Mistyping Correction new!
  • Don't worry about your typo! TouchPal will correct mistakes for you! In fact, you don't need to look at the keyboard when you're typing. Just "feel" the keyboard and type approximately with your two thumbs.
  • Even each letter is incorrect, there's still much chance that TouchPal will guess it right. For example, you want to type "look" but unfortunately hit "niil"; you'll still get "look" as the first candidate. (Fig.5)
  • Single-key layout enables mistyping correction by default. To enable this feature in the two-key layout, select "enhanced mistyping correction" in the option view (Fig.6).
