SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/07/13 -- Award-winning application developer, CooTek (www.touchpal.com), today announced the Windows 8 version of its free intelligent keyboard, TouchPal Keyboard. It features the same capabilities as CooTek's existing Android and iOS applications (mwne.ws/13Zcp8u), including sliding input, contextual prediction, blind typing and extendible plugins, and adds the option for a fully customizable split keyboard layout. TouchPal Keyboard runs on Windows 8 touchscreen tablets and any x86 based Windows 8 computer.

Typing on a Windows 8 touchscreen device can be challenging and TouchPal Keyboard solves this issue by making it easier for people to use their devices at home or in the workplace. As the only cross-platform keyboard app and the default keyboard on devices by leading manufacturers including HTC and Sony, TouchPal Keyboard allows businesses that allow their employees to bring their own devices to work to benefit from higher productivity across the board.

"As Windows 8 machines continue to be adopted by businesses and consumers, we knew that they would need a custom keyboard to make typing easier and faster than ever," said Michael Wong, CEO of CooTek. "Our Android and iOS versions have significantly improved the mobile experience for users, and we are excited to extend its benefits to Windows 8 device owners."
