I have just switched to iOS. I am looking for an accessible dvorak keyboard. iOS does not appear to have dvorak as an option unfortunately. Can anyone help?
I do not know of a software option, but if you have a hardware bluetooth keyboard you can select in the keyboard settings the Dvorak keybaord when using a bluetooth keyboard, even if that keyboard is a QWERTY set up, it will remap it all.
I use this myself, but as far as I know there is no software Dvorak keyboard. Though I'll look around for one.
I am actually looking for an on-screen option, but thanks for the help anyway. I was excited when I found Google keyboard on the appstore, and found it to be accessible enough... however for whatever reason, Google did not include Dvorak as an option... or if they did, I can't find that option even though they say that it includes different languages. I have not found the settings for that.
I see several dvorak keyboards listed in the app store.
No doubt I am missing something here.
one is called " dvorak keyboard layout " by Aspyre solutions for 99 cents.
Install the Dvorak Keyboard on your device for faster typing across all your apps. Features a pixel perfect design that works in both portrait and landscape, the Dvorak Keyboard will let you type in any app using the layout you like most.
Features:
* Works great in portrait and landscape
* Covers all device sizes, even new ones!
* Full Dvorak keyboard layout
* Punctuation and numbers available at the touch of a button
No feedback is given about entered or deleted characters, though if you check the edit box it does the edits. However, this isn't viable, so I requested a refund.
I've never played with any but a qwrty, and I've always been curious what makes people prefer this one over qwrty. I know qwerty was originally designed to slow people down on typewriters, but is the alternative really that must caster?
I find it a bit faster... at the very least, it isn't slower, and feels more comfortable because the most commonly used letters and symbols aren't as far away from home row... I don't think the same can be said when typing on mobile, but I still prefer it and it is what I am used to now.
Also, thanks for the suggestions about dvorak keyboards... I tried a free one, however it was not accessible. I saw a bunch of paid ones, but I am not really looking to buy a bunch of keyboards in the hopes that I find a good one unless I have to... hence me reaching out to see if anyone had any experiences with any of them.

Why Dvorak
I've never played with any but a qwrty, and I've always been curious what makes people prefer this one over qwrty. I know qwerty was originally designed to slow people down on typewriters, but is the alternative really that must caster?
