iPhone Keyboards

Just a quick note to share...

I love all the iPhone keyboards!!!

Since I’ve been spending more time on genealogy and using my phone to help in my research, the ability to type names of people and places properly on a computer and on a mobile device has become crucial. At this point in time, I have added 4 extra languages for ease on my iPhone. As I go further in my research, I’m sure I will add more. Some are for fun, like the Greek, Icelandic, and Norwegian languages, but this morning I added French because of all the time I’m spending on my BERTHOULIER line.

With names like François BERTHOULIER and Montigney-lès-Cherlieu, quickly accessing the non-English letters is important. The letter variants are typically available on the English keyboard, but when you switch to the appropriate keyboard, spellcheck enacts and words that would have been flagged as misspelled in English are no longer flagged. I don’t know about you, but I really detest seeing all those red squiggly or dotted underlines. I still get them when a surname is all caps, but that’s the nature of the genealogical beast. Lol
