Moogoose
No small keys
Speaking replaces most of the typing. Moogoose has large buttons, so there are fewer small keys to hit.
Older adults
AI voice keyboard for older adults and seniors: just say what you want to write.
Moogoose is an easy AI voice keyboard for Android for older adults and seniors, and for anyone helping an elderly parent with their phone. Small keys, small text and less steady hands can make messages on a phone slow and frustrating. Moogoose lets you say what you want to write in your own words. It types the message for you and then tells you, in a few spoken words, what it says. Nothing is sent until you choose to send it.

AI writing assistance
How AI helps you write
You do not need to learn special commands. Talk to Moogoose as you would to a person, such as “tell my grandson happy birthday and that I’ll ring him on Sunday”, and it writes the message. You can ask it to change anything.
Everyday example
What this could look like
Situation

You say
“Tell him happy birthday, I hope he has a lovely day, and I’ll ring him on Sunday.”
Moogoose helps
A cheerful birthday message appears, ready to go. Moogoose tells you what it says, and you press Send when you are happy.

You stay in control
Nothing is sent until you press Send. You can change the message, ask for a new one, or delete it.
