ERICK is an accessibility-first keyboard for Android and iOS. Instead of asking the user to tap rows of tiny keys, it uses two large directional controls. Move the left and right controls together and ERICK turns that pair of directions into a letter, number, symbol, or command.
Touch-based directional typing
Controller-based typing
Alternative input without tiny keys
ERICK is built first for people who struggle with standard touch keyboards, but it can help many more users too.
Large touch targets and controller support can help users with limited dexterity, tremors, repetitive strain injuries, or difficulty reaching rows of small keys.
A predictable A-Z layout, dyslexia-friendly fonts, and simplified input can reduce cognitive load for users who find standard keyboards overwhelming.
Fewer mistaps on small screens, controller-based typing for TVs and consoles, and fully offline privacy make ERICK useful for anyone.
ERICK keeps the interaction simple: choose a group, choose a character, type.
Swipe the left dial in a direction to select a character group (e.g., A–E, F–J).
Swipe the right dial to select the specific character within that group.
Both directions combine into a chord - the character appears instantly and word predictions update in real time.
Built from the ground up for accessibility, speed, and privacy.
Two radial dials combine to form character chords. Every character requires equal effort - no more reaching for tiny keys.
Choose from Logical (A–Z), Efficiency (frequency-optimized), or create your own custom layout.
Always-on suggestions with autocorrect, next-word predictions, and smart space insertion - all offline, no data sent anywhere.
Plug in a physical gaming controller and use its analog sticks for text input - great for consoles, TVs, and couch setups.
Colorblind palettes, left-handed mode, dyslexia-friendly fonts, one-handed typing, and large touch targets for motor accessibility.
Follow your system preference automatically, or set light/dark mode manually in settings.
Quick Type for speed, Steady Type for precision, and One-Handed mode that locks a direction so you can type with a single thumb.
Built-in typing game with curated quotes to help you learn chord combinations at your own pace.
Zero data collection, no internet permissions, fully offline. Source available so you can verify every line.
