| SwitchXS 1.5.5 - Keyboard & mouse emulator
for disabled users. SwitchXS
provides virtually complete
access to Mac OS X and all
standard Mac applications for
people who can only use one or
more switches. It offers full
mouse and keyboard emulation
by means of a so-called
scanning mode. With each click
on the switch the user selects
an action, such as "move the
cursor up" or "type B", from a
"scanning" menu. SwitchXS is
typically used by people who
are, for example, quadriplegic
due to an accident, or
suffering from neuromotor
diseases such as Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
with very limited limb
movement. SwitchXS provides a
number of predefined scanning
panels that the user can
choose to move the cursor,
click, and type into all
standard Mac applications. It
also allows the user to set
scanning speed and cycling,
mouse speed, and
SmartTransparency?, which
makes the scanning panel
partially or fully transparent
when no scan is taking place
to enjoy optimum use of screen
real-estate. SwitchXS works
with any HID compliant USB
gamepad, joystick and
keyboard, and starting with
Mac OS X 10.3 also with any
HID compliant USB mouse or
trackball. SwitchXS also works
with USB switch interfaces
emulating any of the above
devices. SwitchXS is localized
in english, French and
Japanese, but also works with
most other languages. |
