Remote Commander

Product Type: 
Device modifier
Manufacturer Name: 

Product Description: 

The Remote Commander allows PDAs to be used as an alternative keyboard and cursor.  People with Muscular Dystrophy (MD) and certain other muscular and nervous system disorders such as Cerebral Palsy (CP) may have difficulty operating a mouse and keyboard but can often still use their fingers to control a pencil or stylus, and thus can use a handheld computer such as a Palm. From the handheld, Remote Commander transmits to the PC the movements and taps of the stylus and characters entered into the PDA.

Main Features: 

  • Allows multiple people to take turns controlling the mouse and keyboard, for example in a meeting situation.
  • Use the PDA stylus as a pen input device for the PC, for freehand drawing or writing, or when a mouse is awkward for input.
  • Includes support for word completion and word prediction.

Primary Specifications: 

  • There are both Palm and Windows CE / Pocket PC versions of Remote Commander.

Options & Accessories: 

  • Shortcutter: draw panels of controls (buttons, scroll bars, knobs) on the handheld and then use them to control any PC application:
    • The buttons can be big enough to hit with a finger, or tiny so that many will fit on a screen.
    • Provides customizable interfaces on the PDA even for applications that do not have a customization facility on the PC.
