<h4>Set the virtual keyboard to the type of data entry required</h4>
<p>On some mobile devices, the standard keyboard can be customized in the device settings and additional custom keyboards can be installed. Some mobile devices also provide different virtual keyboards depending on the type of data entry. This can be set by the user or can be set to a specific keyboard. For example, using the different HTML5 form field controls (see <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ime-api/">Method Editor API</a>) on a website will show different keyboards automatically when users are entering in information into that field. Setting the type of keyboard helps prevent errors and ensures formats are correct but can be confusing for people who are using a screen reader when there are subtle changes in the keyboard. </p>
