NetBoard

NetBoard turns your computer into an instant input device for your phone, allowing you to type quickly, accurately, and effortlessly using your computer’s full physical keyboard.

Built from the ground up with accessibility (A11y) as a core value, NetBoard is designed for blind, visually impaired, and motor-impaired users who find mobile touchscreen keyboards challenging to use with screen readers such as TalkBack.

Key features

  1. Secure PC-to-phone typing: Anything you type in your computer’s web browser or the native app is immediately sent and typed on your phone in real time.
  2. Dual connection modes:
    • Local Mode (Wi-Fi): Devices communicate directly within your local Wi-Fi network. No data is sent to the internet, helping maximize speed and privacy.
    • Remote Mode (Internet): Connect from anywhere using a short pairing code, routed through an encrypted cloud relay server.
  3. AI voice dictation: NetBoard integrates with Whisper speech-to-text models from Groq and OpenAI. Add your own developer API key and dictate text with punctuation and high accuracy.
  4. Dynamic gestures: The dictation button supports both tap-to-talk with a short press and hold-to-talk with a long press.
  5. Accessibility sounds and TalkBack support: High-contrast layouts, TalkBack-friendly setup screens, and synthesizer alert sounds indicate recording status.
  6. File transfers: Send files and documents from your PC directly to your phone’s Downloads folder through the same web interface.

Windows app: Download NetBoard for Windows.

Privacy

NetBoard does not collect, log, or store your keystrokes, clipboard history, or audio files. Data is encrypted and processed strictly in transit. The app contains no ads and has no hidden fees.

    Hi! Does your app send commands to the phone? Like, for example, CTRL+arrows, CTRL+Numpad, and others? I am using SCRCPY currently for controlling phone from PC and this is one of the reasons I do. My Jieshuo keyboard theme is very extensive and allows you to use your phone fully without a touchscreen at all due to how much it can do. This is useful for me when I’m on my PC but need my phone for easier workflows. Does your app support sending full keyboard shortcuts through
