On-screen keyboard with autocomplete capabilities, gesture support, programmable keys and a highly customizable user interface.
Working on a Windows computer with a touchscreen has its pros and cons. An annoying aspect is that you always need to carry around a keyboard and connect it to your PC to write text. A nice solution comes from Hot Virtual Keyboard, a program that provides you with a quick and simple way to type on your computer.
This utility puts a virtual keyboard on your desktop and all you need to do is to tap the keys you need. You can choose between a multitude of keyboard themes, customize their appearance according to your needs, make the main window opaque, enables sound effects for the keys, and so much more.
The program is quite simple to configure. Still, you have access to an integrated help manual that provides you with all the information you could possibly need. This guide comes in handy if you're new to this type of Windows tools.
Still, I don't think it's worth purchasing this program if you don't plan on using it often. You can use Windows' default onscreen keyboard which isn't feature-rich but gets the job done.
Hence, it's up to you to decide, based on your needs, if it's worth buying Hot Virtual Keyboard for your PC or not. The program works great, is very simple to handle, and provides you with many keyboard themes.
