## What is jKey?

Keys too small to hit? jKey replaces the tiny QWERTY grid with a few giant, high-contrast buttons. Tap a group, then your letter—or tap groups only and let jKey guess the word. Built for low vision, tremor and one-handed typing.

Free to try; one-time Pro unlock; no subscription.

HOW IT WORKS
• The alphabet is split into five big groups. Tap a group and its letters open up, large and easy to hit. Tap your letter and you're back.
• Cluster Only Mode skips choosing letters altogether: tap one group per letter and jKey offers the words that fit. Tap the one you meant.
• The suggestion bar finishes the word you're typing and predicts the next one, and gets better at the word pairs you use.

EASY TO SEE, EASY TO HIT
• Four high-contrast themes, including yellow on black and black on yellow
• Four text sizes, from Small to Extra Large
• Big keys that suit tremor, limited dexterity and one-handed typing

MADE FOR VOICEOVER
• Every key is clearly labelled
• Choose how keys respond: Standard, Touch Typing, or Direct Touch, where a single tap types
• A guided, VoiceOver-friendly setup turns jKey on and lets you practice right in the app

SAVE TYPING
• Snippets type your name, email address or a common reply in one tap
• My Words teaches jKey names and words it should suggest
• Numbers, symbols and your favorite emoji are one tap away

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Word suggestions come from a model built into the keyboard. Nothing you type leaves your iPhone or iPad, and there's no cloud or AI service involved. Full Access is optional: jKey only needs it for the Copy and Paste snippet commands.

FREE AND PRO
Everything you need to type is free, forever: both typing modes, word suggestions, My Words, every VoiceOver option, every high-contrast theme and every text size. Free includes 3 snippet categories of 3 snippets and 3 emoji groups.

jKey Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It adds up to 6 snippet categories of 6 snippets, up to 6 emoji groups, custom keyboard colors, and Copy and Paste snippet commands. Pro works with Family Sharing, so one purchase covers your family. If you bought jKey before it became free, Pro is already yours.

Requires iOS 18.2 or later. English only.

iOS 27 and bug fixes

### 2026.1 — 2026-08-28

CLUSTER ONLY MODE, REBUILT

Tap the clusters for a whole word — no picking letters — and jKey shows the
words that match instantly, in the bar right above the keys.

• The cluster keys now sit in exactly the same places as in letter typing, so
  switching between the two never moves your targets.
• Page arrows sit at each edge of the prediction bar.
• Between words, the bar offers . , ? and ! so you never have to leave the mode.
• An ABC button switches to letter typing and back with your text intact, and
  the keyboard reopens in whichever mode you used last.

A NEW PREDICTION ENGINE

Predictions now come from a language model built into the keyboard that knows
which words actually follow which — so "thank" suggests "you", and "I" suggests
"am". It appears the instant you tap, with no waiting and no spinner.

• Learns the words and word pairs you use, so your writing rises to the top.
• Add anything it doesn't know: finish a word and the suggestion bar offers to
  save it. Manage your list under Settings › My Words.
• Everything runs on your device. Nothing you type is sent anywhere, and no AI
  service is involved.

BUILT FOR VOICEOVER

• Choose how keys activate: Standard, Touch Typing, or Direct Touch.
• In Cluster Only Mode, swipe right to insert the top prediction and swipe up or
  down to hear the rest — the list wraps around.
• Verbose announcements can be turned off, so each tap speaks only the predicted
  word.

Also new: Parental Controls with a profanity filter, a reorganised Settings
screen, and a redesigned Home guide.

### 2025.5 — 2025-11-25

• New “Exit Keyboard” Button
Quickly close J-Key and exit typing mode, letting you return to your app’s full-screen experience instantly.

• Smarter Predictions & Completions
Improved next-word prediction and word completion make typing faster and more accurate.

• New Cluster-Only Mode
Simply enter the cluster—not the exact letter—and J-Key uses on-device AI and context clues to determine the word you’re aiming for. Faster, intuitive, and fully accessible.

• Snippet Commands
Introducing powerful new commands to speed up your workflow:
– Copy to clipboard
– Paste from clipboard
– AI-powered text correction
– AI-suggested emojis based on the tone of your message
