Touchscreen Keyboard Software
« on: April 22, 2009, 03:19:26 pm »
I got a new touchscreen monitor for my jukebox and want to eliminate the keyboard on this PC. Can someone recommend a good program to do so?

Thanks.

most jukebox software have onscreen keyboard to search songs, for desktop it better to use a VCN or networking to do that if you ask me.

Why dont you just use the one Windows has?

Start>All Programs>Accessories>Accessability>On Screen Keyboard

Make a shortcut to the desktop.

I use Instantsheller and it boots E-Touch as my main program to boot into.

I have an extra I-Pac that I attached to my setup that I put 3 buttons on the back. 1-Control 1-Alt 1-Delete ( I know, waste of an I-Pac and expensive buttons) Hit all three at once and the Windows Task Manager comes up. From there I just click New Task, at the prompt : explorer is already there because when I had a keyboard attached I typed it in, Then just hit OK then Explorer starts up, then I just click the Desktop and the on-screen keyboard shortcut is there.

Everything I need to do is on my Desktop so I put shortcuts there and just click them. The tiny keyboard is a little trying at times, but I have big fingers.

Hope this helps! :cheers:

Comfort On-Screen Keyboard has a nice on-screen keyboard. It's pretty big and easy to use with a touchscreen. The one Fordman mentioned works ok but is a little to small.

I like Click-N-Type.  Has alot of customization features and is free.

I agree with SF, i don't see a need for a seperate on screen keyboard. If i do have to do work i plug one in.
