Big Keys Keyboard helps you type with large keys, large text, and an accessible keypad on iPhone. It is built for low vision, seniors, and anyone who wants a clearer, calmer keyboard. Make your next message easier to write and easier to trust, starting now! Keys, text, and emojis — as big as you need This is the heart of Big Keys. Adjust key size to reduce mistaps and make each tap feel more accurate. Make the typing text larger so you can confirm words faster before you hit send. And if emojis look tiny, scale them up so your favorites are easier to see and select. Your keyboard can speak Turn on Speak and hear what you type, in the language of your keyboard. Big Keys can speak every key, every word, and every autocorrection, so silent changes never slip past you. Tap and hold a suggestion to hear it before you choose it, and deleted characters and words are spoken in a lower voice so you always know what changed. Choose the voice, speed, and volume. Speak works hand in hand with VoiceOver. Built for visibility Most keyboards assume perfect vision and tiny, precise taps. Big Keys Keyboard focuses on clarity with bigger letters, clearer spacing, and layouts that feel easier to follow so you can type with less strain. A calmer keyboard experience Some people find standard keyboards visually noisy or overwhelming. This keyboard aims to feel more predictable by keeping things clear and reducing unnecessary clutter, which may help support focused typing for users who prefer a calmer layout. Dedicated keypad Need to type digits fast? The built-in keypad is there for PINs and codes, but also for phone numbers, prices, and addresses. High contrast themes Choose a look that keeps the keyboard clear and readable. Bright light can wash things out, so stronger contrast often helps. At night, a calmer theme can feel better while the letters stay easy to see. Now speaks Japanese too Type Japanese on a full kana keyboard with big keys: flick input with a large, easy-to-see guide, multi-tap input with an adjustable tap window, a dedicated kaomoji key with over 150 text faces, and Japanese word suggestions. Language support If you type in more than one language, switching should not feel like work. Big Keys supports more than 25 languages, including the new Japanese kana keyboard. Switch with a simple hold on the space bar and keep your flow across messages, email, and search. Less retyping Gesture shortcuts can help you reach the keypad or special characters faster. If enabled, haptic feedback can make key presses feel more certain, and a last key indicator can make quick corrections easier. One keyboard, made for many Big Keys helps a wide range of people type more comfortably: people with low vision or tired eyes, seniors who want larger targets, anyone with tremors or less precise fingers, users with dyslexia or ADHD who prefer a calmer layout, and kids just learning to type.

One Big Keyboard is not a typical keyboard — it is a search tool that lives on your keyboard. It puts Google-style search operators one tap away, in any app, so you find exactly what you're looking for instead of scrolling past what you're not. THE PROBLEM Search engines are powerful, but only if you speak their language: site:, filetype:, intitle:, "exact match", -exclude. Almost nobody types these by hand — they're fiddly, easy to mistype, and hard to remember. THE FIX Tap a chip and the operator drops in, cursor already in place. No syntax to memorize, no colons to hunt for. Build a precise query in seconds, right where you're already typing. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • An operator chip row over a full QWERTY — the operators you use most, always one tap away • Swipeable operator pages: site targeting, file types, exact match, exclusions, and the full power set • Templates — save a reusable pattern like "site: [pick] filetype: [pick] [keywords]" and fill the blanks with taps • "Describe a search" — type plain English, get the right operator string, built entirely on-device • Saved searches, custom operators, and custom pages — make it yours OPERATORS BUILT IN • site: — search inside one website • filetype: — find PDFs, slides, spreadsheets • "exact phrase" — match words exactly • -exclude — drop results you don't want • intitle:, inurl:, OR, before:/after:, related:, and the rest MADE YOURS • Color themes — recolor the whole keyboard, or mix your own • Seven key-click sounds, from a classic tock to a mechanical click • Sync your operators, templates, and theme across devices through your own private iCloud PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads. No tracking. Nothing you type ever leaves your device — the keyboard has no networking code at all. Full Access is used only to save your own setup to your device. FREE FOREVER The keyboard and its core operators are free, always. One-time Pro unlocks custom operators, templates, saved searches, color themes, extra sounds, and iCloud sync. Works with Google and any search engine that supports operators like site: and filetype:. Turn your keyboard into a search tool. Find what you're actually looking for.
