Microsoft has completed the acquisition of SwiftKey whose keyboard and SDK powers more than 300 million Android and iOS devices. Microsoft will continue to develop SwiftKey’s market-leading keyboard apps for Android and iOS.

Microsoft says on the acquisition:
SwiftKey’s technology aligns with our vision for more personal computing experiences
