Welcome to Minuum, the little keyboard for big fingers!
Minuum Keyboardplay.google.com.minuumkeyboardMinuum is a tiny, one-dimensional keyboard that frees up your screen space while allowing you to type fast and accurately. Type quickly without worrying about being precise, thanks to smart auto-correction.
SIMPLIFIED TOUCHSCREEN TYPINGMost existing keyboards take an approach similar to cramming a full typewriter into a touchscreen device. This gives us keyboards that cover up half the usable touchscreen space (or more), obstructing your content. Minuum gives you back your screen space by reducing the standard keyboard to a single dimension.
HOW MINUUM WORKS IN PRACTICEMinuum re-imagines the keyboard by minimizing a standard layout into a single line, letting you type quickly and accurately without needing large keys. This minimalism is enabled by a specialized auto-correction algorithm that allows highly imprecise typing. These algorithms interpret, in real time, the difference between what you type and what you mean, getting it right even if you miss every single letter.
DISCOVER MOREThe Minuum linear keyboard for touchscreens is just the first step toward a “type anywhere” future. Minuum will let you type on wearable devices like smart watches, game controllers, and more devices of minimum size. By supporting this app, you help to enable that vision.
