Hi All,

Co-Writer (Solo now)is both MAC and Windows - no on-screen keyboard with it
but I have successfully used the operating system on-screen keyboard with
the Windows version - and I don't see why the equivalent combination would
not work on a MAC - probably better, as everything is easier on a MAC. (I
confess to being an ex-MAC user who has to use Windows because everyone else
I work with does.) Ask Jamie Munro - he will know.

With a boy using the Windows version, I also used Click 'n Type because it
offered MFL keyboards at that much loved price... FREE! 

Hope this us useful

Hi,
 
I'm sure this has been asked before, but can't find the answer.
 
I need to source a Penfriend equivalent for Mac - i.e. OnScreenKeyboard
with
decent Prediction.
 
Any preferences anyone?
 
Cheers.
