Product Description: 

Software specially designed for people who need a quick communication tool when they have to control their computer with head, eye, or other movements using an on-screen keyboard. It is intended to produce short communication sentences vocalized by SAPI5 speech synthesis.

H Mouse

Letters in Groups are shown on the screen from which the start of the word is chosen. The groups are to be determined according to the needs of the user: one can choose an alphabetical EJARIN arrangement, or other. It includes a predictive dictionary with an automatic update of the frequencies of the words used.

SHEC (Short Head Eye Communication) 

Builds on the old H mouse program by improving it. Buttons with the groups of letters remain on the screen and are chosen when needed to spell out a word; with word prediction and a choice of layout for the buttons: horizontal or vertical to meet different accessibility requirements; colors and speed can be adjusted as needed.
