You mean using all your fingers? I wish touch screen had the speed to support typing as fast as you could on a full sized keyboard.

I think the screen is just a bit small for all fingers. Even if it were a proper keyboard at that size it would be tricky.

I tend to be pretty fast at typing, but I not a touch typist. I only really use four fingers and a thumb for the space bar and that transfers well to this keyboard.

I also have no problem using the pads of my fingers. i don't need to use my nails to type.

Version 7.8.4 released.

This version removes the leading "-" in all command line options. Please change any existing shortcuts or start up procedures accordingly. The following options are supported:

    Quiet
    NoBumpBox
    NoTapBox
    NoPhysKb
    Transparent=nn%

Finally, the much requested transparency feature is now here. To start the keyboard in half see through mode, use the command line option "Transparent=50%". Supported values are 0% (not transparent) to 80% (almost complete transparent). While the keyboard is running, the transparency can be adjusted in 1% steps using the Fn key followed by the Up and Dn keys on ZW Keyboard.

Great stuff! I will try this now.

Just given this a try and it is brilliant!

The transparency feature has made it a must have application for me. I've tried other full screen keyboards for portable devices in the past (mainly PDAs) and they all fail because you haven't got a clue what you are typing!

I have no problem typing with the pads of my fingers on this and find it really quick. I also find it better with no sound.

Thank you very much!

Glad you liked it. A lot more features are yet to come. Stay tuned.

I have to say this is a fantastic development, the see through option is ideal. Thank you very much I look forward to see how you can possibly improve it. It has increased the input speed on my device. Thank you again. 

Version 7.8.5 is up.

This version incorporates code to keep the keyboard and the Tap Box above other special top level windows such as pull down menus, task bar, and pop ups like the IE URL history list.

Whenever necessary the keyboard will bring itself  to the fore within 1/10 of a second of another window appearing in front of it. The timing for the tap box is more relaxed. The tap box will rise to the top within 2 seconds.

Someone over at MPCT wanted to know if there was any way that he could get this keyboard in Russian. Maybe he could help create a Russian version if you were interested, take a look at this thread -

Thanks for bringinng this to my attention. I have not considered the multi-language dimension before.

Having examined the Russian keyboard layout, there's no direct way to transform ZWKB into Russian because the Russian keyboard is wider and has more alphabets. So for the foreseeable future, ZWKB will remain English only.

I'm on XP, and when I run the exe file, I get:

"The application failed to intialize properly(0xc0000135)."

Thanks.

Have you got the .Net Framework 2.0 installed?

It needs that to run, and it isn't standard in XP.

Increasing number of new software are becoming .Net reliant. Sooner or later you will need .Net for your Windows. You can get the .Net 2.0 redistributable from Microsoft directly:
