Stylish and precise texting - Adaptxt

Nitin Sreedhar
All of us encounter the auto-correct problem while sending or replying to a text - for those who really want to see what I mean visit Damnyouautocorrect.com - and it can get really mashed up at times, especially if you have a habit of typing peculiar words in your preferred language.

Adaptxt 3.0 (beta) is the perfect antidote for the autocorrect problem. Developed by KeyPoint Techologies, Adaptxt claims to provide more accurate suggestions than other third-party keyboard apps. The new version of the application adds 14 languages and five dictionaries.

Another interesting feature is the Theme and Layout option for your keyboard. Adaptxt's language database is impressive. You can install everything from the usual English (UK) to the much-needed Hinglish language option. Something that also caught our eye was the inclusion of specialised languages, for instance, from various fields - Business, Cricket, Financial, IT+Telecom and so on. So, if you talk a lot on any such topics, wouldn't it be great to have an app that predicts even jargons correctly?
 
While the more common languages and dictionaries are available for free, you will have to fork out $0.99 for a specialised language. The 3.0 beta version also introduces location-based text suggestions. The app detects your current location and suggests relevant street names and nearby landmarks, making your conversation more precise.
