Macrosoft On-Screen Keyboard

Macrosoft On-Screen Keyboard is an application that facilitates a virtual keyboard to help you type without using a physical keyboard, in case it's missing from the computer or doesn't work properly.

It's also a commonly used method to protect the information you type from keyloggers attempting to record details about email accounts or credit cards, for example.

The interface of the program is embodied in a large window in the shape of a QWERTY keyboard that contains the alphabet, numbers and symbols, in addition to the Backspace, Enter, Shift, Caps, Space and Tab keys.

The Control and Escape key along with the number pad are not available. As far as customization is concerned, it's possible to configure font settings regarding the type, style, size, effects (strikeout, underline) and script. Moreover, you can set different text and background colors.

Worth noting is that text can only be typed inside the dedicated box provided by Macrosoft On-Screen Keyboard. In the following steps, it can be selected, copied and pasted into the field you're interested in, such as username and password of an email account in the web browser.

Unlike most virtual keyboards out there, the tool doesn't give you the possibility to type text directly in the target fields, which makes it inconvenient to use.

To sum it up, Macrosoft On-Screen Keyboard offers a simple solution for using a virtual keyboard instead of a physical one. It had minimum impact on PC performance and stayed stable throughout its runtime in our tests.

On the other hand, the application doesn't implement features for typing text in other programs, which makes it difficult to handle when working with multiple tools at the same time. However, you can test it for yourself.
