Answers use saved listing facts and recorded sources.

What it does

Gboard is Google's keyboard with glide typing, voice entry, handwriting, multilingual suggestions and translation while typing.

Gboard offers tap, glide, voice and handwriting entry on Android. Enable the languages you need before using multilingual suggestions; the listing says suggestions and autocorrection can draw from those enabled languages without switching manually. Handwriting is a separate input choice, while emoji and GIF search insert other kinds of content. Those extras have a device boundary: the official listing excludes handwriting, emoji search and GIF search on Android Go.

Strengths

Several text-entry modes
Suggestions across enabled languages

Watch out for

Limits: AI review of saved source passages. No hands-on test, human approval or automatic-provider checker receipt.
