Hi Kim, Here something you may also want to try. I turned the screen brightness down to zero in settings. The screen gets very dark, but not completely black. Then I typed a few words in Fleksy. My wife who has 20 20 vision could not read the text from four feet away. At least it will keep people from reading over your shoulder while you are using Fleksy. Hope this helps, Chuck
