Keys too small to hit? jKey replaces the tiny QWERTY grid with a few giant, high-contrast buttons. Tap a group, then your letterβ€”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 β€’ 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. β€’ Cluster Only Mode skips choosing letters altogether: tap one group per letter and jKey offers the words that fit. Tap the one you meant. β€’ 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 β€’ Four high-contrast themes, including yellow on black and black on yellow β€’ Four text sizes, from Small to Extra Large β€’ Big keys that suit tremor, limited dexterity and one-handed typing MADE FOR VOICEOVER β€’ Every key is clearly labelled β€’ Choose how keys respond: Standard, Touch Typing, or Direct Touch, where a single tap types β€’ A guided, VoiceOver-friendly setup turns jKey on and lets you practice right in the app SAVE TYPING β€’ Snippets type your name, email address or a common reply in one tap β€’ My Words teaches jKey names and words it should suggest β€’ 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.

About

Accessibility Keyboard

Features
Read full description

Accessibility Keyboard is a customizable iPhone and iPad keyboard designed for people who want a clearer, easier typing experience. Choose from accessibility-focused profiles such as Low Vision, Dyslexia Friendly, Motor Assist, Calm Focus, and Child ABC. Each profile adjusts layout, theme, key size, spacing, haptics, and typing behavior so the keyboard can better match the way you type. You can also fine-tune the keyboard manually with high-contrast themes, dark and light modes, larger keys, optional borders, alphabetical and simplified layouts, auto-capitalization, double-space periods, key popups, and delete repeat speed. The keyboard is privacy-first. Full Access is used so local profile, layout, and sizing preferences can be shared between the app and keyboard extension. Typed content is not sent to a server by this app.
