The advent of the smartphone and the emergence and increasing popularity of tablets has changed the way people communicate. Voice-calling has almost taken a backseat, with a lot of users primarily using their handhelds for internet browsing, email, and some, even for writing complete documents, spreadsheets, etc. Capacitive touchscreen technology and the increasing size of smartphone screens has made it easier for users to type long messages, emails, and notes on a full QWERTY virtual keyboard like the Toshiba Laptop Keyboard . Remember the time when typing a “C” required you to tap the 2 key on the phone number pad three times, in quick succession? Unfortunately, for many consumers, touchscreen keyboards aren’t that easy to use, and most users are quite unhappy with the stock keyboards available on their devices. This has led to the emergence of many third-party virtual keyboard applications. Apart from just providing a full keyboard, these apps are also smarter, featuring word-completion recommendations using built-in dictionaries, swipe and slide features for easy typing, and, in the case of tablets, thumb keyboards for typing on the much larger screens. Today, we’ll talk about some of the best keyboards such as Toshiba Laptop Keyboard available for Android smartphones and tablets. Here are are few things that you will need to know about the video: Since many find typing on larger screens slightly difficult, we will be using a tablet for our purposes. The ColorNote Notepad app is used to show the functionality of the various keyboards. The input methods were configured in Settings beforehand. SlideIT SlideIT is a keyboard app with swipe capabilities, a la the Swype keyboard, where you “slide” from letter to letter to type out a word. Features include: An extensive word recommendation dictionary. Voice recognition capability and up to four pages for punctuation and symbols. Choice between regular typing or using the slide feature. Multiple language settings available. Settings include Language options, Look and Feel settings, Preferences, Share, Skins, and Speech-to-Text settings. “Look and Feel” settings feature a choice between SlideIT 3D and Classic skins, Landscape and full screen modes, Long press duration, and visual settings reset. “Import Contacts” allows the keyboard to recognize the names that you type. I use the SlideIT keyboard, but I personally find the slide function quite difficult on the larger screen of a tablet, but very convenient on my smartphone. You can download the keyboard from the Google Play Store here. It is currently on sale for $0.99. There is also a 15-day trial version available for free as well.
