BardBoard

Text like Shakespeare. One tap.

BardBoard is an iPhone keyboard with one button, Bardify. It rewrites the message you just typed into Shakespearean English, ready to send. If you don't like it, Undo puts your words back.

Hold, what sayst thou?

Flight lands 6:45pm, terminal 2. I'll text when I have my bag

Flight lands 6:45pm, terminal 2. I shall text once my bag and I are reunited.

your fantasy team is 1-7 and you're still talking??

Thy fantasy team is 1-7, and yet thou waggest thy tongue? Speak not, lest the league learn how bravely thy squad doth flounder.

my plants are dying faster than my will to do laundry

My plants are dying swifter than my will to do laundry, the pots wail like small green funerals while the hamper gorges on my hope.

Names, times, numbers, links and emoji stay exactly as you typed them. A no stays a no, and a question stays a question.

How it works

Add BardBoard as a keyboard, type in any app, pick a voice, tap Bardify. Typing works on its own. Bardify needs Full Access because it uses the network, and it sends text only when you tap it. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Read exactly what is sent.
