Once Grammarly is installed, you can open
that to switch input methods to go from your
default keyboard to grammarly by choosing
that option and they will immediately provide you
with, customization options for the theme and
look and feel where you can choose the either the
light or the dark mode. I will go with the dark
mode and then you can choose if you want to
have the number row at the top. It's pretty
useful. So have it enabled. And the key
borders - to show distinct keys here. So
activating that will show some borders around the
keys you can have that and hit on continue. In
the next screen, you can add more languages if you
want to have in addition to English. I don't see
any of Indian languages here, but if you want to
add any other languages, you can have some here.
And if you tap on these three dots, you can
choose different English dialects. I have chosen
English India, but if you want to choose a
different one, you can opt for that here and
then hit on save. That's about the language
settings and hit on continue and your
Grammarly keyboard is now ready to go. So in this
screen we will see these four sections and the
rest are all self-explanatory. And
among these four, we already saw about the
languages. Next, let's look into the theme
wherein you can add, in addition to light and
dark mode, you can add custom colors. As you can
see here. You can choose any of these colors or
tap to choose any other color you want to change
the keyboard's layout color and you can add any
photos from your device to add it as a
background. Or you can choose photos from
Unsplash, to keep it as your layout background.
Like this one. I'm going to go back to the dark
mode. And that's how we can change the keyboard
themes. Let's look into the settings within this
keyboard section where we already saw about the
number row and then the keyboard. And if you want
to show some extra symbols on keys, it's
pretty useful. You should have that enabled
because, I'll show you what it looks like. If
you go back to the theme, we can open that. You can
see here there are some small, tiny symbols
that's shown within these keys here. And if you
want to show, you have to enable that setting. If
not, you'll have to long press on it to see it
like this one. It's pretty useful. So keep it
activated. So keep this enabled. And if you want
to have a case sensitive layout, enable this one.
What this means is that if I am not enabling
this, you can see that whenever I'm typing a
sentence, and what do you see here is that the
capital letters will remain capital even after
you start typing. So it is not a case sensitive
layout. If you want to have that enabled, then
go back to this setting and make make sure this
is enabled. I believe this is enabled by
default so that whenever you type in, let us say -
so when you start typing the character, the
characters will automatically change and
adjust to what you're typing, like capital or
small letters. And in case you want to switch
languages, if you have multiple languages
installed, you can use it through the spacebar
itself. Next, if you have different keyboards
installed like how I do, then you can have this
setting enabled to have this long press to switch
different keyboards. And if you want to have a
cursor control to navigate between the
words, then you can choose cursor control,
but that's your option. Keyboard height will help
you set how tall you want the keyboard to show
within your mobile screen. So you can choose
that option here. And for the emoji skin tones, you
can choose what you want to be. The default skin
tone here. And under this key press options, you
can choose these options to have them vibrate on
key press or sound on key press. But I don't want
any sounds when I press the keys and then pop up.
Yes, I want to show the - I want to see the keys
when pressed which key I'm pressing. So that's
all about the keyboard options. And now finally,
let's get into this writing assistance, which
is the USP for Grammarly keyboard. So in here you
can see that there are some bunch of features
and let's see them quickly one by one. I
would suggest you enable these like how it's shown
now on the screen, but you can always choose
what you want to keep, but these are the best
ones which I found helpful while typing in
my testing. So for the first one, tone
detection. This shows, how our language is. Is
it friendly, is it curious, is it
informative? Is it, formal? So such kind of
tones are shown by looking at how, when it
studies what you have written. So keep that
enabled if you want that feature. And then
synonyms, if you deactivate this, this
also goes off. So if you want to keep this on to
see different meanings for the words you type,
keep this enabled. And predictive text depends
on what you write. So it suggests further words
what next word you want to type, so you can have
that on, if you want. And suggest emojis, you can
just type in "happy" or "sad", and then the
emojis will automatically show up on what emojis
you want to have. I wouldn't have this
contacts enabled because I rarely use that
feature, but if you want, you can have that so that
when you type in a name, then a contact will be
suggested from that list on the top. Under the
typing section, you can have these auto
corrections to correct the mistyped English
words, but this is done automatically. Some
people may not prefer to have this so you can have
it on or off based on your preference. And with
the auto correction for all languages - this, as
you can see, this is a beta setting. So it might
or may, it may or may not work well, but I'm going
to leave this off - Auto space after punctuation.
If you want to keep any space character after
punctuation marks, then you can have it enabled.
Next with the backspace to undo auto correction.
That's a good setting to have. You can hit
backspace to undo any auto corrected word so
that, you can keep the word that you have
written auto capitalization, which is
good. Let's keep it and, swipe to type. It's the
order of the day now, every keyboard offers
this setting, which is easier to type if you
know the spelling of a word. And of course, you
can always double tap the spacebar to add, period.
And finally, you can create your own personal
dictionaries, like, while you type, the Grammarly
keyboard offers to add your words, custom words
to dictionary. So this is the section where you can
come to see your added words.
