Text input on tablets presents unique ergonomic challenges that differ from both smartphones and desktop computers. Unlike phones that support comfortable thumb typing or keyboards that offer tactile feedback, tablet typing often involves awkward hand positioning and lacks physical key response.

Here are some guidelines to mitigate this issue:

• Allow users to save searches and other inputs that they fill into form fields.
• Offer autosuggestions and autocorrect.
• Accept alternative forms of input through cameras, QR codes, microphones, or GPS.
• Auto-fill information wherever possible instead of asking users to type them in manually. For example, the card type can be easily identified by the system when a user enters the card number.
• Auto-format form fields.
• Provide default options based on user research insights.
• Enable copying and pasting.
• Avoid making input fields small to prevent the added hassle of scrolling within the box.
• Automatically provide numeric, character, or alphabet keyboards according to the type of input required.^[1]
