Technology news and updates blog article

2nd April 2008

The second version of ZoomBoard has been released, a screen keyboard for finger typing on pocket computer and Windows Mobile Communicators. When typing, a translucent loupe appears on the screen, which increases letters under the finger, and thus helps to avoid mistakes.
The new version of ZoomBoard realizes 3 types of increasing keys: “lens zoom”, appearing above the keyboard in the middle of the screen, “float zoom” that occurs just above the letter, which the user types on the screen, and “full zoom” increasing letters of the keyboard.
Another innovation is the option of “smart zoom”. By means of it, the increase can operate immediately or when pressing a keyboard, or with a slight delay. All these modes can be regulated to your preference.
Finally, ZoomBoard 2 supports flourishes: if you move your finger from left to right on the keyboard, you, thus, press the key “gap”; if you move the finger to the left it will work as “backspace”; to the top - shift, down - enter. Key-combinations shift and ctrl also correspond to certain actions, as if you work with a regular keyboard.
