Farsi Keyboard – کیبورد فارسی

“Farsi Keyboard – کیبورد فارسی” for Android is a privacy-focused typing solution that helps bilingual communicators easily switch between Persian and English scripts, whether you are messaging with family in Tehran or collaborating with colleagues in English.

What you will discover after installation

This keyboard surprised me with the amount of reference it packed for Persian speakers. The artificial intelligence technology learned by the autocorrection and prediction functions makes the keyboard adapt to your actual writing style, whether it is formal Farsi or local dialects and slangs that generic keyboards do not cover. You can tap individual letters to type, swipe your way through gesture typing, or simply speak your mind and let it be typed out in both languages.

The visual customization boasts over 10 Persian-inspired themes that feature authentic color gradients and designs that feel true to the culture. A number row features Farsi numbers and currency symbols without having to switch between layers which comes in handy when typing prices and dates quickly. The emoji library also has Persian-themed stickers and trending GIFs for conversations. That adds a flavour that lacks on keyboards. You are in a group chat to discuss plans, and you cannot stop your flow to address your friends in English and then give directions in Farsi. When you select a different language, it happens right away, so you can continue typing without any delay.

The balance between privacy and efficiency

This «fast lightweight keyboard» works completely offline so you can type anywhere without using up any of your mobile data or connecting to the Internet. But the real draw for security-conscious users? The app directly states that it will not collect any keystrokes. The app is positioned as a privacy-conscious alternative to an app type known for seizing keystroke patterns. Whether you’re on Telegram, WhatsApp, or Instagram, the keyboard works the same way for all of them with social app integration.

A light design allows for optimal performance on older Android 7.1+ powered devices. It is easy to set it up–no complicated configuration menus, no mandatory account setup.

Limitations Worth Considering

Users find tradeoffs compared to professional-grade options. The customization options are good enough for day to day use. However, they still don’t offer as much as other brands that offer more extensive font customization or advanced gestures. A report from the community shows that the accessibility features are still basic enough to cause frustration for (some) users that depend on assistive technology.

At present, the app is fully functional and does not contain any ads or in-app purchases. If you are a Persian speaker looking for an excellent keyboard capable of performing the functions of a Farsi typing app with good Persian font and Persian numeral support this keyboard ticks all the boxes without the bloat or privacy issues of similar keyboards. It is designed for people who speak every day and value cultural authenticity. It also provides data security, which is often more useful than bleeding-edge customisation.
