How to use On-Screen Keyboard

On-Screen Keyboard is a Windows tool that functions as virtual keyboards that works exactly the same as the physical one but without having to press in keys, instead the user only need to use the mouse to point at the key he wants to press on the graphical interface provided to see the output on the application he is using.

To use the On-Screen Keyboard follow those steps:

Step 1: open start menu and search “On-screen keyboard” and click on the result

Step 2: make sure the tool is working by visually observing the result; the tool must appear like in the picture below

Step 3: test the tool functionality by typing text or performing a windows shortcut (as example I opened Microsoft word and typed a sentence using the “On screen keyboard”)

Example of the tool’s benefits:

Julia suffered from a concussion which affected her movement abilities especially the use of her fingers so she is constantly struggling when using her computer with typing on the keyboard, she can’t move her fingers quickly nor locate the keys she needs to press, now typing has become much easier for her since she got introduced to “On-Screen Keyboard” which allowed her to use only the mouse to interact with the system.
