Hi, I carefully reviewed your complete specification, including the Android IME implementation, predictive text, autocorrect, emoji support, themes, settings, additional premium features, technical requirements, deliverables, and all 11 proposal questions. I appreciate that you're looking for an original keyboard built from scratch, not a GO Keyboard clone. I have reviewed everything and understand your requirements clearly. I have worked on complex native Android applications and can share the relevant proposal and work samples during our discussion. As an agency, we recommend building the keyboard natively in Kotlin for better performance and long-term maintainability. The first phase will include the complete IME framework, custom layouts, English input, predictive suggestions, basic autocorrect, emoji keyboard, theme support, settings, sound/vibration controls, keyboard height adjustment, and full Android Studio source code with documentation. Advanced features such as swipe typing, AI suggestions, voice input, GIFs, cloud sync, custom theme editor, stickers, and premium themes can be delivered as separate milestones to keep the MVP focused and cost-effective. I'm available to start immediately and would be happy to discuss the implementation roadmap. Rajesh

I can help with this, and I will build your custom Android IME keyboard in Kotlin with all 20 core features included: full IME implementation, custom layouts (letters, numbers, symbols, emoji), predictive text with autocorrect, theme support with multiple built-in themes, settings screen, sound/vibration options, and height adjustment. For word prediction and autocorrect, I will implement a local dictionary with frequency ranking and Levenshtein distance matching, so suggestions stay fast and private with no network dependency. I will send you a short update at the end of each day so nothing drifts off track. Questions: 1) For the additional features (swipe typing, GIF support, AI suggestions), which ones are highest priority for you? Ready to start whenever you are. Kamran

Hey, the trickiest part of a custom IME from scratch is usually the word prediction pipeline — building a decent n-gram or trie-based suggestion engine that feels responsive without killing battery is where most keyboard projects slow down. I’d go Kotlin with the standard InputMethodService base, keeping the suggestion engine and theme system modular so the extra features you listed (swipe, GIF, clipboard) can plug in cleanly later without touching core input logic. For the base feature set you listed, I’m comfortable within your range — are you planning to monetize through premium themes, or is this more of a white-label product for a specific use case?

The Android IME API handles the core input method plumbing, but word prediction and autocorrect are where most of the custom engineering effort sits — you either build a trie-based dictionary with frequency scoring, or integrate something like PresageIME or a lightweight on-device model. The choice affects both timeline and APK size meaningfully. Kotlin is the right call for a clean, maintainable codebase on modern Android targets. Themes, sound/vibration, and height adjustment are all straightforward settings-layer work once the core IME is solid. Swipe typing and AI suggestions I'd quote separately — both are substantial features that can easily double the build time. Is word prediction expected to work fully offline, or is a network connection acceptable for suggestion quality?

This looks like a great fit, We will build your custom Android IME keyboard in Kotlin: full layout system, predictive text, autocorrect, emoji panel, theme support, and a settings screen. For word prediction, we will use a trie-based dictionary with frequency ranking. This keeps suggestions fast without heavy memory use. Autocorrect will rely on edit-distance matching against the local dictionary, so it works offline with no API dependency. A couple of quick things to confirm: 1) Do you have specific visual references for the theme styles you want included at launch? 2) Should the additional features (swipe typing, GIF support, voice input) be scoped now or planned as a second phase? The number quoted here is a starting estimate. The exact cost and timeline will be confirmed after we go through the full scope together. Ready to start whenever you are. Faizan
