Comments on FirstVoices Keyboards for Android

★★★★☆ Sariel Sandoval · Aug 1, 2019

I love it. It doesn't have Qlispe Salish, but I was able to choose a language that had similar syllables, though I have to keep switching between keyboards.

★★★★☆ Phoenix Apperloo · Aug 21, 2020

Pretty helpful, however the Gitxsenimx keyboard has an "f" in the lowercase mode which doesn't exist in Gitxsenimx and takes up space in which lowercase "g" should be, uppercase keyboard doesn't have this issue

★★★★★ Werld Chief · Jun 26, 2024

Use it all the time to help myself remember my teachings from middle school. All them tape recordings imprinted in my brain. Learning from the elders through tape recordings and hearing them pronounce every word and just put of curiosity do we use hand gestures and facial expressions to also direct the conversation? Lip pointing is not the only one we have.

★☆☆☆☆ Mac Laws · May 30, 2016

I downloaded it chose Lakota set it up but It's always in english. What am I doing wrong¿ Do I have to uninstall any other keyboard that I use. It's on my phone Nexus 5, not a pc.

★☆☆☆☆ Joanne Teel · Jun 1, 2016

I downloaded it, hoping that it would have the Qua paw language or at least some sort of Siouan language, but it does not have either. 😕
