Transparent keyboard on the screen for simple touch typing

Hello everyone. You can learn touch typing without spending time on lessons, just while you're working on your computer. The free program Transparent Keyboard displays an image of the keyboard on the screen and shows the key you pressed. If you know your fingers are on the home row keys (the keys with frames in the image) and can see the image of the keyboard, you can type by sliding your finger, using the image as a guide. The xml folder contains layout files that can be edited if desired.

    If your fingers are on the home row keys (the keys with frames in the image) and you can see the keyboard image, you can type smoothly by sliding your fingers across the keys, using the visual as a guide. Additionally, the xml folder contains layout files that you can edit if you'd like to customize the keyboard layout to suit your preferences.
