How one would write your texts

IN celebration of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee, a mobile app is adding a royal touch to emails, texts and tweets by suggesting words that the British monarch would be most likely to use.

SwiftKey is an Android app that uses artificial intelligence to correct and predict words as they are typed. To mark the Queen's 60-year reign, the company released the Queen's English, a new language module.

The company created the module using its underlying language technology, processing transcripts of the Queen's speeches. It revealed several trends, including the Queen's avoidance of contractions such as "it's."

The app, which is available in more than 45 languages, costs US$3.99. It is available for a free one-month trial.
