A keyboard designed for young kids who learn typing the first time. With typing common words on flashcards, kids can also learn spelling while typing. [Keyboard] Most keyboards are designed for adults, with which kids can easily mistakenly switch to other modes and get frustrated, not ideal for learning to type. Our baby keyboard is dedicated for kids, keeping the alphabet on the common keyboard and reducing most interruption during typing. Hints can also be shown on keyboard for the next character to type on flashcard, which makes it easy and fulfilling to learn typing. [Flashcard] We selected common words in daily basic vocabulary, invited professional artist to illustrate the pictures, and used the standard speech engine to read them out. By playing with the keyboard, kids can also leverage their visual and acoustic perception to learn the word spelling. [Settings] In the app launch page, tap the button at right-bottom to go the settings page.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Baby Keyboard at none against Type Flash's 1. Baby Keyboard also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 12 months). Type Flash's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 42). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Type Flash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Baby Keyboard asks for nothing beyond the download.
Type Flash holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Type Flash has 1.2K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Baby Keyboard's written reviews are positive against 74% of Type Flash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Baby Keyboard ships an update every 5 days, Type Flash every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
