The previous year, Microsoft announced it would discontinue support for SwiftKey on iPhone. After only a few weeks, it retracted its statement. It urged consumers to “stay tuned” until new functionality was available. The business has finally delivered its promise by releasing a new version of its predictive keyboard app. As may have been expected, it includes an integration of the ubiquitous Bing AI chatbot.
Search, Chat, and Tone are the three sub-features that makeup SwiftKey’s recently added integration with Bing. Users may now search the web without leaving the app and communicate with Bing to ask additional questions and inquiries, as suggested by the names of the app’s first two functionalities. According to Microsoft, the functionalities can be utilized in various situations, such as when conversing with a buddy and wanting to look something up in the middle of the conversation.
Tone, the third function, is the one with the most wit. By letting Bing function as an editor and rephrase material to meet a desired tone, it is intended to make it simpler for users to communicate more successfully, which is one of the goals of this feature.
Microsoft claims that the Tone feature “has got you covered, with tones to make your words sound more professional, casual, polite, or concise enough for a social post,” whether you are having trouble being formal in your work emails or are learning a new language and want help with the nuances of word choice.
Following installing the latest version of SwiftKey, users will see a Bing icon above the keyboard; touching this button activates those above three additional functions. Anybody can use the Search function, but in order to access Tone and Chat, users will need to sign into their Microsoft Accounts. To utilize the new Bing preview, your Microsoft Account must first be approved.
