Earlier today,Microsoft release a statement about the successful purchase of the Swift keyboard that is popular on the Android and Ios systems.In a blog post, Microsoft’s executive vice president of technology and research Harry Shum said:
We’ll continue to develop SwiftKey’s market-leading keyboard apps for Android and iOS as well as explore scenarios for the integration of the core technology across the breadth of our product and services portfolio. Moreover, SwiftKey’s predictive technology aligns with Microsoft’s investments and ambition to develop intelligent systems that can work more on the user’s behalf and under their control.
In the coming months, we’ll have more to share about how we’ll integrate SwiftKey technology with our Guinness World Record Word Flow technology for Windows.
Microsoft purchased SwiftKey for around $250 million.
The reason for the deal is apparently SwiftKey’s Artificial Intelligence software, which makes SwiftKey so good at predictive text.
