I do not own this software and did not make this application, I follow his twitter and watch for the latest beta for android and upload it here for you guys to try out.

LATEST BETA [November 27, 2016]:
DOWNLOAD LATEST NINTYPE: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.jormy.sixtynine

This will be alpha only until 2018 as Jormy still has some work to do with the algorithm, amongst other things on android
Features:
two-handed tap/slide hybrid input
shortcut system
customizable themes

Devices that I tested it on: Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900W8) Canadian model, Samsung Galaxy Tab S (8.4), Galaxy S3 i9300, Galaxy tab 4 (7.0), LG G4, Galaxy S7, Sony Xperia Z3, Galaxy A5

Youtube Tutorial:

Have fun typing. It will be frustrating in the beginning but it's really worth it. Stick with it for a day or two and you will get a hang of it, you will learn fast that's what makes this keyboard brilliant. Once you learn how to type on it, Swiftkey, Google Keyboard, A.I. Type, Fleksy, Swype, Touchpal X, and even your computer keyboard won't compare to the speeds you can reach on this keyboard.

If the dev updates the beta I will post the updated link here

Playing with it today.

I can't find a sound off option either.

Emoji-anything crashes the keyboard (no error, the keyboard just goes away for a minute).

Shortcut swiping is giving me a head-ache. Going to look for youtube video shortly.

Is there basic macro/shortcuts (ie, if I do "t " it expands to "the" ?)

I somehow messed up my topbar - it only shows the last words I typed, can't seem to go back to suggestions.

No clue on the slide-up flicking thing.

In settings, back pushes out of settings instead of back 1 menu (pita when trying to go through all the menus)

...BUT

For an early work, especially when he is concentrating on iOS - this is very, very promising!

i dont know about the basic macro/shortcuts i dont really use them. to reset your topbar i looked around the app but i guess the fastest thing to do is to reinstall the app. the flicking up thig u mentioned i think is the word selection after you type a word flick up from the spacebar to see other words you might have wanted to type intead of the one the keyboard displays. and yeah, the back in the menu pisses me of a lot.
I also agree. pretty well done for a beta. keyboard works for the most part. :)

Click to expand...
Dev responded to me on twitter - no way to turn off noise at the moment. Says new version may come out in a few days.

Thank you so much! Recently switched from iOS to android and it's one of the things that I miss a lot. Hopefully, the developer will pick up his work on the keyboard
