“We’ve been waiting for something like this ever since the iPad came out”

KidKeys is the most kid-friendly keyboard on the planet. It has the unique ability to speak the letters as the student is typing and then, the keyboard can pronounce the word. WOW...KidKeys is not just a keyboard, its a unique literacy tool that will have your child spelling and writing sentences like a champion in no time.

Our special design enables your child to input words faster and easier. The keyboard learns the way your child types, through analysing typing style, then suggests key words to use for sentences.

Use it for general input of data or as a tool for literacy, spelling and predictive word and idea generator for sentence construction.

KidKeys is jam packed with features to make typing easier for small hands.

KidKeys uses super-accurate word prediction technology, including the top 5000 words, sourced from the most accessed educational word lists in the world. KidKeys helps your child practise and master these important word lists, maximising literacy success. The innovative prediction technology also helps the student by reducing keystrokes and typing fatigue, common in young children.

Kids can choose a whole word with a single tap, instead of typing letter by letter. KidKeys word selection is an incredible feature, especially when your student is on a short deadline or just sick of typing.

KidKeys has a beautiful design and an intuitive interface making it the world’s best keyboard for kids. It makes use of dynamic yellow keys and black font, becoming a visual aid for children with learning difficulties. KidKeys has been created to support your child and help them get the most out of their device.

It’s fun and intuitive, allowing students to engage with a task easily, rather than struggling silently with the typing learning curve.

“Anything that makes homework less stressful is meant for me and my family.”
