<p class=MsoNormal>I've also played around with some simpler (and lower-cost)
onscreen keyboards for WIndows: Touch-It Virtual Keyboard and Click-N-Type
(links below).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The primary distinguishing feature I see with all of these
is the degree to which you can customize or program the keyboard to meet the
user's needs -- choices available, physical arrangement of those choices (size,
layout, position), how the choices are represented (e.g., icon plus text, add
custom image), and the complexity of macros one can associate with a
"key" selection".<o:p></o:p></p>
