Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé consistant à répartir des groupes de lettres latines sur des touches numériques, le format du clavier programmable est tel qu'il est possible de visualiser les touches de fonction et les lettres latines. Dès lors, les opérations suivantes peuvent être effectuées par un utilisateur : appuyer sur une touche numérique ou sur la touche majuscule + une touche numérique ce qui affiche sur la zone de texte une lettre en minuscule ou en majuscule ; passer à un autre groupe de lettres, le format du clavier programmable permet d'utiliser une touche de fonction et la lettre latine correspondante et l'utilisateur peut confirmer directement la saisie d'une lettre. Grâce à la visualisation du clavier programmable, l'utilisateur est en mesure de saisir tout simplement les lettres ou les signes de ponctuation qu'il voit afin d'écrire sans difficulté et avec précision un texte en anglais. L'invention est spécialement indiquée pour s'adapter à un appareil de saisie de lettres latines via un clavier numérique.
