About TouchStrokes

TouchStrokes provides a fully-functional virtual keyboard for Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X (including Tiger and Leopard) that works by drawing a keyboard image on the display and allows you to type characters into any normal application using a mouse, touch screen, graphic tablet, trackball, head pointer or other mouse emulator. It works seamlessly with all standard Mac applications (including those running in the Classic) allowing you to type virtually anywhere a hardware keyboard can be used. TouchStrokes automatically adjusts to US and international keyboard layouts and has multiple resizable keyboard models. It handles command-key combinations, dead-keys, and modifier key - click combinations. It offers a quick access toolbar and has many customizable settings.

TouchStrokes is ideal if you work with a touch screen, electronic white board, or set-up a touchscreen kiosk. Also for artists working with large graphic tablets or server managers that want to eliminate the clutter of having multiple physical keyboards on a desk it provides a great solution. People with disabilities should also check out KeyStrokes virtual keyboard, which offers special accessibility features.

TouchStrokes works with any mouse or mouse emulating device that is compatible with Mac OS X. This includes the Wacom Graphire and Intuos tablets and Cintiq displays. It also includes Mac OS X compatbile touch screens such as those from TrollTouch or just about any touch screen using the drivers from Touch-Base. Such touch screens are a great combination with a Mac mini and TouchStrokes to create a touch screen kiosk or station.
