Like we already don’t have enough virtual keyboard solutions on the market, Paragon Software has announced the release of InterKey 3.0, a multilingual text input application for Windows Mobile touchscreen devices.

InterKey 3.0Available in two editions, InterKey 3.0 Standard and InterKey 3.0 Professional with word auto-completion function, the application brings iPhone-like zooming function to Windows Mobile.

Some of the InterKey 3.0 features include:

  • Multilingual layouts – InterKey 3.0 contains 60 national layouts that allow users to write in 36 languages and quickly switch between them.
  • Several text input options – users can switch to the standard keyboard (to type with with stylus) or use keys large enough for finger typing.
  • Special keystrokes aka gestures allow all the advantages of a standard keyboard, such as quick entry of uppercase, preceding character erasing, and other important functions.
  • Word completion function (available in the Professional Edition) allows frequently used words to be typed more quickly and easily by implementing the dictionary structure. All new words, once entered, will be automatically added to the word database.
  • Ergonomic layout design – apparently makes the text input even easier and more comfortable.

The InterKey 3.0 Standard Edition is available for $24.95 while the Professional edition could be yours for $34.95 via PenReader’s website.
