The software was originally built by Todd Landstad, a software engineer with years of experience with Tablet PC development. He developed the Tablet PC Speech Assistant as an aid for people who have problems speaking. The Tablet PC Speech Assistant can make it fairly easy for some people to have phrases that they often use spoken by the default voice on the Tablet PC. Given that the software require fairly good handwriting ability, and access to specific hardware, it will not be practical for some people. simonjudge Mon, 05 Jan 2009 17:06:37 +0000 http://www.oatsoft.org/Software/dkey Dkey is disambiguation software for computers - it works in a similar way to 'predictive text' on your mobile phone. It is designed to allow quicker text input for people with physical disabilities who can use a keyboard with a small number of keys, for example a number pad keyboard. It can also be used with mouse input, or with switch input via other software. It is designed with people with disabilities in mind, but could be used by anyone. simonjudge Wed, 12 Nov 2008 15:14:27 +0000 http://www.oatsoft.org/Software/qwriting Based on Ken Perlin's Quikwriting, this is a novel on-screen keyboard that works on mouse gestures. Moving your mouse in gestures across the Qwriting window turns the gestures into letters. This can be a very efficient way of typing for people who can only use a mouse and don't want to move the mouse much... simonjudge Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:45:51 +0100 http://www.oatsoft.org/Software/formedit-and-the-web-page-communicator-package-2 This is a revised version of the Web Page Communicator Package which contains a set of templates that are used to create web pages that behave similarly to dynamic display speech generating devices. The templates now work in many popular browsers and can be used on many platforms to produce simple, portable, and virtual communications devices. The pages support multiple access methods including single switch and two switch scanning, linear or row-column scans, and auditory scanning. formEdit is a template editor that makes it easy to build a useful communications page using the Web Page Communicator templates. The current template set offers choice grids with 4 to 24 cells. Supported browsers include Windows versions of Internet Explorer 5+, Firefox 2.0, Opera 9, and to a certain extent Safari 3.1 (point and click method only.) jimluther Tue, 12 Aug 2008 03:30:51 +0100 http://www.oatsoft.org/Members/jimluther/index_html I have recently submitted three programs that I use on a nearly daily basis with students at the school where I work. Two of the programs are used mostly as cause and effect media players and the other is a launcher program. Most of the students I work with are developing basic skills with hopes that they will master some sort of scanning approach for indicating preferences, and that they will eventually use these methods for more general communication. I also use these programs with students who use a touchscreen. Below is a more detailed description of these programs. administrator Accessibility Wed, 30 Jul 2008 03:13:28 +0100 http://www.oatsoft.org/Members/jimluther Home page area that contains the items created and collected by jimluther administrator Wed, 30 Jul 2008 03:13:28 +0100
