Microsoft today confirmed its acquisition of mobile keyboard maker SwiftKey.

The tech titan will continue developing SwiftKey's apps for Android and iOS, while exploring the integration of predictive technology into its own products and services.

"SwiftKey's technology aligns with our vision for more personal computing experiences that anticipate our needs versus responding to our commands," Harry Shum, executive vice president of Microsoft Technology and Research, said in a statement. "[It also] directly supports our ambition to reinvent productivity by leveraging the intelligent cloud."

Founded in 2008 by Jon Reynolds and Ben Medlock, the U.K.-based SwiftKey was released as an Android beta in July 2010; an iOS version launched in January 2014.

In less than six years, the company estimates its users have saved 10 trillion keystrokes across 100 languages, which adds up to more than 100,000 years in reclaimed typing time.

"Our number one focus has always been to build the best possible products for our users," Reynolds and Medlock wrote in a blog post. "We are as committed as ever to improving [our apps] in new and innovative ways."

That includes the likely partnership between SwiftKey automation and Windows' Guinness World Record-setting Word Flow shape-writing keyboard.

"SwiftKey's predictive technology aligns with Microsoft's investments and ambition to develop intelligence systems that can work more on the user's behalf and under their control," Shum said.

In April, SwiftKey launched the experimental Clarity Keyboard Beta, an Android app that promises to help users focus on what they're typing, while offering various autocorrect options to quicken the pace. It's part of SwiftKey's Greenhouse incubator, where the company experiments with projects that may never come to fruition.
