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 as well as Greek language enthusiasts, the support of Greeklish in 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, which consists of 24 letters, is one of the most fascinating alphabets, at least for me :) I remember that about 15 years ago, the only choice that I had in texting was to use the Latin keyboard (abc-…), as it was difficult to enter Greek characters
(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 in Android your device.
2. Open an application that allows you to type and then press or hold the icon once to select the "Greek (abc -> Greek)" keyboard.
3. Once the model is downloaded, you'll be ready to go usesthe new keyboard! You can type normally or with Glide (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 intelligent engines for faster text input, auto-completion and word prediction on devices mobile phones - in whatever language you choose.
