Multi point touch screens sense multiple points of contact on the tablet PC allowing for better accuracy. and the zooming option. The more points the better the response from the LCD screen.

Other common multi touch screens are 5 point touch and 10 point touch. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kimber Gardner via Jfw Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2014 4:41 AM To: The Jaws for Windows support list.
