Keyboard or foreign channel in Semanty
The Semanty keyboard writes to a friend in the app, and only they decode it. The chat can also appear there. The foreign channel does not pass through Semanty's server.
The keyboard: to your friend in Semanty
You stay in Viber, WhatsApp, or mail. You switch to the Semanty keyboard, write the real words, and tap „Encode“, then „Apply“. A different ordinary text goes into the field. You send it with that app's button.
The message is addressed to a friend who is your contact in Semanty. Only they decode the meaning. Anyone who sees the same sentence in Viber or in the mail reads ordinary text and does not get what you said.
If you want, the same exchange can also sit in the chat between the two of you in the Semanty app. It is there, in your conversation. If you do not ask for that, the text stays in the other app, and still only that friend reads the meaning.
The keyboard is for an Android phone, in the Gold pack. There is no such keyboard on iPhone yet.
The foreign channel: the encoded text does not pass through the server
Here you write in Semanty and get a finished text. You copy it and put it wherever you want: mail, another chat, a note, a computer. The letter can sit there. Whoever opens it reads ordinary text.
No information about that encoded text passes through Semanty's server. It is not sent from there and it is not kept there. The letter travels only through the place you choose. That is why this path is called the foreign channel.
The friend you paired with copies the whole text, pastes it into Semanty, and taps „Decode“. What you said comes out. You pair once. After that, every new letter takes the same path. Both of you need Gold.
If you want, DanAIa dresses the visible text in another topic. The sign for reading travels apart from the letter. The same letter is made on the computer: „Mail mode“, then you copy it and paste it into Gmail.

| You write from a computer | The keyboard is for the phone. | Yes. „Mail mode“ on Windows makes the same letter. |
| The other person is on iPhone | They do not have this keyboard. | Yes. They paste the text into Semanty and read it. |
In one sentence
The keyboard is a letter to one friend in Semanty. Only they decode the meaning. If you want, the same exchange also sits in the chat between you in the app.
The foreign channel is a letter you carry yourself. The encoded text does not pass through Semanty's server. Outside, both show ordinary text. DanAIa, if you turn it on, only dresses what is visible. Neither is for ads.
