This appears to have pivoted to an iOS keyboard, after all? Quite fun; will it be possible to create bespoke personae, as with jive filters?

When you want to sound more sophisticated (but also teach you new words), flip to the Words U app. 😄

This is actually similar Emojimo Keyboard, in that it replaces words with emojis automatically, also created by @daspianist and @samrealizes. Curious to hear more about how this came to be.

@samrealizes @rrhoover Thanks for hunting Words U, Ryan! Sam and I have always had education angle when it came to making apps (Sam was a tutor since first grade), and building the Emojimo apps allowed us to explore the technology with emojis, as our.. Emoji MVP. Words U is actually a stand-alone learning app. The transformed words are highlighted and interactive, and learners can tap on them to reveal definitions and more. We thought one of the best ways to expose and help learners expand their vocabulary is through context - and what better and more relevant context than new vocabulary words inside their own conversations. Words U is our exploration of texting as a medium for learning, and we hope it could help time-constrained students, whether its for their own personal enrichment or preparing for exams like the SAT, learn more effectively. Also it helps them sound smart, too 😙

Interesting application but I see a massive barrier to entry. This would be 10x better if it were an iOS keyboard.

@nparsons08 Great point Nick. As a messenger, its always hard to get it out there to people because the existing network effects of the likes of Whatsapp or FB Messenger. The reason why this is standalone is that our target audience are students and ELL learners. These learners prefer to have the interactivity of a messenger where they could tap on words to find definitions, or revert to the original text if they get confused. This is messenging for the sake of learning and communications, and therefore needs those things.
