search on the map, you can find anywhere. The buffer is copied reference to "Yandex. Card "with the name of the object, which can be inserted anywhere.
And last but not least, its usefulness - tab interpreter. It allows you to almost instantly convert typed text to any of the foreign languages. Text input, switch to the interpreter panel, and voila - Russian converted into English or any other.
The main intrigue is how well it works in practice. I will not torment you: it works very well. The keyboard appears when an instant, then with barely discernible delay that causes discomfort.
Due to useful features, like built-in panel Emoji and the presence of the English language with fast switching, the "Yandex. Keyboard "has every chance to become the only keyboard on your iPhone. Why, given the advanced features like geotagging, an interpreter and trackpad mode, no standard keyboard, nor any of the parties simply have no chance.
