Description
Who needs the old T9 keyboard do you say? The T9 keypad is still relevant for smartphones with small screens. Typing on a T9 keyboard is fast and more accurate because of the large buttons and 9 simple grids. Long time users of the old T9 keyboard can still type out an SMS with their eyes closed. You can also type with just one hand, can you say that of a full keyboard? People with large fingers will find the Old T9 keyboard, a God send. The large keyboard layout and big buttons on the old keyboard makes typing easy for people with big fingers.
The Old T9 keyboard also features a predictive word suggestions or predictive text, just like on the old feature phones, so typing is fast and takes lesser clicks. The Old keyboard also learns new words that you type and are not part of the original dictionary and provides the word as suggestion the next time you hit the same sequence of keys.

Keyboard for Seniors
=================
The old t9 keyboard, is also a great keyboard for seniors, because with its alphabetical layout instead of QWERTY, it is the easiest keyboard for seniors to learn. Each key holds three characters and hence it is much easier keyboard for seniors to type on. Many seniors, would have used the t9 keyboard before they migrated to a smartphone, so it offers seniors a seamless transition to a smartphone, with the same great 3x4 keyboard seniors typed on before.
Since each key is much wider occupying almost 1/3rd of the screen, it is the best keyboard for seniors to type on with minimal errors. With keyboard resizing in Settings, the height of the keyboard for seniors can be resized to suit each seniors' preferences.
With the clipboard, voice input and emojis thoughtfully placed at the top of the screen for ease of access, it is the best keyboard for seniors.
The keys are big but the fonts are not embarrassingly huge to suggest all seniors are visually impaired and hence it is a more thoughtful layout and keyboard for seniors.
