The SwiftKey keyboard currently supports more than 30 Indian languages, including different dialects, and covers all the 22 scheduled languages. In the last year, Singh reveals that SwiftKey's India user base has grown nearly 20 percent and India comprises more than 15 percent of SwiftKey's overall user base, without specifying the total number of users worldwide. "We believe that technology should adapt itself to human beings rather than human beings adapting themselves to technology, which is why technology should adapt to whichever language you're most comfortable in rather than you having to force yourself to learn English," Singh tells Gadgets 360 in a telephonic conversation. ![]() But what's made SwiftKey popular in India, the second-largest smartphone market in the world after China? Sarabjeet Singh, Director of Business Development, SwiftKey India, believes it is the consistent experience offered across all languages that's one of the major reasons for the app's popularity in India. Now, nearly 9 years after its debut, SwiftKey brings support for more than 300 languages worldwide.
