Microsoft's new iOS keyboard goes out to anyone who's ever dropped an
iPhone in the toilet while trying to type with one hand (you know who
you are). Called Word Flow,
the new Windows Phone-esque keyboard lets you tap or swipe to type, and
it also includes customizable, arc-shaped keyboards for ergonomic
single-handed typing.
It's Microsoft's second iOS keyboard, coming in hot on the heels of the Hub keyboard
that dropped a few weeks ago. Word Flow is the flashier of the two,
with options for things like custom colors and photo backgrounds. The
true draw, though, is the Arc Mode feature. It bends the entire keyboard
into an elbow macaroni-shaped arc and relocates it to a single corner
of the screen, like a luxury corner desk for your hard-working thumb.
If simpler single-handed typing appeals to you, then you'll be happy to hear that Word Flow is a free download and available from Apple starting today.
