Do you want a bigger keyboard? With the smart highlighted next key hints and fuzzy input? And full Emoji supported? Try out this Biggest keyboard in the App Store!

** Biggest Keyboard in the App Store
Keys are 37% bigger than the system keyboard. It is good for people who have big thumbs. Also people who want to preserve their vision will benefit from this keyboard.

** Fuzzy input
If you use the Apples system keyboard to input "determination", you wont see it in the suggestion list until typing "determina". With the highlighted keyboard, you can just type "dtmnn" to have it show in the suggestion bar.

Another example is that once I wanted to input "anthropology" but I forgot the spelling, all I remembered was it started with "an" something and ended with "logy", I then typed “anlg” in the Highlighted keyboard and I saw “anthropology” in the suggestion list.

** Highlighted next possible keys
After you type one key the keyboard will smartly highlights the possible next keys that you want to input. Also it has the suggestions that you can select from the top of the keyboard.

** Latin letters supported
You can type the latin letters directly from the keyboard. You can also type "£" & "€" as well.

** Emoji translation
Translate the word that you select in the suggestion bar into Emoji characters. It is a fun way to communicate with your friends and family. It is disabled by default and you need to use the "Keyboard Setting" page to enable this feature.

** Slide to move the input cursor
Sliding from the Space key to left/right to move the current input cursor to left or right. Sliding up to move the current cursor to the beginning of the sentence and sliding down to move the current cursor to the end of the sentence. It makes your life much easier when editing text on the iPhone/iPad.

Latest reviews of Highlighted Large Keyboard app for iPhone and iPad

Bad
Extyrmekky diggicult to use. You changed positiin of letters L and P !!. I am using this cheat of keyboard to write
Excellent!
I am typing on it now and it is an excellent product and works exactly as described. The key highlighting is very helpful to me and CERTAINLY not seizure inducing. Gliding up from a key for punctuation is clever and easy. It is good ergonomics to stay on the same keyboard most of the time. My hand - eye coordination has weakened with age and this app eliminates many frustrating typing errors. Keep up the good work.
Great, but accents missing...
It would be great to add the accents with a long press...
Almost there but not.
This keyboard could be perfect except it uses fixed size keys. It puts the "P" on the bottom row instead next to the "O". This totally throws you off and makes letter entry unusable. The implentation of entering special char, and numbers is near perfect. What makes any custom keyboard work best is placement of keys in the same hit position as the standard apple keyboard. Do that and you have the perfect keyboard replacement.
Not Bad
The "p" button isnt where it should be. At least the keyboard landscapes which makes it kinda tolerable. I want a different shade of gray, seriously to dark for me. I give this a 2.9 out of 5, but a 3 it is. Key sliding is a breeze
