VIRTUAL KEYBOARD

On a desktop computer, a virtual keyboard might provide an alternative input mechanism for
users with disabilities who cannot use a conventional keyboard, or for bi- or multi-lingual users
who switch frequently between different character sets or alphabets, which may be confusing
over

time.

Although

hardware

keyboards

are

available

with

dual

keyboard

layouts (e.g. Cyrillic/Latin letters in various national layouts), the on-screen keyboard provides a
handy substitute while working at different stations or on laptops, which seldom come with dual
layouts.

Virtual keyboards can be categorized by the following aspects:

Physical keyboards with distinct keys comprising electronically changeable displays


integrated in the keypads

Virtual keyboards with touch screen keyboard layouts or sensing areas

Optically projected keyboard layouts or similar arrangements of "keys" or sensing areas

Optically detected human hand and finger motions

Virtual keyboards to allow input from a variety of input devices, such as a computer
mouse, switch or other assistive technology device.

Online virtual keyboards for multiple languages that don't require OS settings change
