Pātuhi

Pātuhi is a keyboard for Android with predictive text and spellcheck for New Zealand English, te reo Māori and Australian English. The name is te reo Māori for a key of a keyboard.

As you type, Pātuhi suggests the word you are writing and the word that usually comes next. It corrects common typing slips when you press space. Backspace straight after a correction puts back what you typed. Choose Pātuhi as the spellchecker in Android's settings and it underlines misspelt words in other apps too.

Its New Zealand English includes everyday te reo Māori words such as whānau, kaupapa and kōrero, spelt with their macrons. In the New Zealand English and te reo Māori layouts, long-press a vowel for ā, ē, ī, ō and ū. The te reo Māori keyboard draws its words from Te Papakupu Māori o Aotearoa.

Pātuhi learns the words you use and keeps them on your device. It learns nothing in incognito mode, in password fields, or in apps that ask keyboards not to learn. You can clear what it has learnt in the settings.

Pātuhi has no internet permission. Nothing you type leaves your device.

The app keeps FlorisBoard's layouts for many languages, its emoji panel, clipboard history, one-handed mode and gestures.

ursa.nz makes Pātuhi as a fork of FlorisBoard. Its suggestion engine is the LatinIME core from the Android Open Source Project. The English dictionaries are built from SCOWL and the Leipzig Corpora Collection. The te reo Māori dictionary is Te Papakupu Māori o Aotearoa by Kiharoa (Konrad) Dear, which includes the Te Ngutu Kura word list. The code is open source, GPL-3.0-or-later, with FlorisBoard's code under Apache-2.0. The dictionaries carry their sources' licences, including a non-commercial term from Leipzig.
