Phonetic input
Type the way it sounds and Quick Khmer does the rest: consonants, vowels, and stacked forms render correctly.
Type Khmer, phonetically.
Quick Khmer turns the Latin you type into Khmer as you type. Type "sok" and get សុខ. Type "tov" and get ទៅ. Smart suggestions learn from the picks you make.
Free. No accounts. No ads. Everything stays on your iPhone.
Features
Smart suggestions
Ranked candidates appear above the keys. Pick one and the keyboard remembers, ranking it higher over time.
Auto-stacking
Two consonants without a vowel stack automatically (sk → ស្ក). A dedicated breaker key stops a stack.
Custom mappings
Create shortcut codes that always expand to the Khmer you want, like nhm → ខ្ញុំ.
User dictionary
Add whole words that suggest as you type their prefix, so long words come out in a keystroke or two.
Private by design
No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your typing and your data never leave your iPhone.

Frequently asked questions
Is Quick Khmer really free?
Yes. Quick Khmer is free to download and use, with no accounts, no ads, and no tracking.
How does phonetic typing work?
Type Khmer the way it sounds using Latin letters and Quick Khmer transliterates as you type: "sok" becomes សុខ, "tov" becomes ទៅ. Consonants, vowels, and stacked forms render automatically.
Can I type Khmer in any app?
Yes. Once enabled, Quick Khmer appears anywhere iOS shows a keyboard, just like the built-in keyboards. Open Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards, add Quick Khmer, then tap the globe key to switch.
Does Quick Khmer work offline?
Everything runs on your device. The app makes no network requests of its own, so no internet connection is needed and your typing never leaves your iPhone.
Can I add my own words?
Yes. Custom mappings expand a shortcut into the Khmer you want (like nhm → ខ្ញុំ), and the user dictionary suggests whole words as you type their prefix. The keyboard also ranks frequently picked candidates higher over time.
Is my typing private?
Quick Khmer has no analytics, no advertising, and no accounts. It does not request Full Access, all processing happens on your device, and your data never leaves it.
