Senior typing support for Android
AgeTech Support • Seniors • Caregivers
RAFKeyboard helps make Android typing steadier, clearer, and less frustrating.
A senior-friendly Android keyboard designed to reduce missed taps, support shaky hands, and make everyday typing easier without collecting or transmitting what you type.
No Internet permission
RAFKeyboard is not designed to send typed text or calibration data online.
Typing stays local
Messages, searches, notes, passwords, and typed text are not collected by RAFTECH.ORG.
Built for real hands
Larger keys, calibration, haptics, sound, and high contrast support more forgiving typing.
Typing support
I made it home safely. I’ll call after dinner.
Small typing improvements can make daily communication feel calmer, especially when phone keys feel too cramped.
Typing is not a small thing when it is how families stay connected.
For many older adults, the phone keyboard is one of the first places technology starts to feel unforgiving. One wrong tap can turn a simple text into a chore. RAFKeyboard focuses on senior typing support so communication feels less like a test and more like a tool.
2
For shaky hands
Designed around steadier recognition, tap confirmation, calibration, and clearer feedback for people who need a more forgiving keyboard.
3
For caregivers and families
A practical option to try when a loved one can use a phone but struggles with tiny keyboard targets, missed taps, or typing frustration.
How RAFKeyboard fits RAFTECH.ORG
RAFTECH.ORG helps older adults, caregivers, and care professionals make technology clearer, calmer, and easier to trust. RAFKeyboard is part of that mission because typing is part of independence now.
Texting a caregiver, replying to a portal message, confirming an appointment, searching for an address, or sending a quick “I’m okay” message all depend on being able to type with confidence.
RAFTECH.ORG Reader helps people follow digital information. RAFKeyboard helps them respond to it.
Built for steadier typing, not speed-typing contests.
RAFKeyboard is designed for real everyday use: bigger targets, clearer feedback, and less punishment for shaky or uncertain taps.
Practical typing support
A 30-tap calibration wizard, hold-to-repeat Backspace, calibrated haptics and sound, high-contrast mode, and adjustable key size are all wired into the Settings screen so users can fine-tune the keyboard to match how they actually type.
Plain-language controls
The settings screen keeps the important choices visible: key size, contrast, confirmation mode, vibration, sound, smileys, and calibration.

RAFTECH.ORG RAFKeyboard Privacy Policy
A keyboard should help you type, not watch what you type. This policy explains what RAFKeyboard does, what it stores locally, and what it does not collect.
Overview
RAFTECH.ORG RAFKeyboard is an Android keyboard designed to make typing easier with larger keys, tap confirmation, optional feedback, smileys, hold-to-repeat Backspace, high-contrast mode, adjustable key size, and local tap calibration. Because this app is a keyboard, privacy is especially important.
RAFKeyboard is built to help improve typing accuracy while keeping typed words on the user’s device.
Typed text
RAFKeyboard does not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share the text you type. This includes letters, messages, searches, passwords, personal notes, names, phone numbers, private conversations, and other content entered through the keyboard.
When you tap a key, RAFKeyboard sends that character to the app you are already typing in through Android’s normal input method system. RAFTECH.ORG does not receive a copy of that text.
Information stored on your device
RAFKeyboard stores a small amount of local app data on your device so the keyboard can remember your preferences and calibration.
This may include:
- Keyboard settings such as key size, high contrast mode, sound, vibration, confirmation mode, and smile button visibility.
- Tap calibration information, such as per-key touch adjustment patterns used to improve accuracy.
- Settings connected to the 30-tap calibration wizard, hold-to-repeat Backspace, calibrated haptics and sound, and other keyboard behavior selected by the user.
This data is stored locally in Android app storage. It is not sent to RAFTECH.ORG.
No Internet access, analytics, or cloud typing
RAFKeyboard does not request Internet permission. The app does not include account sign-in, cloud sync, advertising, third-party analytics, remote tracking, AI text prediction services, or online typing analysis.
RAFKeyboard is not designed to send typed text, settings, calibration data, or keyboard activity to RAFTECH.ORG over the Internet.
Permissions
RAFKeyboard uses Android keyboard service access so it can appear as an on-screen keyboard.
Android may show a standard security warning when enabling any third-party keyboard. That warning is shown by Android for keyboard apps generally because keyboards can technically receive what a user types. RAFKeyboard is designed not to collect or transmit what you type.
The app requests vibration permission so it can provide optional haptic feedback when keys are pressed. This permission is used only for keyboard feedback.
Data sharing and selling
RAFTECH.ORG does not sell RAFKeyboard user data.
RAFKeyboard does not share typed text, calibration data, or settings data with advertisers, analytics companies, data brokers, AI providers, or other third parties.
Children’s privacy
RAFKeyboard is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. The app does not collect typed text or send app usage data to RAFTECH.ORG.
Security
RAFKeyboard is designed to keep its settings and calibration data local to your device. As with any mobile app, we recommend keeping Android and your installed apps updated to help protect your device.
Your choices
You can change RAFKeyboard settings at any time from the app’s settings screen. You can reset settings and calibration from the app, disable RAFKeyboard from Android keyboard settings, or uninstall the app to remove its local data from your device.
Changes to this policy
RAFTECH.ORG may update this policy if RAFKeyboard changes in a way that affects privacy, permissions, data handling, or app behavior. If this policy changes, the effective date at the top of the page will be updated.

If you have questions about RAFKeyboard or this privacy policy, contact RAFTECH.ORG through the contact information provided on raftech.org.
