FREQUENTLY ASKED
Read this before you install.
About network access, Android's warning, model mistakes, sensitive fields, storage, battery, and website behavior.
01Does SottoKey send what I type to a server?
It can't. The app has no INTERNET permission, so Android gives it no way to open a connection, and the rewrite model lives on the phone. Don't take our word for it—check the permission list yourself.
02Why does Android show a keyboard warning?
Android shows the same generic warning for every third-party keyboard, whatever its actual permissions. SottoKey's answer is structural: no internet permission, so your keystrokes have nowhere to go. Check the permission list yourself.
03Can the model make mistakes?
Yes. A small on-device model can pick the wrong word or shift a meaning. That is why nothing is replaced silently: every change is marked, and the edit waits for your approval. SottoKey also checks numbers, URLs, and negation—but your review is the final gate.
04Does it work in password fields?
It still types, and that is all. Suggestions, learning, rewriting, and clipboard capture switch off in fields the host app correctly marks as password-class.
05How much storage does it use?
The current Q8_0 model payload is approximately 379 MB, plus the keyboard and app. That size is the point: the model sits on your phone, so rewriting needs no server, no account, and no connection. The final Play download size may change before release.
06How does rewriting affect battery life?
A rewrite runs the local model, so it costs more power than typing. The model runs only when you ask, never in the background while you type. SottoKey does not publish a battery figure yet—the testing is still open, and a guessed number is worse than none.
07Does it rewrite Spanish?
Not yet. The keyboard handles Spanish layouts, dictionaries, and local correction, but the rewrite model is English-focused. SottoKey will claim Spanish rewriting when it earns the claim, not before.
08Is it available on iPhone?
No. SottoKey is an Android keyboard, and the release work is focused there.
09Can I try arbitrary text on this website?
No. A live web rewrite would need a server, and a server is the one thing SottoKey does not have. The demo on this site shows a real rewrite from the model that ships in the app.
