Virtual Keyboard
ViewPad includes the Swype input method as the default on-screen keyboard.
The keyboard will appear automatically when you select a text input field. You can
show and hide the keyboard manually by pressing the Swype icon in the taskbar or
the Hide button in the lower right corner of the keyboard.
Press the lock button in the lower right part of the keyboard to enable Lock or
Manual mode. In this mode, the keyboard only appears and hides when you press
the Swype icon.
The re-size icon in the lower left corner of the keyboard toggles between large and
small sizes. Next to that is the Swype settings button. Press that to adjust settings or
to view the Swype tutorial.
Using Swype is as easy as sliding your finger from one letter to the next – no tapping
required. View the built-in tutorial to learn more.
To use the standard Windows on-screen keyboard instead, go to Control Panel,
select Ease of Access Center, and check "Start On-Screen Keyboard."
To make the Windows keyboard appear at start up, scroll down in the Ease of
Access Center and select "Use the computer without a mouse or keyboard." Check
"Use On-Screen Keyboard" to bring up the Windows keyboard automatically
whenever you turn on the tablet.
