Clex Keyboard on iOS

A keyboard extension for iPhone and iPad running iOS 16.6 or later. Pictogram-to-sentence generation, on-device text-to-speech, on-device translation into 23 languages, managed or BYOD deployment.

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 a few words; Clex recognises the care concepts, proposes a record-ready sentence in the organisation’s care language, and inserts it directly into 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, and a full sentence appears below the keyboard, in the organisation’s care-record language. She taps to hear it read aloud using Apple’s offline speech synthesis, adjusts it if needed, and taps to insert it into 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.
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 (Danish, Swedish, English, or German). Only the pictogram identifiers and the chosen language leave the device.
On-device text-to-speech. Uses Apple’s offline speech synthesis. The sentence can be played back to verify accuracy and to help staff who prefer to hear it before saving.
On-device translation. The proposed sentence also appears in the care worker’s first language; 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.

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 sentence 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 reach the sentence-generation API.
