Install and prepare the iPhone keyboard

1. Install the public beta through TestFlight. iOS 26 or later is required.
2. Open the app and sign in. On the Typvo page in system settings, open Keyboards, add the keyboard and enable Allow Full Access.
3. Start a keyboard voice session in the app, then switch to the Typvo keyboard in WhatsApp, Telegram or another chat app.
4. Tap the microphone to speak. The session ends after being idle for a while; return to the app to start it again. You can choose the idle timeout in Typvo settings.

Why Allow Full Access?

It lets the keyboard communicate with the main app for voice and translation, read copied text when you tap Translate, and open Compose. The main app processes voice and translation; the keyboard itself does not connect to the network. This does not mean Typvo automatically reads the whole conversation.

Without Full Access, the Typvo keyboard can still type letters, numbers and symbols (not Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian or Arabic), and its top bar shows where to turn it on. Speaking, using Translate on copied text and jumping to Compose need Full Access.
