​​​~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

​The purpose of developing SummaGram was to create multiple keyboards by placing characters on the keys you choose. Store them in app storage, cloud storage or attach them via email to share with other SummaGram users.  You can also receive keyboards and add them to your application directory.  Use them in the app to compose, edit and save messages. 

​

FEATURES: 

 

Designed a new keyboard by associating punctuation with alpha and number formats for ease of use.

 

Replaced two character keys with single character keys, except four monetary symbols for ease of use.

 

The zero key has an upper case 0 with a slash. 

 

All character keys are repetitive from slow to fast. Also Tab, Delete and Cursor keys repeat.

 

Any key value can be changed or deleted except edit keys.

Spaces are blocked, press anywhere to get a space. 

​

Suggested Country keyboards appear when selecting a   country button during CREATE.

A new concept is to have multiple toggle keyboards available instantly when composing with a touch of a button.  Twelve keyboards can be assigned to twelve buttons T1-T12 and access them in Compose mode.  You can toggle between keyboards of countries, extended languages,  phrases, emojis, arts and sciences that you have created.

Create an extended keyboard for your  language provided in the app.  I suggest most used characters on the default keyboard and lesser characters on a toggle keyboard.  

To enhance messages, paste into another application like Notes or Pages to change the font and size, attach it to an email, paste into an app for texting and translate into another language. 

For backup, use the Apple Files app to store your keyboards and text messages  to  the cloud, to a flash drive or attached hard drive.
 
The keyboard layout design was created to establish the most efficient way to associate alphabetic and numeric keys with their associated punctuation keys. I call it a cluster design. 
 
The  keyboards locate text editing keys in their common keyboard position with some new ones. Standard alphabetic character key positions are in their common locations. The number keys have a calculator design. There are a few that have double characters, money symbols and numeric zero with slash zero. 
​
Arrow keys are for cursor positioning.  Don't touch the screen to reposition the cursor, use the app arrows.  If you want to use IOS commands, place the cursor at the text start.

​

Spaces are clustered in a block for easy access without precision.  Touch anywhere in the block and you get a space.
 
There are open ? keys to place characters, emojis, phrases and sentences. Any key with 2 characters becomes lower and upper case. 

Within the app, there is detailed documentation in 26 languages. When you select a country, the documentation and a keyboard layout appears .  The indexed documentation explains how to create the keyboard.

The Elements section has full documentation in English. It can be copied, pasted into a word processor for editing and printing or translated.  

​SummaGram is a culmination of keyboard designs with the abilities to change keyboards and  key values as needed.
