Clex Keyboard on Android

A full system keyboard for Android 8.0 and newer. Pictogram-to-sentence generation, on-device text-to-speech, on-device translation into 23 languages, managed or BYOD deployment.

Clex Keyboard on Android is a full system keyboard that replaces the default keyboard on any Android phone or tablet running Android 8.0 or newer. It produces the same record-ready sentence in Danish, Swedish, English, or German that appears on every other Clex surface - the difference is that on Android, that sentence goes directly into the care app the worker already has open - through the keyboard they already use.

What it looks like on a shift

A home-care worker visits the resident, opens the care app the kommune already uses, and puts the cursor in the same record field as always. She starts typing the note. Above the keyboard, word suggestions trained on care vocabulary appear in the organisation’s care-record language. As she writes, Clex recognises the care concepts - body area, condition, situation - and offers a full sentence below the keyboard, in the organisation’s care-record language. She taps to hear it read back, corrects if needed, and saves. The note goes into the record system directly, no app switching, no copy-paste. Total additional time: seconds.

What it does, feature by feature

Word suggestions as the care worker types. Trained on care-documentation language, not the general vocabulary of a phone keyboard. All predictions run on the device, with separate models per language. Pictograms appear next to the words Clex recognises as care concepts.
Pictogram-based sentence suggestions. As the care worker writes a few words, Clex recognises the care concepts (body area, condition, care situation), displays the matching purpose-built pictograms alongside the word suggestions, and proposes a sentence in the organisation’s care-record language. Only the pictogram identifiers and the chosen language leave the device; the free text does not.
On-device text-to-speech. The suggested sentence can be read aloud before saving, a correctness check for bilingual staff and an accessibility aid for staff with dyslexia.
On-device translation into 23 languages. The same sentence appears in the care worker’s first language in parallel, so they can confirm the proposed note says what they intended.
Pictogram search. A full-text search across the pictogram database, including a body-part filter via the body selector.

For bilingual staff

Care workers whose first language is not Danish or Swedish are typically among the quickest to adopt the keyboard. The keyboard suggests the local-language sentence the record system expects, and shows the same sentence in the care worker’s first language in parallel. The text-to-speech reads it back in either language. Care workers who were previously among the slowest at documentation often become among the fastest, without any language training. See the language gap for the data and background.

The 23 languages

Albanian, Arabic, Bosnian, Danish, Dari, English, Farsi (Persian), Filipino (Tagalog), Finnish, French, German, Italian, Nepali, Norwegian (Bokmål), Polish, Romanian, Somali, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese - all for live translation and text-to-speech. The set reflects the demographic reality of foreign-born care staff across Scandinavia.

How it ships

Managed deployment through the kommune’s MDM - Intune, Knox, or any standards-compliant MDM. A managed configuration bundle carries the customer ID and language preferences; the licence key is assigned centrally and the care worker never sees it.
BYOD activation for staff on personal devices and for kommuner that do not run full MDM. The administrator generates an activation code in the Clex Deployment Portal; the care worker taps a deep link and Clex is active.

Updates ship through the same channel the kommune already uses. See rollout without an IT project for the procurement angle.

Where to get it

Clex Keyboard for Android is available on the Google Play Store. MDM-managed installs pull from the same Play Store listing; BYOD installs use the same listing plus an activation code.
