Touch keypad in tablet mode

[ktg123]

I recently purchased a HP spectre for myself and my University studies, particularly for the benefits of being able to use the device in tablet mode aswell as laptop mode. However, when I place the laptop in tablet mode I cant seem to type at all, I expected that the actual keyboard would be disabled but I was really hoping that a touch keyboard would appear in tablet mode. Is this possible? Its a little hard to use tablet mode if I have to keep flipping just to use the keyboard.
