Universal Math Keyboard
The Power of Typing Math Simply
The ArithmeType keyboards, app, and website are here to help to simplify the process of typing math. The hardware keyboard conveniently locates the numbers, operations, common math letters and symbols in one plug-and-play device that works alongside your own computer. The output of math is therefore more fluid compared to a standard QWERTY keyboard. Our iOS keyboard replicates the hardware keyboard. It makes keys easy to find by using popups to avoid confusing screen changes. In addition, free math formatting pages help with the proper alignment necessary to show mathematics work, and graphing, which can be difficult to do on a blank document. The new Homework Editor allows homework photo uploads and users can type perfect math on them. At ArithmeType, our goal is to give students of all abilities the power of typing math simply.

The Power of Typing Math Simply
The true perfect embodiment of integral math outputs sits awaiting
the near effortless motion of my really simple finger presses that do
Exactly what they are all meant to, even without the worry of recall of
A forgotten shift, alt, control, or some code that I may have
Tripped up on for the hundredth time and had a uh oh moment again
No, my output path of simplicity has saved me from this tangled web which
Bound up my brain power to sort out and has allowed me to focus my
Attention on the power and beauty of the math that I just finished typing
​
--Shaun Canas, age 15 (autism, dyspraxia)

Praise for the Hardware Math Keyboard

"We are using the ArithmeType, and loving it"
-Teacher of Blind/Visually Impaired
​
"We have ordered and gotten one of your keyboards and love it and we are getting ready to order more."
-Special Education Teacher
I love this Keyboard!!!!! This was a very good investment. It’s amazing how much better and easier doing math on a computer gets with the right keyboard. I wish I would have had this thing years ago! Math has always been a challenge for me, but this key board helps a lot!!! Especially when I spend hours doing math homework. This actually helps me get done faster!
-Adam G., adult student taking an on-line trigonometry class
​
I also, spent more time actually inputting the symbols for my weekly discussion in MS word and Canvas math equation editor than I did anything else. This keyboard was also very helpful in Desmos, and my computer’s calculator. Overall I give this keyboard 100%.
-Adult student commenting on the many compatible platforms for the math keyboard
I appreciate you so much! I know your keyboard and apps are making a huge difference for students that need them.

"For many apps a math student may already own, ArithmeType feels like the missing feature that lets them shine"
-Teacher review, Educational App Store
"ArithmeType uses context-sensitive pop-ups to give students relevant options without the mental load of a whole new keyboard and layout"
-Teacher review, Educational App Store
"ArithmeType is a great quality-of-life improvement for any math student"
-Teacher review, Educational App Store
How does this app benefit teachers?
"It makes entering math into an app shown on a shared screen much easier. Juggling class control, lesson structure, and the math itself is a heavy cognitive load and having ArithmeType make typing much easier eases this burden on teachers."
"When the keyboard uses pop-ups, it clusters associated functions together, making for useful opportunities to teach about similarities and differences between them."
-Teacher review, Educational App Store
About Us
Doctor Mom and Autistic Son
I am a physician and mom of a 18-year-old son with regressive autism. I am witness to the shortcomings of the current educational system for children that struggle with motor issues and cannot show what they know. Until he was 12-years-old, Shaun was trapped inside an uncooperative motor system that would not let him plan or carry out novel actions like using a pencil. All of this changed when an insightful teacher during an intensive summer learning program, helped Shaun learn to type and connect his body and mind. Although he learned to type his language assignments independently, his ability to use a traditional laptop keyboard to type math was problematic due to number placement, shift keys and cryptic special characters. In addition, on-screen keyboards did not provide sensory feedback and required multiple screen changes. Shaun dreamed of a way to type math fluidly with just a keyboard. The accessibility gap and his dream propelled me into action. In collaboration with an electrical engineer, we created ArithmeType to help fill this void and make math truly accessible. Perhaps you know someone who might also benefit from using ArithmeType.
