This is a Korean and US patented watch keyboard app that overcomes the size limit of a watch keyboard by using the entire watch screen as an input keyboard. The largest display window in the center of the watch serves as a multi-functional character input keyboard that not only shows the entered characters, but also allows text input and typo correction. The keyboard is arranged in alphabetical order, so it is easy for children or foreigners who are not familiar with QWERTY keyboards to use.

The character display window in the center of the watch serves as the largest keyboard for character input and modification, and the outer main keyboard has five representative vowels ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘i’, ‘o’, ‘u’, which are the most frequently used alphabets, number keys, backspace key, and earth-shaped conversion key. Between each vowel, consonants are hidden in alphabetical order. The consonants located between the two vowel keys are displayed on the two vowel boundaries, which helps to predict the hidden consonant positions of each representative vowel group, and after entering the representative vowel next to the displayed consonant, press and release it for a long time the character display window to modify the input in reverse order of the dictionary to make it easier to enter the corresponding displayed consonant.
