ABOUT Bauer Keyboard

*** Please read the install section below before giving a negative review! ***

Bauer Keyboard: A simple replacement keyboard app for Android to facilitate text entry with proper capitalization and punctuation, especially for those whose fingers are too big to type accurately on tiny screens. *This is a genuinely free app with no tracking, no advertising, and no begging you to buy a "pro version".*

This is a very user friendly keyboard borne of frustration with the tiny keys on stock keyboards. Bauer Keyboard has larger buttons than the stock keyboard so it's easier to type accurately, even on small screens or with large fingers. Bauer Keyboard provides many more symbols and letters at once, eliminating the need to constantly switch keyboard modes. English, Latin1, Greek, Russian (beta), and Hindi (beta) layouts are available. If you need to type passwords or properly capitalized and punctuated text for business communication or command line entry, Bauer Keyboard will make your life easier. There is also now an "edit" mode that provides cut, copy, and paste functions.

INSTALLATION:

USAGE:Each keyboard button has nine glyphs. Tap the button for the letter or symbol in the center position. For other letters or symbols, simply put your finger on the center of the button and drag in the direction of the symbol from the center and release.
