A new predictive keyboard app called ShakeSpeak—released in honor of the upcoming 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death on April 23—will help you send messages like the famous Bard.
In order to create ShakeSpeak, the predictive keyboard app company SwiftKey analyzed the language used throughout the Bard’s complete works. As a result, the app can predict Shakespeare’s most famous phrases as you type, so you don’t need to remember an exact quote to sound ultra-literary over text. Simply begin typing “all the…” and the app will fill in “world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players,” the iconic beginning to the speech from As You Like It. Say “some are,” and it will turn it into the Twelfth Night line, “some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.”
