Questions

Keyboard details.

What is the Vavus Keyboard?+

The Vavus Keyboard is a cross-platform translation keyboard available today as an iOS keyboard extension and a desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux via Electron). The Android listing is not public yet. It adds live dictation, translation, reverse translation, and persistent translation history to any app you can type into — messaging apps, email, browsers, documents, social. On desktop it also adds OS-level hotkeys for the same actions.

How does the Vavus Keyboard work on iPhone?+

On iPhone, the Vavus Keyboard installs as a custom keyboard extension through iOS Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard. Once enabled, you can switch to it from the globe key inside any app and use it for dictation, translation, and reverse translation. The keyboard works in any iOS app that accepts text input.

How does the Vavus Keyboard work on Android?+

The Android keyboard listing is not public yet. Vavus is preparing an Android IME so it can work system-wide in Android apps that accept text input. Use iOS, Windows, macOS, or Linux while the Android listing is prepared.

How does the Vavus Keyboard work on desktop?+

On Windows, macOS, and Linux, the Vavus Keyboard runs as an Electron desktop app that adds three OS-level hotkeys: dictation, translation, and reverse translation. The hotkeys work across any application — type in your own language, translate the result, or translate something you have selected — without leaving the app you are working in.

How much does the Vavus Keyboard cost?+

The standalone Vavus Keyboard plan is USD 10.48 per month on web during beta, then USD 14.97 per month post-beta (USD 14.99 on Apple App Store, following Apple's pricing tier). It includes a 3-day trial and unlimited keyboard usage — dictation, translation, reverse translation, and translation history with no per-character cap.

Do I need a Vavus AI subscription to use the keyboard?+

No. The standalone Vavus Keyboard plan is sold separately and works on its own. If you already subscribe to Vavus AI, the built-in keyboard inside the super app is included with your plan; the standalone plan is for users who want only the keyboard product.
