I have been using mistari and it works well.This is what i wanted especially the sheng language. I like the updated version as it has bug fixes.

You guys need to try it.

Get to try Mistari on appstore.

I concur with the changing language but that is a good challenge to have, the biggest philosophy goes "the idea is not to land man on the moon but the knowledge learnt." I mean there was enough challenge compiling the sheng dictionary already, the beauty is the road map of the app from the lessons learnt in creating it, localized similes, spread it across Africa etc..

Lets land the Kenyan app as a phenomenon, its only 99 shs payable via MPesa.

@wash You are right, sheng is not universal since changes randomly without universal application..

Good example is what I experienced this weekend. An invite to a party that began with "Uko ndakala plot ya...." Meaning "are you for the event..". Previously it was "Uko ndani plot ya....."

Someone please help me here. Is SHENG slowly becoming an official language or sorts? My experience listening and doing small time analysis with the speakers tells me that the SHENG isn't universal. There are words which are region-specific and are not easily understood across the divide unless 'transported' to other regions.

Okay. I don't have anything against SHENG. It's just that I don't speak it. I am an old cat:)

Hi All,

The Mistari app by Solami is finally out.
You can access it on Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.solami.mistari.latin&hl=en

- No more autocorrecting your SHENG & SWAHILI words!
- No saving/adding SHENG & SWAHILI to your device dictionary anymore!
- Get all your SHENG & SWAHILI to your android tablet r smart phone.
- Define your vernacular and build on it.


All Free*


Kind Regards,

Here's the one I'm using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup
Its only an app backup and recovery tool, it doesn't have any dictionary built in

Why not consolidate the dictionaries we have and use Helium to restore? Just thinking

+1 SwiftKey. Saves your 'dictionary' across all the devices you use and learns your language and style from your emails, social media updates etc (so accurate it's scary).
Using Helium (Playstore) I'm able to back up my dictionary and share it with other Android devices

Excellent Idea this one. Hope someone with the chops and time can take it and run with it. I would be client no. 1. And I would be willing to pay a reasonable fee.

I use an app called swiftkey...after a few months of 'learning' my sheng/swa I`m good.

However I dont know whether you can download/transfer your language usage to another new phone

Hi Skunks

I don't know if its only me who after I buy a smart phone I have to spend several weeks adding my sheng, swahili and other locallized words to the English dictionary before I find it enjoyable to use.

My question is this:
1. Is a quicker way to do this, if so kindly share.
2. If no, I was suggesting the app developers here can create an app we just install and it loads those words. We can become contributors of the words initially to have a database.
