Typing
I developed this keyboard as a mother’s day gift for my grandmother. She recently got her first iPad. She loves it. It allows her to keep in touch with all her grandchildren. However, she has never seen a QWERTY keyboard in her life. For her, typing on it is as painful as trying to write your name by fishing out all the needed letters from an alphabet soup. With this keyboard she now sends frequent text messages and typing has become much easier.
Keedogo Plus is an iPad keyboard designed for children and young students who just started to read, write and type. The keyboard provides a simplified layout with just the essential keys so early writers can focus on developing their skills rather than being distracted by symbols and functions they donāt yet need.
JUST SEVEN KEYS INSTEAD OF 30+
The unique design of SuperKeys gives you just 7 clusters to target instead of over 30 small keys! Just tap the cluster containing the letter you want, then tap the letter in the enlarged cluster. Thereās no double-tapping, no essential swiping, and no learning required.
