How to make keyboard font larger

Hi.

I'm short sigthed and wondering if there is a way to make the built in keyboard font size larger or more clearer. Just bold characters would do?

I am using the zoom function a lot but it is difficult to write emails and to use other programmes when I have to move the wiev around all the time.

I've resorted to use iphone apps instead because they are easyer to see. But they automattically update to ipad versions when they are availeble. Thus the problem occurs again.

Any helpfull hints or suggeistions are appriciated.

Thanks.

iPad 2, iOS 5.1

Unfortunately, this is the downside of having a table like an iPad. Though you can increase the keyboard real estate by switching to landscape mode it is still limited for those of us with bigger fingers or hands. I strongly recommend getting a wireless keyboard if you are in need of better tactile input method that the landscape mode cannot provide.

Also you could look into moving the keyboard actually even smaller by pressing the bottom right button and moving the keyboard halfway up the screen and using the keyboard with thumbs as you would on your iPhone. This would take the stress off of trying to type with four fingers.
