Overview
Virtual Keyboard is a Java script web-based application for text input in foreign languages. Integration of the Virtual Keyboard into Internet services will significantly increase the site's potential in reaching multilingual web audience.
Virtual Keyboard does not require any changes to language settings of the system and even speeds up the entire text input process for the users. It allows native speaking visitors to access web resources from any location in the world without changing national keyboard layouts and fonts on their computers.
Virtual Keyboard can be used as an additional precaution feature to replace the physical keyboard for secure login or input of secure information. It provides a more secure transaction environment especially in areas open to general use.
Virtual keyboard is implemented in two modes: a floating keyboard, as a separate web window, and an inline keyboard, imbedded in the same window as a form.
