Mobile device input
The inbuilt soft keyboards on mobile devices have many customised behaviours that make them unsuitable for typing tuition. e.g. they hide the “;” under “shift” and numerals under the “123” making it impossible to use them for learning to type correctly.
Revolutionary on-screen keyboard
Typing Tournament cleverly solves these problems by substituting its own revolutionary, on-screen keyboard which has a standard layout and colour coding which matches the colour coding used in the lessons.
- The virtual on-screen keyboard simply pops up when typing on a mobile device
- Users can use the same keystrokes on mobile devices as they do on computer keyboards!
- Swap easily between PCs and mobile devices without disrupting the development of muscle memory
