Alternative Keyboards

Apple offers the ability to change the onscreen Apple keyboard to an onscreen keyboard from a third-party provider, typically downloaded from the App store as an app. Once the app has been downloaded, the keyboard needs to be chosen in Settings before it will be functional. Follow the links below for instructions on installing, activating and using some of these third-party keyboards. Please note that some of the features of these keyboards will not work with VoiceOver as well as the native onscreen Apple keyboard.
