The On Screen Keyboard

Besides the Touch Keyboard that’s new in Windows 8, you can also use the On Screen Keyboard (OSK) that has been brought forward through several previous Windows versions. It’s one of the Accessibility Tools discussed in Chapter 8.

You can’t have both the Touch Keyboard and the OSK on the screen at the same time. Opening one closes the other. However, you can use either one with both desktop and Windows 8–style apps.
