Learn English as you type Chinese. Keysake is a free macOS input method that shows English alongside your Chinese. Save words, phrases, or full sentences from what you want to say. Japanese, Korean, and more languages are coming soon.

Does it learn from a users workflow and adapt or is the experience mostly configured manually?
Congrats @rick_fan. It looks interesting. Routing for you today!

@hamza_afzal_butt Thank you, Hamza, at this stage it's still mostly manual configuration, but that's already on the roadmap.
Interesting that you started with macOS. Are you planning to bring it to Windows too?
Keysake
@ethan_blake27 We’ll keep that in mind! Our iOS version is coming soon, and we’ll consider Android and Windows versions after that.

@ethan_blake27 Sure, other platforms will be released soon.
Does it work smoothly when switching between Chinese input and normal English typing?
Keysake
@fletcher_graham We’re continually improving the experience to make it feel easier and more natural to use.

@fletcher_graham Thank you, Fletcher, it doesn't change the regular input method switching.
The keyboard part is actually pretty neat. Does it work well when you're just typing quickly?

@aria_taylor Because it uses Apple's on-device translation model, it responds very fast — no problem even when you're typing quickly
Keysake
@aria_taylor Yes, it feels smooth. We use Apple’s built-in translation, so it responds faster. And it won’t get in the way of typing in your own language.
I like the idea of learning from stuff you'd actually say. Feels more useful than going through a bunch of random vocab.

@dylan_friddle12 Thank you, Dylan, It is indeed very useful for those who want to learn a language.
Keysake
@dylan_friddle12 Thanks, glad you like it! Yes, we want to help more people really learn how to express themselves in another language. We’ll be adding support for more languages too.
The idea is simple, but putting it directly into typing workflows is what make it interesting to me. Curious to see what you add next.
