Unicode On-Screen Keyboard: insert text snippets into any Windows app Created by Michele Salvador

Free Open Source
Windows

Uosk is a light tool that opens any ASCII, ANSI, UTF-8 and UTF-16 text file and converts words (e.g. separated by spaces) into buttons. Clicking one button the text snippet is pasted into any text editor (Notepad, WordPad, MS Office, OpenOffice...). You can edit snippets directly in Uosk, and save them as a new txt file. The snippet can also be copied to clipboard.
It's basically a virtual keyboard with ability to set any amount of characters in one button.

Features:
- Load text files encoded ASCII, ANSI, UTF-8, UTF-16, Unicode
- Insert text snippet in any text editor (Notepad, WordPad, MS Office...)
- Edit snippets in a integrated text editor
- Snippet can also be copied to clipboard
- Stuck on foreground like on-screen keyboard More Info »
