About this app

Who needs the old T9 keyboard do you say? The T9 keypad is still relevant for smartphones with small screens. Typing on a T9 keyboard is fast and more accurate because of the large buttons and 9 simple grids. Long time users of the old T9 keyboard can still type out an SMS with their eyes closed. You can also type with just one hand, can you say that of a full keyboard? People with large fingers will find the Old T9 keyboard, a God send. The large keyboard layout and big buttons on the old keyboard makes typing easy for people with big fingers.

The Old T9 keyboard also features a predictive word suggestions or predictive text, just like on the old feature phones, so typing is fast and takes lesser clicks. The Old keyboard also learns new words that you type and are not part of the original dictionary and provides the word as suggestion the next time you hit the same sequence of keys.

You also get a full fledged emoji keyboard with hundreds of emojis on the Old T9 keyboard.

With the old keyboard, you also get 'Voice input' using the inbuilt voice assistant on the device.

We have also added recently many keyboard themes in the old keyboard so that you can choose a look that suits your device.

The old keyboard features a full fledged symbols layout so that your can type any symbol you want easily.

The old keyboard also features a clipboard paste key, to paste from clipboard with just a key press.

Keyboard for Seniors
=================
The old t9 keyboard, is also a great keyboard for seniors, because with its alphabetical layout instead of QWERTY, it is the easiest keyboard for seniors to learn. Each key holds three characters and hence it is much easier keyboard for seniors to type on. Many seniors, would have used the t9 keyboard before they migrated to a smartphone, so it offers seniors a seamless transition to a smartphone, with the same great 3x4 keyboard seniors typed on before.

Since each key is much wider occupying almost 1/3rd of the screen, it is the best keyboard for seniors to type on with minimal errors. With keyboard resizing in Settings, the height of the keyboard for seniors can be resized to suit each seniors' preferences.

With the clipboard, voice input and emojis thoughtfully placed at the top of the screen for ease of access, it is the best keyboard for seniors.

The keys are big but the fonts are not embarrassingly huge to suggest all seniors are visually impaired and hence it is a more thoughtful layout and keyboard for seniors.

Very good keyboard for devices with a nine number numpad. However I am rating low because there seems to be a crucial flaw within Google Chat where the backspace buttons, both physical and on screen, will not delete characters. I will increase my review once this issue is resolved. Edit: Custom mapping has not been touched. Backspacing is only affected in Google Chat, and only after a character is set. Pressing the key for Clear immediately after any other key WILL delete, but only then.

Hi. I couldn't reproduce the issue on my CAT S22 FLIP. Have you tried the remapping option and mapped the backspace key by accident?

Best T9 option I've found for CAT S22 flip. One thing's been missed in all of the add-on T9 keyboards that I've tried is a feature that was part of old school T9 phones - adding an apostrophe for conjunctions by double-tapping the last letter of a word. For example, "can't" could be typed by hitting "2-2-6-8-8" and the apostrophe would be added automatically. Mentioning this here because the developer seems to be extremely responsive to other suggestions.

Thanks for the 5 star rating. That's an interesting feature you mention. Currently you can type "can't" by hitting 22618. Do you still prefer 22688? You can mail me at rajesh@meditaide.com

This keyboard is exactly what I need, I can type easily with very few complications. however there is one really important feature that this app is lacking, and would be very benifital to many users. What this app is missing is a QWERTY keyboard option and to be able to switch from T9 to QWERTY with just a tap on the screen or a button . If that does become a feature I would strongly consider buying the premium version. Please consider my suggestion. thank you!

This feature is already there. Please just swipe up on the keyboard to access a QWERTY keyboard. Swipe up again to switch back to T9.
