For some learners, it might be faster and easier to enter text into a keyboard by gliding over the keys rather than lifting and dropping a finger. Learners can access the Swipe to Type feature of the onscreen keyboard on a Chromebook to glide to type. To access the on screen keyboard use the following steps:
- Sign in to the Chromebook.
- At the bottom right, select the time.
- Select Settings
Accessibility.
- Under “Keyboard and text input,” turn on On-screen keyboard.
The keyboard will then appear on the screen. Then use the following steps
- Select the location where you want to type.
- Slide a finger or stylus across the letters of the word you want to type.
- Lift the finger or stylus when you finish the word. The space key does not need to be selected when a word is completed. Lifting the finger or stylus will automatically add a space.
Happy typing!
