Note on application

How to write?

The keyboard is optimised for writing with both thumbs. The writing style was copied from today's youth, who intuitively do it this way. The size of your fingers does not matter with this style. Your brain automatically learns where the keys are after about 30 learning units. Other writing styles are possible.

 

Instructions:

Hold both palms upwards. Bring your hands together until your little fingers touch at the sides. Place the smartphone in your hand with the screen facing upwards. The charging socket must be aligned against the heel of your hand. Place your thumbs on the keyboard. You can now start typing.
