(OnScreen for Windows - Click on pic to see full size image)

Our on-screen keyboard allows the user to enter text into any application. I've included many special features based on feedback from actual on-screen keyboard users. A few are:

WordComplete gives you choices of words you've used previously, in the order of frequency-of- use, to complete your current word. It learns as you use it, adding to its built-in word bank.

SizeApp/Auto-Arrange lets you size the application you are typing 'into', so that the OnScreen and app. windows do not cover each other.

Many people ask how our OnScreen can be so inexpensive and what are the major differences between it and other on-screen keyboards, so...

OnScreen has WordComplete, which is not the same as word *prediction*. WordComplete just attempts to complete the word you are working on, whereas word prediction attempts to 'read ahead'
OnScreen now has built-in row/column, *talking* scanning (1-2 switches)! Great for visually impaired. Or a sighted user can us CrossScanner for 1-2 switch scanning.
OnScreen allows you to change any and all colors (Mac OS 9 and Windows versions only).
OnScreen auto-arranges windows (some of the others do not) (Mac OS 9 and Windows versions only).
OnScreen talks (some of the others do not) (Mac OS 9 and Windows versions only).
OnScreen has macro capabilities (some of the others do not).
OnScreen has a large variety of sizes (some of the others do not).
OnScreen lets you edit the WordComplete lists directly (some of the others do not).
OnScreen lets you *create* or add to word lists, from any text source.
OnScreen lets you set almost any language (some of the others do not).
OnScreen lets you 'hide' keys, for 'early' learners (no other does this) (Windows version only)
OnScreen lets you launch other programs from within it (some of the others do not).
OnScreen, with one click, moves and auto-arranges between top and bottom of screen (the others don't do that) ((Mac OS 9 and Windows versions only).
OnScreen, when LARGE and too big to fit on-screen, auto-scrolls left/right when you pin the cursor against an edge (the others don't do that) (Windows version only)
OnScreen works with Vista and XP/NT/2000/98/95 (some of the others do not).
The other 'big' on-screen keyboards run from $300-$1400 (well, you asked about major differences! ;-)

Keystrokes, another company's product for Mac OS X, which we are reselling,
has many of the same features!

So, as you can see, as far as we can tell, for a *fraction* of the price, OnScreen does most of what the others do, and quite a bit more!

Works with: any pointing device (SAM-Joystick and SAM-Trackball works well) or CrossScanner
