Enter Text

You can type on your tablet using the available touchscreen keyboards.

Touchscreen Keyboards

orientation provides more space and results in slightly bigger on-screen keys. If you find that you prefer to
enter text via the on-screen keyboard, and need bigger keys, use this orientation.
