Developer’s Description

Place a virtual keyboard on your desktop.

Frontype is an easy-to-use dekstop keyboard. It also can be used for emulation of any national keyboard layout because it reflects all your operations with physical keyboard and all the keys shown in their proper places in chosen language.

Frontype looks like a grey transparent film over the screen. It's easy to adjust and customize: size, transparency, color, key sets.

Pros
It is nice to have for learning keyboard of a foreign language.
Cons
1. Weird hard-to-learn key sequence to unlock the keyboard (why does it lock in the first place?) 2. The virtual keyboard randomly jumps partly off screen, and the title bar being off screen, it can't be grabbed to drag back onscreen. Close and open program - the virtual keyboard remains in the same place. No way to reset position of keyboard - ridiculous. 3. Uninstalled and reinstalled Frontype - after reinstall the virtual keyboard was in same place off screen! WTF? 4. The uninstall program needs to shut down about ten other programs that seem totally unrelated to a little utility like Frontype (it says they are using files that Frontype is using???). Be ready - if you don't close them down first and save, the Frontype uninstall rips through them like a pit bull with rabies.
Summary
Note that I bought this program and have a licence for it. This review was for running Frontype on a Windows 8.1 system

Pros
but if you want to type faster do not look at phisical keyboard neither at frontype on screen. Look directly at cursor. Have a look at screen-keyboard only if you hit the wrong keys several times.
Cons
good, laconic design
Summary
they give 10 days trial but i started type blindly after 2 days))
