The cheat list i have says that i have to type in words, but the console seems to lack a built in way to type. Is there any way to open up an on screen keyboard to type in text cheats?

It depends, if you play GTA San Andreas, you have to type it during game play, for other games, you can type it at the main menu and when paused the game.
Which game? There may be a cheat menu to type in the codes.
