Visual Tour & Screenshots
Overview
PixelBoard is a sleek, ultra-clean enhancement of Google's flagship keyboard. Tailored for pure productivity, PixelBoard strips away unnecessary bloatware and focuses strictly on powerhouse capabilities: Gemini Rambler Natural Voice Dictation, AI Writing Assistant, Modern Spell Checker Suggestion Chips & Grammar Checking, Scan Text Camera OCR, Screenshot Floating Suggestions, Material 3 Expressive Rounded Keys, Google Sans Flex Keycap Typography, Proactive Undo in Suggestion Strip, Emoji Palette V2, Super Insert Quick Hub, Restored Emoji Size Slider & Vibrant Emojis, Samsung & Vivo Clipboard History Sync, and Automatic Zero-Restart Instant Activation.
PixelBoard is engineered with an independent coexistence package ID (com.akshaykadam.pixelboard), allowing you to install and use it side-by-side with your factory Gboard without replacing, uninstalling, or risking system keyboard stability.
