Help · Keyboard, foreign channel, and mail

How do I read a message written with the keyboard?

You copy the text and tap „Decode“. Semanty shows the meaning only after that tap.

Step by step

  1. Open the message in Viber, WhatsApp, or the mail.
  2. Copy the whole text.
  3. Open the Semanty keyboard.
  4. Tap „Decode“ on the keyboard.

Other paths

  • Copy the text.
  • Pull down the bar at the top of the phone.
  • Tap the „Decode“ tile.
  • Semanty reads the copied text only at this tap.
  • Or select the text and choose „Semanty decode“.
  • Or share the message to Semanty.

Good to know

  • „Apply“ puts the read text into the field.
  • Then the keyboard hides.
  • If „Decode with fingerprint“ is on, the phone asks.
  • It asks for a face or a finger.
  • If you refuse, the meaning is not shown.
  • The tile is added from „Add decode to the bar“.
  • You can also do it by hand: pull down the bar, edit the tiles, add „Decode“.
  • Outside, the icon does not say what it is.
  • The keyboard is in Gold, and only for Android.
