Launched in 2006, Adaptxt supported Windows Mobile smartphones only. Adaptxt provides features such as context-based next-word suggestions,{{cite news |title=Adaptxt 3.0 Beta launched, shows location and app based word suggestions |url=https://www.digit.in/news/apps/adaptxt-3-0-beta-launched-shows-location-and-app-based-word-suggestions-19856.html |work=Digit |date=21 February 2014 |language=en}} word completion, personal dictionary, dynamic language detection, conversion from SMS language to standard English and vice versa, multilingual text entry and a feature that learns new words and context while typing.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/6121806.stm |title=UK | Scotland | Glasgow and West | Jobs boost for text message firm |publisher=BBC News |date=2006-11-06 |accessdate=2013-09-16}}

The application stores the new words in the user’s personal dictionary, where they can be edited. KeyPoint also claims that Adaptxt users can type in any of the installed languages without changing their keyboard language or dictionary, thanks to an engine capable of recognizing the language in use. This feature is supposed to be an added value for users who are bi-lingual or occasionally type in a foreign language.{{cite web |url=http://www.gomonews.com/kpt-identifies-351m-untapped-market-for-language-dictionaries-on-mobile-phones/ |title=KPT identifies $351m untapped market for language dictionaries on mobile phonesGoMo News |publisher=Gomonews.com |date=2009-08-05 |accessdate=2013-09-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120906014214/http://www.gomonews.com/kpt-identifies-351m-untapped-market-for-language-dictionaries-on-mobile-phones/ |archive-date=2012-09-06 |url-status=usurped }}

Later that year, KeyPoint also launched a new version of Adaptxt with error correction. This feature provides alternative suggestions for incorrect spellings. Automated correction of spelling mistakes were also made available, with an option to revert to the exact word entered by the user in case of unwanted corrections. All these features can now be found in the Symbian version of the product and most of them can also be found in the Windows Mobile version.{{cite web|author=Keypoint Technologies (www.keypoint-tech.com) |url=http://www.adaptxt.com/ |title=Adaptxt |publisher=Adaptxt |date= |accessdate=2013-09-16}}

KeyPoint was also the first software company to introduce professional add-on dictionaries that provide industry-specific word and phrase suggestions related to a particular profession, such as medicine, law, IT and telecommunications, business and finance. Users can download additional language and professional dictionaries from the product website directly to their devices.

In May 2011, KeyPoint made Adaptxt open source through the project "OpenAdaptxt".{{cite web|url=http://openadaptxt.sourceforge.net/index.html |title=OpenAdaptxt |publisher=Openadaptxt.sourceforge.net |date= |accessdate=2013-09-16}}
