Clex Keyboard on iOS

A keyboard extension for iPhone and iPad on iOS 16.6 or later: word suggestions, sentence correction and rewrite, speech to text and read-aloud, on the device.

Clex Keyboard on iOS is a keyboard extension for iPhone and iPad running iOS 16.6 or later. Once enabled, it is available as a keyboard in every text field on the device, including inside the kommune’s care app. The care worker writes the note; Clex corrects the spelling, rewrites it into fluent care-record language on the device, and shows each change for approval before it lands in the open record field.

What it looks like on a shift

At the bedside with the resident’s iPad in hand, the care worker opens the record field and starts typing. Clex’s word suggestions appear above the keyboard in the organisation’s care language. As she writes, pictograms appear next to the words Clex recognises. When the note is down, she taps the correction and rewrite button in the toolbar: Clex corrects the spelling and rewrites the note into fluent record language, on the device, and shows her each change. She accepts what she agrees with, taps to hear it read aloud using Apple’s offline speech synthesis, and saves it in the record.

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. They run on the device, vary by language, and are tuned to the formal style of Scandinavian care records. Pictograms appear next to the words Clex recognises as care concepts.
Sentence correction and rewrite. One tap in the toolbar, and two models on the device go to work: the first corrects spelling and typos, the second rewrites the note into fluent, neutral care-record language. The worker sees each change and accepts or rejects it before anything is saved. Nothing typed and nothing corrected leaves the device.
Pictograms as a visual aid. Purpose-built pictograms mark the care concepts Clex recognises - body area, condition, care situation - next to the word suggestions and in search, so the note is easier to read at a glance for staff with dyslexia or a different first language.
On-device text-to-speech. Uses Apple’s offline speech synthesis. The note can be played back to verify accuracy and to help staff who prefer to hear it before saving.
On-device speech to text. The care worker can dictate a note instead of typing it. Because iOS keeps the microphone away from keyboards, the Clex app on the same device does the recording and transcription, and the words come straight back into the field, where they can be corrected, read aloud, or translated like typed text. Available for Danish and Swedish; the audio never leaves the device.
On-device translation. The note also appears in the care worker’s first language - 26 languages in all, the Android list without Lithuanian and Pashto - and the translation runs entirely on the device.
Pictogram search and body selector. A full-text search across the pictogram database, with a body-part filter for fast navigation.
Clex Academy. A guided practice area in the Clex app where staff learn the keyboard step by step with short exercises. The practice profile (a chosen name and progress) stays on the device.

Everything happens on the device. The iOS keyboard extension runs within Apple’s standard keyboard sandbox, subject to the memory limits for keyboard extensions; no personal text leaves the device.

For bilingual staff

The same note appears in both the care record language and the care worker’s own language, and can be read aloud in either. The staff member who used to ask a colleague to check her notes now checks them herself.

How it ships

Managed deployment through the kommune’s MDM with a managed configuration bundle. Licence key, language preferences, and customer ID are delivered through the MDM channel; the care worker never sees them.
BYOD activation via a deep link (clex://activate?code=XXX&lang=sv) for staff on personal devices. The administrator generates the activation code in the Clex Deployment Portal and sends it to the care worker.

Once installed, the care worker enables Clex as they would any other third-party keyboard on iOS: Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard → Clex, then grants “Allow Full Access” so the keyboard can check its licence, send the daily usage count, and download language models.

Where to get it

Clex Keyboard for iOS is distributed through the App Store. Managed installs through MDM (Apple Business Manager or any MDM with VPP support) come from the same App Store listing; BYOD installs use the same listing plus an activation code.
