The two mobile keyboards appear to take different approaches in their keyboard design. The first, Native Innovation's, appears to utilize an extra row on top of the standard keyboard layout, presumably the number bar, wherein it contains many characters frequently used in Navajo. These include different vowels with vowels with nasal and high tone and some with both. It relegates the numbers, as well as the symbols usually on the number row, to alternate presses of standard letters. On the standard keys, there are also keys with high tone vowels, as well as a letter not present on the English keyboard, ł.
