Change the font size
The first, and perhaps most obvious, way to enlarge keyboard characters is to the font size. Most smartphones and tablets allow you to adjust the font size in the settings menu. Depending on your device, you may have to go to ‘Display’ or ‘Accessibility’ settings to find this option. Once you have found the ‘Font size’ option, you can increase the size of the text until it is comfortable for you to read.
Use the magnifier feature
Another option is to use the magnifier feature built into some devices. This feature allows you to zoom in on specific areas of the screen, making it easier to read small text. To use the magnifier, go to your device’s ‘Accessibility’ settings and turn on the magnifier feature. Once it’s turned on, you can use the magnifier by triple-tapping the screen with three fingers. You can then move the magnifier around the screen to enlarge keyboard characters or any other small text.
Install a custom keyboard
If you find that the default keyboard on your device does not have an option to enlarge characters, you can install a custom keyboard that offers this feature. Many third-party keyboard apps allow you to adjust the font size of the keyboard, making it easier to see the characters. Some popular options include SwiftKey, Gboard, and Fleksy. To install a new keyboard, go to your device’s app store and search for ‘custom keyboard,’ then choose one of the options that have the font size adjustment in the settings.
Use accessibility settings
Nowadays, most devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers come with accessibility settings aimed to help people with disabilities or limitations. One of these options is the ability to enlarge the entire screen, which includes the keyboard characters. To enable this feature, go to the ‘Accessibility’ settings, look for ‘Display and Text size’ options and select the ‘Zoom’ function. You can zoom the entire screen and adjust it according to your preferences.
Use a third-party app for reading
If none of the above solutions work for your specific needs, consider downloading an app that is designed for reading on a screen, such as Kindle or iBooks. These apps allow you to adjust the font size, color, and background of the text to make it easier to read. This can also be useful if you spend a lot of time reading ebooks or other text-based content on your device.
In conclusion, if you are struggling to read small keyboard characters on your device, don’t worry, there are several ways to enlarge the text. From adjusting the font size in the settings menu to using a custom keyboard app, accessibility settings or third-party reading apps, there is an option for every need, and it certainly makes life easier. By taking the time to make the necessary adjustments to your device, you can make sure that you can use it comfortably and without any strain on your eyes.
