Today, we are officially open-sourcing our mobile keyboard testing framework we call Kebbie.

While mobile virtual keyboards may appear straightforward on the surface, they are packed with cutting-edge technologies under the hood that vastly enhance user typing efficiency. For example: autocorrection, auto-completion, next-word prediction, and swipe gesture recognition are other NLP features that users typing on mobile use everyday.

This is why we wrote a Fleksy framework with the following features :

1. Comprehensive coverage of the four most important NLP features of a virtual keyboard

-- Auto-correction -- Auto-completion -- Next-word prediction -- Swipe gesture recognition

2. High performance, by leveraging multiprocessing to minimize testing time

3. Customizability, enabling the use of any text dataset, thus supporting multiple languages easily

4. Mobile platform as first-class citizen : entirely centered around mobile virtual keyboards
