Editor's Overview

BroadBoard is a keyboard & ime application developed by Anthony Benbrook, packaged as a single Android APK of version 2.0 weighing in at 3.8 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 3.8 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Anthony Benbrook" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

BroadBoard is an on-screen keyboard (IME) designed for people with low vision. Instead of shrinking keys to fit everything on the screen at once, BroadBoard keeps every key big and readable — you simply pan around the keyboard to reach the keys you need, so no key ever has to be small.

Features:

* Large, scrollable keyboard with oversized, high-contrast keys
* Multiple color themes, including extra dark and high-visibility options
* Adjustable keyboard sizes, up to extra large
* Optional haptic feedback
* Screen reader friendly
* Multiple locales and layouts supported

Privacy:

BroadBoard collects no data. It has no internet permission, no analytics, no ads, and no third-party components. Nothing you type ever leaves your device.

After installing, BroadBoard must be enabled and selected as your input method:

1. Go to **Settings → System → Languages & input → On-screen keyboard → Manage keyboards**
2. Enable **BroadBoard**
3. Switch to it via the keyboard picker (tap the keyboard icon in the navigation bar, or long-press the spacebar in most apps).

Alternatively, launching BroadBoard from the app tray provides guided links to the correct settings screen and keyboard picker

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BroadBoard free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does BroadBoard require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is BroadBoard safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Anthony Benbrook. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update BroadBoard?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
