KeyStrokes – On screen keyboard for disabled people

Shared by Ana Duarte on 2015-12-27 15:08

About the solution

David created KeyStrokes™, a fully-functional, advanced on-screen keyboard providing people with physical impairments as well as graphic tablet and touch screen users full access to the computer. His friend Giesbert helped him by designing the application icon for KeyStrokes as well as for several of the later AssistiveWare products.

KeyStrokes allows the user to use a mouse, trackball, head pointer or other mouse emulator to type characters into any standard Mac OS X application. For those who can position the pointer, but not click the mouse buttons, the integrated Dwellix™ system-wide dwell-based utility allows mouse button clicks to be entered by simply holding the cursor motionless for an adjustable period of time.

KeyStrokes provides advanced multilingual word prediction. Thanks to its revolutionary PolyPredix™ word prediction engine it can do word completion, next word prediction and even multi-word prediction.

The app is available for iOS.
