Gboard: Did you know that most words in the vocabulary of an educated English speaker are borrowed from Greek? Hundreds of scientific, medical and mechanical terms have their roots in Greek. Examples are: Physics, photography, microscope, telephone, biology, zoology - and these words are part of almost all European languages.
Today, we present to all Greek users who use the Greek keyboard and also to the enthusiasts of the Greek language, the support of Greeklish on Gboard, a keyboard of Google for your device. Gboard gives you everything you've come to expect from a great keyboard – GIFs, emojis and Glide Typing (drawing the word without lifting your finger) – with Google Search built in.
The Greek alphabet, consisting of 24 letterda, it's one of the most exciting alphabets, at least for me :) I remember about 15 years ago, the only option I had for texting was to use the Latin keyboard (abc-…), as it was difficult to enter characters in GREEK
(a B C-…). As a result, Greek keyboard users, like me, have become accustomed to typing Greek words on a Latin keyboard - a way of writing known as "Greeklish".
You can try it by following these steps:
1. First, select the "Greek (abc -> Greek)" keyboard from the Gboard menu on your Android device.
2. Open one application which allows you to type and then tap once or long press the icon to select the “Greek (abc -> Greek)” keyboard.
3. Once the model comes down, you'll be ready to start using the new keyboard! You can type in either Glide (by drawing the word without lifting your finger).
Tap

We believe this new keyboard will help users continue to write in the Greek language, keeping our culture and language in the digital world.
Gbox for Android is renewed at regular intervals with support for new languages and tools, as we work to achieve our vision of creating smart mechanisms for faster inputtreatment text, auto-completion and word prediction on mobile devices - in whatever language you choose.
