Qwertyfree Releases Revolutionary Touchscreen Keyboard for the Visually

Impaired

5-Key™ Light, the “No-Cost” Version of the Amazing “No-Look” Keyboard, 5-Key™ Shift is Now
Available in the App Store.

Thousand Oaks, CA, March 29, 2018 --(PR.com)-- As National Disability Awareness Month comes to
an end, startup Qwertyfree presents their “try before you buy” custom keyboard extension for the iPhone
and iPad that uses short slide gestures to type. With no buttons to push, users can literally type anywhere
on the keyboard by feel alone with accurate and reproducible results. Letters, numbers, punctuation, and
the complete character set are now a simple slide away. “We had our share of challenges designing a
full-feature keyboard for anyone to use, including people with visual impairments,” says Founder & CEO
Peter Tooch, “But we nailed it! Anyone wanting to type without looking will definitely want to learn
more about 5-Key™.”

5-Key™ Light is a free download on the App Store and is a limited version of 5-Key™ Shift (also on the
App Store, introductory price of $4.99). 5-Key™ is the first “no-look” touchscreen keyboard to make
typing on mobile devices fun, fast and intuitive. The alphabetical layout makes memorizing the keyboard
much easier than learning the traditional “qwerty” keyboard. And the layout for numbers and characters is
so logical that mastering dozens of gestures is much easier than one might expect. 5-Key™ Light also
contains standard functionality including case, cursor, and menu controls that are easy to master. This
innovative keyboard features visual and audio feedback designed to ease the learning curve for beginners
and to be a reassuring aid for proficient users. And the unique haptic feedback built into every gesture
makes 5-Key™ the premier touchscreen keyboard for low vision and blind typists.

5-Key™ represents a paradigm shift in mobile computing and has received a large amount of interest
throughout various industries. “We've been approached by major players in the fields of public transit,
aerospace, VR/AR, automotive, and education,” says Tooch, “While our short-term plans are to keep
improving on our keyboard to make it even easier and faster for anyone to type without looking, we
recognize the greater implications in many other areas and look forward to working with others via our
Retouch with 5-Key™ partnership program.”

Requirements: iOS 10.2 or later.
