Teksoft releases FingerTouch - virtual keyboard for usage with fingers August 04, 2007 [Pocket PC] | By Edward J. R. It is not a secret that touch-screen version of Windows Mobile is designed by Microsoft mainly to be used with stylus! Some standard functions of Windows Mobile for touch-screens cannot be used with fingers only (unless you like to use fingernails)... so clearly it is good news that 3rd party companies are addressing this issue: typing with fingers: For the PocketPC devices, the data input is often a real problem for the user. To try to write a big email on that tiny keyboard is not a very pleasant experience. We've tried to bring a new innovative solution to bypass some of these problems. We've designed a new kind of Software Keyboard, that we've called FingerTouch because it allows you to truly use your fingers while typing, and the good thing is that the screen and the text still remains visible. The compromise between big buttons and small screen space has been carefully analyzed, and the result was the implementation of smart algorithms that are based on letter order statistics, or on technologies like "UltraKeyboard" that offer improved typing speed. Although being big improvement for finger-based typing over standard Windows Mobile virtual keyboards, FingerTouch still doesn't offer 2 functions known from competition: magnified keys when pressed (to better locate keys), sending "press" event when finger is lifted and not when finger touches the screen (to avoid accidental mistyping).
