How to change mobile keyboard orientation without changing device orientation

I am working on a mobile app for IOS and Android in Unity, it needs to swap between screen orientations, landscape to portrait, with input text in both orientations. The transition-animations in iOS and Android are awkward to get around without looking ugly, so I would rather try to keep the device in landscape orientation, rotate the portrait sections of the app by 90 degrees, and tell the game to open the portrait-mode keyboard while the device is still in landscape orientation. Input text is required in both portrait and landscape scenes, so I need to be able to choose which orientation the keyboard popup is in.

I have only worked in mobile development through unity, so I do not know if this is this possible with the operating system's specific development resources like Xcode. To my knowledge you cannot disable android's screen-reorientating animation so this may be the only way to get around it. Any pointers for scripting in Android or iOS would be appreciated as well.
