Reviews
I wanted to tell you how much I like Hot Virtual Keyboard. Someone suggested your program to me, and I find it far superior. Your software works with email, both of my word processors, and anything else I need. So thanks for your product and for your assistance.
This keyboard has made a big difference to my computer activity.
I am a full-on quadriplegic and am only capable of head movement. So, it goes without saying that using a computer was difficult/impossible. But, thankfully, there are some great applications out there that make computers accessible to those like me; and HVK is one of those apps that has truly made a huge difference in my life. More
I have used your Virtual keyboard and I just want to say you have great product. Thank You.
First of all let me thank you for this tool which is by far the best of its category including all features I ever thought of. Good job, I love it, love using it on my tabletpc in replacement to the so limited windows tip. I registered the next day I tried it. Many thanks.
The app actually looks very good though, you can rearrange the keys and make a custom keyboard. I bet someone here could come up with a good layout.
