iOS large font keyboard? (self.Blind)
submitted by Trick-Regret-493
the phone can’t make them large enough.

What phone do you have? I got the 12 pro max and the keyboard text is bigger than any other iPhone I’ve seen. I personally can’t see it anymore but I know where all the keys are from memory. It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the keyboard layout and type that way. You should also try using direct touch typing with VoiceOver. It’ll let you type as fast as you want and read out the letters you press.

I don’t know if any phone android or iPhone that offers a large print keyboard. There’s just not enough space for the keys to fit on the screen.

On Android you can switch the keyboard to landscape last I knew but have not checked in a bit.

I completely forgot about landscape typing. I haven’t used an android in a while but I don’t remember the letters getting that much bigger. The buttons did get bigger though so if you know the keyboard layout it made it way easier to type.

Yeah, I use Braille Screen Input myself.

So the question is "Is there a larger font koyboard for iOS?" Not sure myself but you could always use the Braille Screen Input koyboard.

Yeah on screen keyboards are a pain, I learned braille just by experimenting with the braille keyboard lol, have not used anything else since.
Trick-Regret-493 [OP] 2 points 1y ago

DHamlinMusic 2 points 1y ago
Yes and no lol, my screen isn’t even on tbh, but yeah you use the screen to type.

I feel you there my typing on my phone sucks because I can’t see what keys I’m hitting and my autocorrect gets confused by it
