Hebrew Keyboard

The “Hebrew keyboard” is a special board that comes built into the app, found on the home screen under “Special boards”. Instead of word tiles it has letter tiles, laid out like a standard Hebrew keyboard — so users who know how to spell can say any word, even one that has no tile on any board.

Free typing

1. Tap letters — each letter joins the word being built on the reading line.
2. The space key ends a word; a blinking cursor on the line signals that the next letter will start a new word.
3. The delete button on the reading line deletes one letter per tap, and the clear button starts over.
4. When the sentence is ready — tapping the play button reads it out in full.

A single letter in the reading line is read by its sound, not its name — „ל" is heard as „לֶ" ("le"), not „למד" ("lamed"). Details, and how to change it with nikud, on the text and nikud page.

Reaching it from any board

You can get to the keyboard without going back to the home screen: a tile with the “Open the keyboard” action jumps straight to it from any board — handy when most of the conversation happens on a word board and only occasionally something needs to be spelled out. How to set up such a tile — on the Tile actions page. The words already chosen stay on the reading line, and typing picks up where you left off — on a new word.
