## Description

New: dictation now writes in your language, and the strip above the keys is half as tall. Keys up to three times the size, ten languages, nothing leaves your iPhone.

Big, easy-to-read keys for seniors and anyone with low vision. Type in Messages, Mail and every other app with fewer typos.

MUCH BIGGER KEYS
Each row of the usual keyboard is split across two rows, so every key is roughly twice as wide. The letters grow with them. Four sizes, from Medium up to about three times the standard key.

LESS SCREEN, SAME BIG KEYS
Turn on the thin strip above the keys and the keyboard takes less of the screen, while every key stays exactly as big.

BIG EMOJI
Tap the smiley key next to 123 for the iPhone's own emoji, as big as the keys. The ones you sent last come first.

SEE THE KEY BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Nothing is typed when you touch a key. Hold your finger down and the letter appears above it, very large. If it is the wrong one, slide to the right one and let go. Only then is it typed.

COLOURS THAT WORK FOR YOUR EYES
Yellow on black, white on black, black on yellow, black on white, or matching your iPhone's light and dark mode. If bright screens are painful, the dark themes are not a novelty — they are the point.

HEAR WHAT YOU TYPE
BigKeys can speak each key as your finger passes over it, and each word as you finish it. It works alongside VoiceOver rather than talking over it.

WORD SUGGESTIONS
Suggestions appear in large type as you type, and BigKeys learns the words you use most. All of it happens on your iPhone.

TEN LANGUAGES, ONE KEYBOARD
English, Hebrew, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian and Arabic — including right-to-left. Add it once and switch between them from the keyboard.

NOTHING LEAVES YOUR IPHONE
BigKeys never asks for "Allow Full Access". You can check: Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > BigKeys. There is no such switch. Without it iOS will not let a keyboard reach the network at all, so nothing you type can go anywhere.

BEFORE YOU BUY
iOS never allows any third-party keyboard into a password field. Apple's own keyboard appears instead. This is true of every keyboard app on the App Store and cannot be changed.

Setting BigKeys up takes about a minute. The app walks you through it one step at a time, in large print, and tells you when it is working.
