Dvorak is an alternative to Qwerty. It is a keyboard layout designed to minimise movement, and make typing as easy and painless as possible. The idea behind it is to have the most commonly typed keys under the fingers, and make it as easy as possible to type common words and combinations of letters.
Features: Best android app available for dvorak in landscape & portrait mode. Support from 3.0 to 7.0. A keyboard designed for speed typing. Letters are arranged in order of frequency in English for faster typing.

How to install Dvorak Keyboard APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Dvorak Keyboard APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.inmenzo.dvorakkeyboard-v2.0.1-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

3 ★I only just installed this keyboard and so far so good. However, I can't set the 'dark' setting u mentioned in one of your responses. I tried accessing through my settings but I get an error saying it cannot access Dvorak IME. Any suggestions?
1 ★There are Dvorak layouts in other keyboards that are better than this one, it's not an accurate Dvorak layout. The apostrophe should be up on the top left, question mark and exclamation point should not be there, the top row is shifted over a letter so things don't line up. No autocorrect or anything, which isn't a problem if the layout is accurate. If it can't be, you need to include some autocorrect options like putting in apostrophes so you don't have to go to the second screen to type a word.
3 ★Just started using and it's cool, but it really needs improvements. Every time I switch to the numbers then switch back, I can't get back to the letters unless I rotate the keyboard. I'd much rather have a shift key, than a caps lock. Auto capitalize the first letter of every sentence and replace @ character with the apostrophe. So far I sent one text and typed this. Has taken me about 25 to 30 minutes.
2 ★pls. add settings I cant adjust the keyboard height. Also there is no search button whn i browse, i enter a url and there is no "search button"(the button with the magnifying glass) all it's showing on the rightbottom of the keyboard is the "enter"(the arrow bent and is pointing towards the left) tht is why i cant enter a website when i used this keybrd. Another thing is whn u "shift up" and press a lettr, the letters dnt go bck to small case u hve to press it again to mke it small. Fix all of this please!!
3 ★I love that this app exists but still needs some quality of life changes. Having caps lock first toggle to function like shift would be great. I also would like the number keys along the top of the first window. The swipe typing function would be great. Without it I will need to go back to the default board. Thanks for putting this together though
5 ★The app the great and good for touch interface... It may take a while to get used to.. But it using something different is good.
5 ★Nice and clean. However, I can.t switch back to letters after symbols view. I think themes smileys are not necessary. Please fix bugs. Thx
4 ★i used a dvork app before but this layout seems a lot better. but do you collect everything we type? also will there be a dark setting ? :: Update:: there is a bug with the keyboard when I click to the numbers I can't switch back to letters without exiting app
2 ★the layout is close but isnt a true dvorak. the enter button only works 20 percent of time. while typyni this i realise you are missing nymbals to include percent sign. also no settengs. once again the non dvorak layout is wierd when youv typed dvorak. i keep hitting p for y because you added to the keyboard.
3 ★when i typed numbers, the keyboard wouldn't go back to the alphabet form when i press the abc button. instead it brings me to numeric keyboard. i cannot find the persen symbol too. please fix this coz it is very annoying. i also hope that you can insert built in emoticons.
3 ★Decent start but needs refinement. Space bar is off center. Some symbols are either missing or hard to find. Missing other languages, such as Spanish. Not even a passive autocorrect and spell check is on the weak side... Nevertheless a good basis to start from. Responsiveness is very good.
3 ★each time i want to switch from abc to number tab, i cant return back to abc tab without completely closing the keyboard and voiding any entry i had made.
