[RaduTyrsina]

Microsoft is porting its popular predictive text keyboard for Windows Phone, dubbed Word Flow, over to the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

Tom Warren with The Verge’s has obtained an email which has been sent out to some Windows Insider testers, where Microsoft invites iPhone users to participate in a trial of the Word Flow keyboard for iOS.

On Windows Phone, the Word Flow keyboard comes with such advanced features such as autocorrect, suggestions, gestures, multi-language support, emoticons, the ability to swipe letters like in Swype’s keyboard, and more.

Word Flow also has a 12-key layout for entering phone numbers and a context-specific .com key that appears when you surf the web. Furthermore, the keyboard actually changes the active area of letters as the prediction engine works.

At the moment we don't know when exactly will Word Flow for iOS launch, but it should be a matter of weeks or months before it's ready for prime time.
