Abstract

I gave myself the challenge to design a keyboard layout that could possibly break the keyboard lock-in. By using the design strategy of applying innovation adoption theory, neurodesign and my personal experience of being a dyslexic I was able to design a: visually grouped, symbolic, dyslexic and low-literate friendly keyboard layout innovation. The resulting design is called TailType in which the letters with a similar 'tail-shape' are grouped together. If you are curious to try TailType out you can soon find it in the App and Play store, as the development of TailType was powered by the Startup Voucher.
