What is a virtual keyboard?

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): A virtual keyboard, also called an on-screen keyboard, is a keyboard drawn on the screen that you use by clicking or tapping instead of pressing physical keys. Phones and tablets use one all the time. On computers it helps when some keys are broken, for people who cannot use a physical keyboard, to type in another language's layout with its accents, or on touch screens. This one runs in the browser with four layouts and copies the text for you.
