Here’s the cleaned-up version: If typing on a keyboard tires you out, trips you up, or slows you down, Dys Keyboard is for you. WHO IT’S FOR Dys is built for people who struggle with keyboards — dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, attention difficulties, visual fatigue, or simply fingers that hesitate. No miracle cure. No medical claim. Just a keyboard that stops rushing you. WHAT CHANGES • Bigger, better-spaced, higher-contrast keys • Color-coded finger zones to retrain touch typing without looking • Fonts chosen to reduce confusion between b/d, p/q, and m/n • High-contrast themes for tired eyes • Autocorrect that suggests instead of overriding • Generous long-press timing: fewer mistypes, fewer backspaces • Gentle haptic feedback to confirm each tap • No tiny buttons you keep hitting by accident NO PRESSURE Set a daily word goal at your own pace. Track your progress without judgment. Every day you type on Dys counts — with seven streak milestones to unlock, from your first day to day 365. YOU STAY IN CONTROL • 11 layouts, including AZERTY, QWERTY, Dvorak, Colemak, and more • 6 signature themes, including High Contrast and Dark • Adjustable key size • Tunable haptics and sound, or none at all • Multi-language writing with fast switching • Custom text replacements for the words you always struggle with PRIVACY, SERIOUSLY Dys never reads what you type. No data leaves your device. No telemetry. No account. No cloud. Your hesitations are your own. ACCESSIBILITY VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and Reduce Motion are supported. WCAG AA contrast across every theme. Designed to be used with tired eyes, hesitant fingers, and on bad days. HOW TO ENABLE Go to: Settings › General › Keyboard › Keyboards › Add New Keyboard › Dys Keyboard Then long-press the globe key to switch. Designed in France, by and for people who had a hard time writing this text.
