Typikey: A Keyboard Made of Whole Words
An iPad keyboard that replaces tiny letter keys with large, customizable word boards for people who find standard typing physically difficult.
Field notes
The keyboard replaces letter-by-letter input with stable boards of whole words, using a slide-and-lift gesture intended to prevent accidental typing. The page describes next-word prediction, in-place grammar changes such as “go” to “going,” and linked custom pages for personal vocabulary. It also states that the keyboard makes no network calls, while its pictograms come from ARASAAC under a CC BY-NC-SA license. The current access path is a free Apple TestFlight beta for iPad.
