Introduction
Virtual keyboards can be difficult for users as different types of keyboards and functionalities exist,
and they are spreading exponentially; with the rise of tactile mobile phones and devices, most users in
the world will have to use such interfaces for communication, work or leisure.
The most widespread type of virtual keyboard is found on devices that use both a screen to display the
virtual keyboard (on-screen keyboard) and a built-in, direct touch interface to operate it.
Devices that use an on-screen keyboard with a direct touch interface include at least one touchpad
screen that allows both the display of the keyboard interface and the interaction with the user. These
features are mostly found in handheld devices such as mobile phones, tablets and connected watches,
but can also be seen in other devices such as laptop computers, kiosks, automated teller machine (ATM)
whiteboards, or other touchpad devices used for presentation and demonstration purposes.
The main purpose of this document is to provide a reliable, harmonized and easy-to-use interface for
all on-screen keyboards with a direct touch interface across the various devices that might be using
it, especially mobile and connected devices. It considers a wide range of user needs such as changing
keyboard layouts for multilingual users, customization, responding to accessibility, or adapting the
available keys depending on the context of use, to allow faster typing.
The ISO/IEC 22121 series specifies the requirements and recommendations for all types of virtual
keyboards. This document specifies the requirements and provides further recommendations for on-
screen keyboards with direct touch interface. This document is harmonized with ISO/IEC 24757, which
describes any type of keyboard.

Part 2:
On-screen keyboards with direct touch interface
1 Scope
This document specifies the design and specification of on-screen keyboards (keyboards that are
displayed on a screen) with direct touch interface, including those with some audio feedback.
This document specifies keyboard layouts designed for on-screen keyboards with direct touch interface
and ways for interaction with them.
It is not applicable to virtual keyboards that are not displayed on a screen, and on-screen keyboards
that do not provide a direct touchscreen interface such as on-screen keyboards relying on an accessory
unit like a trackpad or a remote control for interactions with the user.
It is not applicable to physical keyboards that use real or adaptable keys, which can be customized to
user needs, for example, with LCD display.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3.1
on-screen keyboard
virtual keyboard (3.3) displayed on any type of screen
Note 1 to entry: On-screen keyboards are one specific type of virtual keyboards, probably the most common, that
use a screen to display a visual keyboard.
Note 2 to entry: This type of virtual keyboard can be used on personal computer’s screens, on feature phones and
tablets, mobile phones and tablets, TVs, kiosks, whiteboards.

ISO/IEC FDIS 22121-2:2022(E)
3.2
physical keyboard
mechanical or electronic input device using an arrangement of buttons or keys
Note 1 to entry: Some physical keyboards are adaptable (for example, using LCD screens instead of keys with
printed symbols and characters).
3.3
virtual keyboard
software alternative to a physical keyboard (3.2)
3.4
associated character
alphabetic character derived from another alphabetic character
Note 1 to entry: Characters can be associated because a diacritic sign is added to it (for example, Ê is associated
to letter E) or because of its close relation to it.
Note 2 to entry: For most languages, using associated characters is essential to write properly.
3.7
qwerty-like on-screen keyboard
virtual keyboard layout used for typing in Latin-based languages, with a layout of alphabetical
characters similar to the physical keyboard layout from which it is derived (qwerty, qwertz, azerty…)
3.8
prediction
software-generated set of characters, i.e. word, phrase or text, based on user typing that can be selected
as next input for faster typing
3.9
group
logical state of a keyboard providing access to a collection of graphic characters (3.13) or elements of
graphic characters
Note 1 to entry: A group gives access to one collection of characters. Typically, when more than one language is
used, multiple groups are required.
Note 2 to entry: Usually these graphic characters or elements of graphic characters logically belong together and
can be arranged on several levels within a group.
Note 3 to entry: The input of certain graphic characters, such as accented letters, may require access to more
than one group.
Note 4 to entry: Subsets of a group are called levels.
[SOURCE: ISO/IEC 9995­1:2009, 4.9]
3.10
level
logical state of a keyboard providing access to a subset of a collection of graphic characters (3.13) or
elements of graphic characters in a group (3.9)
Note 1 to entry: In certain cases, the level selected may also affect function keys.
Note 2 to entry: With on-screen keyboards, it is usual that only one level be shown per panel at a time.

[SOURCE: ISO/IEC 9995­9:2016, 3.9]
3.13
graphic character
character, other than a control function, that has a visual representation normally handwritten, printed
or displayed
Note 1 to entry: Graphic characters with no visual representation can still be used, as per ISO/IEC 9995-7.
[SOURCE: ISO/IEC 9995-1:2009, 4.1, Note 1 to entry added.]
3.14
graphic symbol
visual representation of a graphic character (3.13), a control function, or a combination of one or more
graphic characters and/or control functions
[SOURCE: ISO/IEC 9995­1:2009, 4.14]
3.15
symbol
any graphic symbol (3.14) which is none of a letter, a digit or a punctuation mark
[SOURCE: ISO/IEC 9995­9:2016, 3.24]
3.16
level 2 select
function that, if activated, will change the keyboard state to produce characters from level 2
Note 1 to entry: Level 2 is particularly associated to case in bicameral scripts (for example, scripts which use
upper and lower case). Other characters are often displayed at the same time in level 2 when space allows it in the
same panel.
Note 2 to entry: By default, level 2 select is activated only for the ne
