Keyboard app SwiftKey just made typing a little bit faster.

The app's newest update, announced Thursday, can predict what you are saying up to two words in advance, as seen below. Other new features includes a quicker emoji keyboard shortcut and five new languages.

The keyboard will continue to take into account user voice and writing style to more accurately suggest words. SwiftKey is not the only keyboard to feature more than one word suggestions –– an update released for Swype in May added two-word phrases to the prediction bar.

In addition to the longer phrase suggestions, the SwiftKey update included a "massive overhaul" to its settings menu with more clearly labeled sections. It also added a free new keyboard theme called Carbon Light and fixed a jumpy cursor bug. You can download the Beta version from Google Play today.
