2. A soft keyboard sometimes called on
screen keyboard or software keyboard is
a system which replaces the hardware
keyboard on a computing device with an
on-screen image map. Soft and
compatible keyboards are typically used
to enable input on a hand-held device so
that a keyboard doesn't have to be carried
with it.

3. These kind of keyboards can usually be
moved and resized, and usually can
allow any input that the hardware
version does. Apart from that, other
features such as speech synthesis or
word completion or prediction, may be
included. A soft keyboard is perhaps the
most common type of virtual keyboards.

4. Although there have been a number
of portable keyboards and keyboard
alternatives developed for handheld
devices, they have often been awkward
and error-prone. With a soft keyboard,
you can enter data by tapping keys on the
keyboard display, generally with a stylus ,
so that accuracy depends only on hitting
the right key.

5. Some soft keyboards comprise programs
that recognize the likelihood of certain
keystrokes, so that they can choose the
most likely choice when a keystroke is
ambiguous. Soft and compatible keyboards
are typically used as an on-screen input
scheme in devices with no physical
keyboard, where there is no room for one,
such as a tablet or touch screen equipped
mobile phone or pocket computer

6. Virtual keyboards are also used as
features of emulation for systems that
have fewer buttons than a computer
keyboard would have. For people who are
not able to use a regular keyboard, these
soft and compatible keyboards allow
input through a variety of means,
including mouse or trackball control,
touch screen , and head-pointing devices.

7. These keyboards optically detects and
analysis human hand and finger motions
and interprets them as operations on a
physically non-existent input device like a
surface having painted keys. The
performance of these new virtual software
keyboards is highly customizable. Assign
unique sounds to a group of keys, set
commands and macros, and use pen
gestures instead of the Shift key enable fast
typing with better feedback. For more visit
