On-Screen Keyboard in OS X

On June 8, 2007, in AAC, Access, Accessibility, Assistive Technology, AT, Literacy, OS X, Uncategorized, by Samuel Sennott

Do you know how to activate the on-screen keyboard in Mac OS X? Here is a pdf of a visual guide to the process. On-Screen Keyboard in OS X

In Leopard, OS 10.5, I had a bug that made the Keyboard Viewer not availabe in the Input Menu. I looked up a fix for this where you paste a few lines of code into Terminal. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1896?viewlocale=en_US

A thousand thank yous to you! I’ve been trying to find this to try with someone who would benefit from an onscreen keyboard on a Mac.

Hey, Thanks for the info. I needed the on screen keyboard because my keyboard is broken. I was able to use this post to start the on screen keyboard and get my work done again.
