Need bigger font, not bigger buttons
Keyboard would be much more usable if you could make the font on keyboard bigger without making the buttons bigger. Your button fonts could be 50% bigger without increasing button size and they would be much easier to read. You are wasting a bunch of space on your keyboard that is nearly useless. Just add a setting for font size to change the size of the characters without changing button size.
Agreed!!!
Agreed. Massively needed! I asked the same question here this week. Today I found several same questions here, some dating back 4 years. Not one with a response from SwiftKey as far as I can tell. Looks like they're not bothered. I just read Gboard might have larger button font so will likely abandon SwiftKey if it does
Hi Flow bench, the feature to increase the font is currently not available, you can resize your keyboard to have bigger keys at this moment. Please share all ideas and feedback here https://aka.ms/sk-support so we can pass it on to the right team. Thank you.
Who in Microsoft to change a perfect feature to show off his lunacy? Somebody has shrunk the font size. Change it immediately or i change you. Its that simple
Hi Jaideep Chatterjee we ask you to please refrain from adding condescending comments.
Can you please let me know with which language you are experiencing the font size issue?
I fully agree with Jaideep.
I need to put my glasses on just to use SwiftKey.
I do not have problems finding the keys, but the labels are microscopic and there is plenty of unused real state.
This, Denis, is a complete insult to users with even slight visual impairments.
Your comment, Denis, is out of place when we are dealing with a serious design flaw that might push thousands of users to look for alternative solutions.
Have the designers of SwiftKey never heard of accessibility issues?
Hi Jess Pearache, thanks for your feedback. I'll pass this on for further evaluation. Can you please confirm your enabled language(s)?
2 years later and swiftkey still doesnt have the option of changing the font.
Switched over from gboard for the clipboard syncing feature and yet the OOBE of swiftkey is nowhere near gboard.
1) the default theme looks so ancient
2) the font is too small
Hi Aiden Aiden, thanks for your feedback. While we can't action every individual idea, customer feedback helps us to guide the decisions we make around your keyboard.
Also, if you would like to, then please submit feature requests by going to https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. This is so we can keep track of requests over time & update you on any progress.
Really??? It is unreadable to anybody who wears reading glasses without putting their glasses on every time. What's that.... like 20% of your whole customer base? And that's not enough to get a change put through? This is why Windows phones never took off. Microsoft doesn't care about making things "usable".
