About this app

IssieBoard is an accessible, fully customizable Android keyboard, developed by Beit Issie Shapiro Technology Consulting Center in collaboration with SAP Labs, Israel.
Designed for individuals with learning disabilities, visual impairments, motor impairments, or cognitive challenges - and for anyone learning to type - IssieBoard puts powerful personalization in the hands of caregivers, educators, and therapists.
Setup is quick and simple. After downloading IssieBoard, go to Settings > System > Keyboard > On-screen Keyboards and enable the IssieBoard keyboards you would like to use. Once enabled, IssieBoard is available in any app that uses the keyboard.
