Support
How the keyboard is used, step by step and in motion, is in the guide: the AI key, your API key, modes of your own, the models and the typing settings, and in a two-minute video at the top of it.

Getting started
Where do I get Typesmith?
On Google Play, for Android phones and tablets. There is no iPhone version.
How do I turn Typesmith on?
Open the Typesmith app; it walks you through the two steps: enable it under Android's keyboard settings, then choose it as your current keyboard. Android will warn you that a keyboard can see what you type — every third-party keyboard gets that warning. What Typesmith does with it is in the privacy policy.
How do I switch languages?
Add keyboards in Typesmith → Settings → Languages. Then tap the globe key, or hold the space bar, to switch between them.
Why does a language say “No dictionary yet”?
The app carries dictionaries for English, Spanish and Portuguese. The other languages have full keyboards but no word list on your phone yet, so they have no suggestions or autocorrect from a dictionary — they learn the words you type instead, and suggest those. Dictionaries for more languages are coming as downloads.
It suggested a word I never want to see again.
Settings → Learned words: remove it there. Words learned in one language show in every language, so a Roman-Urdu word can turn up while you type English; remove it or ignore it.
Can I move my settings and learned words to a new phone?
Yes, in two ways. If Backup is on in your phone's settings, Android carries your Typesmith settings to a new phone signed in to the same Google account, and your learned words too when that backup is end-to-end encrypted with your screen lock. Or save a file yourself: Settings → Backup & restore → Export to a file, then restore it on the new phone from the same screen. Give the file a passphrase and it can't be read without it, by anyone; a file saved without one can be read by whoever has it.
The AI features
How do I use my own API key?
Settings → AI, then under Plan tap Your own key. Paste a key from OpenAI or DeepSeek. The provider bills you for what you use, usually cents a month for a keyboard; text goes straight from your phone to them. You can pick the model, for every mode or per mode.
What are credits?
Typesmith AI pays for the AI with credits. A new install starts with some; a rewrite uses one and an Ask AI reply two. The count shows on the keyboard's AI panel. Settings → AI shows the balance, what an ad adds and how many ads still count today. Credits don't keep for ever: an ad's last seven days, the starting ones thirty. The app says which expire next, and a rewrite always spends the soonest-expiring first.
How do I get more credits?
Open Typesmith → Settings → AI and tap Watch an ad. A short ad adds ten credits, good for seven days; up to five ads a day count, and the balance tops out at a hundred. Ads only ever appear there, in the app: the keyboard itself never shows one.
I watched an ad but the credits didn't arrive.
The ad network tells our server in its own time, usually within seconds, sometimes a minute. Tap Refresh under the balance. An ad closed before the end adds nothing. If the credits are still missing after a few minutes, tell us roughly when you watched it.
“This phone couldn't be verified with Google Play.”
Typesmith AI opens its account only for the genuine app from Google Play on a phone that passes Android's integrity checks. A copy installed from somewhere else, or a rooted or modified phone, is refused. Install Typesmith from Google Play; your own API key works everywhere regardless.
Which model does Typesmith AI use?
One we choose, to keep replies quick and the credits affordable; we may change it. If you want to pick the model yourself, use your own key.
The AI key doesn't appear in some apps.
It's hidden where it makes no sense: password fields, name and address fields, search boxes that filter a list, and fields an app marks private. Everywhere else it's there.
Subscriptions
A subscription to Typesmith AI, with no ads, is planned but not on sale yet. These answers are for when it is.
“Today's allowance is used up.”
On a subscription, Typesmith AI has a daily fair-use allowance, generous for typing but not unlimited. It comes back at midnight UTC. If you hit it in ordinary use, tell us — that's what it's sized against.
How do I cancel?
In the Play Store app: your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Typesmith AI → Cancel. The current period runs to its end. Uninstalling the app doesn't cancel a subscription.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds go through Google Play under its refund policy; you can ask there within 48 hours of a charge. For anything beyond that, write to us with your order number.
I subscribed but the app says I haven't.
Make sure you're signed into the Play Store with the Google account that bought it, then open Typesmith → Settings → AI and, under Typesmith AI, tap Restore. If it still doesn't work, send us the order number from your Play receipt.
Privacy
Does Typesmith read my passwords?
In a password field it suggests nothing, learns nothing and keeps nothing. Nothing you type in any field is sent to us or to an AI unless you use an AI feature on it.
Will I see ads while typing?
No, never. The only ad in Typesmith is the one you ask for in Settings → AI to earn credits. Nothing is shown on the keyboard, and nothing about your typing goes to an ad network.
How do I delete everything?
Delete your data spells it out: uninstalling removes everything on the phone; write to us for your install's account or the subscription records on our server.
