“Slick keyboard with new tricks”

by Tony Aldridge

PocketCM Keyboard offers a virtual keyboard for Apple lovers, well it's in the style of an Apple iPhone anyway. It makes typing extremely easy and has two great design features that make it a really great piece of software to use. First of all, the keyboard works in the opposite way to a normal computer keyboard. Instead of selecting a key when you press it, PocketCM Keyboard waits for you to take your finger off the key before using the letter. This can prove a bit tricky at first but once you get the hang of it it means you can slide your finger around the screen very quickly.

Also the software predicts what you are going to write but in a way that is different to other predictive text features. If you are writing a word it begins to recognise, it will not only start to give you the 'quick selection' option it will also prevent you from making mistakes by purposely not choosing your letter. It does this by reading whereabouts on the keyboard your finger is and automatically choosing a more accurate letter for the word you are spelling. Again, clever, and again it takes some time to get used to. Most people either like or hate predictive text features. I like them and this one works well. Plus it's something new and the design is great.

From the publisher of PocketCM Keyboard

PocketCM Keyboard is a SIP for Windows Mobile (a virtual keyboard) that allows quick text input with smart and automatic corretion. PocketCM Keyboard offers a visible feedback of the key currently pressed, you can imagine that your finger is on the keyboard... and now you can easily see what key is pressed.

Second important thing: you can move your finger, the key will change, release it, the key will be triggered (so it's the opposite of a physical keyboard: the actual action is when you release the key, not when you push it).
