Hi everyone. I’m close to buying a Unihertz Jelly Star (this nugget here). One of the last things keeping me away from ordering is my concern with typing quality. (“Say what, on a three inch screen??”)
Normal qwery-keyboards won’t cut it, and thus I’m looking for recommendations on software keyboards for either tiny screens or super fat fingers. As I don’t love auto correct, are there any T9-like keyboards for Android (9 keys is quite few, but how about like half of the keys of a full size keyboard)? Also, is there a way to install WearOS (or whatever Google calls it this week) keyboards on a normal Android phone?
If you’ve got either very fat fingers or a tiny screen, hit me with the keyboard apps you’re using. Thanks a lot!
I use MessagEase keyboard. It's a has sizable learning curve. When I was learning I would only do crosswords. But now it's basically all I use on my phone in most situations. I would consider it quite close to T9
You should replace it with thumbkey, it's even made by the Lemmy devs!
Fuck. While you're right, I am not learning a new a layout. I imagine that I can customize the layout to be like mine. But I'm lazy.
I retract my recommendation though. OP, listen to this guy.
They have it in the settings it's the top option under layout, choose messagease.
I'm just a bit sour that I've been using an unmaintained keyboard, needlessly, for years.
Thumbkey is a pretty recent project, it's not that bad!
I very much appreciate the recommendation. Will try it soon. Theres some annoying stuff on MessagEase I hope they have fixed up
