aaronTapType v3.0 is out! This release includes two of the most requested features.
French language support: Full AZERTY layout with a 50,000 word dictionary and all announcements translated.
Traditional keyboard mode: A new way to use TapType without swiping. Every tap types a character immediately. Visible buttons for space, delete, enter, shift, numbers, and emoji are built into the keyboard surface. Word predictions appear at the top, tap one to accept it. Hold and drag to explore keys with no delay. Two-finger tap opens the mode selector through the prediction bar. Enable it in Settings, Keyboard, Traditional keyboard.
The traditional mode still uses the same spatial layout under the hood, so your muscle memory carries over. It just removes the need to learn swipe gestures before you can start typing.
Also new in v3.0: delete by character setting. Up-down swipe gesture for newline. Emoji favourites now use up-down swipe instead of long press. Bug fixes for foldable device passthrough, word deletion after cursor movement, and repeated character announcements. The entire app is fully localized in English, German, Spanish, and French.

TapType is a free Android keyboard for blind users. No visible keys, you tap where QWERTY keys would be from muscle memory, and a spatial algorithm predicts the intended word. Fully accessible with TalkBack.
