Features Plera Keyboard

We designed it from scratch.
Our purpose is clear.
With ease and precision your words will appear.
Look at your fingers, now look at the screen.
Those tiny keys, well, arent they obscene?
Plera, though, is specially devised.
With fewer keys: smarter, properly sized.
Try it, why not?
You will be surprised.Why Plera is DifferentEach letter is typed with a short swipe.
Common sequences can be typed by chaining multiple swipes together.
For example: ing, the, and, and many others.
The result?
Most words can be typed really fast!IMPORTANT:β€” Plera is different: Compared to most other keyboards, Plera has a radically different design.
If youre looking for just another Qwerty keyboard, you should look elsewhere.β€” Language support: Suitable for English only at this point.
We are working on support for other languages.Featuresβ€” Scientifically designed layout.

What Our Users Say

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.

"A great alternative keyboard, though it obviously takes some practice to get used to. One thing I'd like to see added is more control over the shift key. Namely, I'd like if it worked similarly to the shift keys in more traditional keyboards like gboard, for example, where holding shift works as one would expect, single pressing toggles shift for one character, and double pressing acts as a caps lock. All in all, a great project that I hope continues to improve, and a program that I recommend."

Shaun Bohnert

"no support for other languages than English. Also it is not possible to type the word "should" as h simply does not appear in any of the squares after touching s. Help link leads nowhere."

Michael Berg

"Quite interesting. I like some aspects better than messagease."

Danny Challis

"As a long-time MessagEase user, I love trying out strange mobile keyboards. I am intruigued by the concept of this board. I like being able to type multiply letters in one gesture. The only thing holding this back from being a proper MessagEase competitor is the layout. It's very poorly optimised. E should not be tucked away on an edge key with barely used letters connecting to it. Please refine the layout, or allow users to design their own."

Edmund Osborne

"Dev doesn't care about this app. the website doesn't even work and the learning curve is unnecessarily steep. don't waste your time."

Stephanie Chan

"I really liked the idea of typing more than one character with just one motion. Unfortunately, this keyboard is not suitable for languages other than English. If the developers want help to create a version for Portuguese, I'd be glad to help (I have experience with shorthand writing in my language)."

A Google user

"It's ok but messagease makes more sense to use & invest into since its available for other platforms like Windows 10 & iOS as well."

Veeraragavan N

"There's a learning curve, but I'm enjoying it so far. The dev's site seems to be down; I hope this app sees more development. I think it can grow."

Josh Newman

"Absolute mess to use...."

Jeremy Pilot

"I have been using your app for a few days now. I would appreciate if it had a word-correction and prediction. You claim that it doesn't need that. But you cant enter into competition without that. I think the words can be arranged differently instead of making a P when you write plera. I am slow with this keyboard but for some reason I havnt been able to let go of this keyboard so far. something about the layout or the straight line it forms when I type, the small typing area,something is addictive in in this keyboard. Or may be I just like the challenge. You have made the (default)look of the keyboard is good. I like this but am I wasting time with this? Is auto-correct and prediction coming? And the shift key can be put to more use."
