The Virtual Keyboard was developed for Samsung Smart TV, but it can be used with other compatible devices.
You can also use this keyboard with a wireless mouse and regular computer connected to HDTV.
In this case you don't need to keep bulky keyboard on a couch to search for news or favorite movies.

video to see how easy it is to use this keyboard.
It can be used for searching video, news, directories, search engines and other sites listed on the Virtual Keyboard Smart TV page.
This keyboard has the same layout as a standard physical keyboard and can be controlled by mouse or regular TV remote control.

Installation: The Virtual Keyboard for Smart TV does not require any installation.
This is just a web page, which you need to open in Smart TV Web browser.
If your Smart TV does not have a Web browser, it means that it is not that smart and you cannot use this program. :-(
Many people are asking - how to open the web page in a browser if you don't have a keyboard to type the web page address?
In most cases the Smart TV allows entering text using regular remote. Usually a TV displays on-screen keys for entering the text.
The process is slow and tedious, however you need to do it only once.
Enter URL: http://www.softcorporation.com/smarttv/smarttv.html and make sure the browser has navigated to this page.
As soon as you get there, you can save the Virtual Keyboard for Smart TV page
as the Web browser home page and then it will be ready to use when you open your Smart TV Web browser.
To set Virtual Keyboard for Smart TV page as a home page for your Samsung Smart TV Web browser,
select the very right Smart TV browser top menu icon "Settings", go to "Option" menu and select menu item "Set as homepage".
