When you edit cells, a small input panel appears so you can enter text. The same happens when you want to highlight any editable text - for example, when you want to change a grid`s name on one of the tabs. There are also some extra preferences in the Tablet PC edition. You can right-click on a cell to edit it, and hover over a cell to hear it spoken.
