Little Big Keyboard

About Little Big Keyboard Android App

The Little Big Keyboard is a virtual keyboard (an Android input method, IME) a user can install to replace the built in virtual keyboard.

Features:

- Made for small screens (or big finger): big buttons.

- Small screen space occupied. Height is only 3 key-rows.

- A fairly novel input technique: press key as normal for center letter or press and move away from key to select side letters.

- Letter placement optimized for a mix of English and Swedish language input but layout includes most Western Europe letters.

- Non-predictive. You always know what will happen when you press something.

- All letters repeat like a normal physical keyboard.

Drawbacks
~~~~~~~~~

- You need to practice to learn the placement of letters. Start with single letters and then increase to sequences of letters (words).

- The keyboard is quite experimental and might contain bugs. Use as is! Feel free to report problems (follow website link).
