Definition: touchscreen typing


Typing directly on a keyboard displayed on screen. All smartphones and tablets, as well as roughly a quarter of all laptops have touchscreens for typing and drawing. Some all-in-one desktop computers and stand-alone monitors also have touchscreens.

A variation of touchscreen typing is "finger swiping," whereby a finger is moved from letter to letter without leaving the screen keyboard until the word is completely spelled (see Swype).
