Google Keyboard updates to v3.1.19633 with new languages, spoken Emoji support and more [APK Download]

A new version of the Google Keyboard app has been released by Google today. The update brings the free keyboard replacement up to version 3.1.19633. With it comes a number of changes that are quite important to those some.

With the update Google has added 5 new languages to the mix. The keyboard replacement now supports Indian English, Basque, Galician, Swiss Italian, and Latin American Spanish. The voice input button has also been moved. It now resides in the top right when it can be used when it isn’t present in the app you are using. Like below, it appears for a text message, but in the Chrome Browser you can tap on it in at the top in the search box. 

Spoken Emoji’s are now becoming a thing too. Seems the groundwork is in place but only a couple of them are working at the moment. This just means that you can verbally say “Smiley Face” and the keyboard will know that you want to put in a :-). The same is true for Sad Face and Tongue Face. Android Police has also pulled out the huge string that contains the hotword triggers for 808 Emoji images. Everything from a “No Smoking symbol” to “cat face with tears of joy”.

The final little addition is the removal of the long-press delay menu item.

I am sure many of you have already moved on to the Android L keyboard, but if you havn’t we have the newest Google keyboard apk download available for you below.
