Today’s quick tech tip….
My favorite alternate keyboard for Android
My fingers are fairly average in size, but I still have trouble using the default keyboard on my Android devices because the letters, numbers and other characters are so small.
It seems like every time I take a breath I end up tapping the wrong key character.
Long ago I made the decision to try using an alternate keyboard, and I’m so glad I did.
I tried a number of different Android-friendly keyboards and the one I liked best is SwiftKey.
You can give it a try yourself by opening the Google Play and searching for it by name.
